Not sure why he was running down records around lunch time. He said Falcons will win the division, and our schedule is just too tough.

Hear the segment below

as much as poeple hate him, the man knows football. Was disappointed that he thinks we'll just be 'ok' albeit improved.

Cowherd knows football? Even Cowherd himself admits he isn't much of a sports expert....deems himself more of a people expert.

Cowherd also is a big market guy who can count on one hand the number of Panther game he has watched over the last 5 years.

Cowherd often can have a good pulse on fans and national view points...that's about it.

He bets on the game all the time, believe me; while he's a hack for MLB, etc. he knows College and NFL football. he does. He gets it big picture. Listen to him during the season this year. He gets it.

Cowherd is one of the most intelligent people on ESPN. I know that's like saying you have the fastest kid in the special olympics, but he gets it.

His tune sure has changed though. He's been all over Cam and the Panthers since about week 14. But I gotta admit, if our defense plays like it does last year, or Cam gets hurt....7-9 is a legitimate possibility.

Personally, I have them around 9-10 wins and a trip to the playoffs.

if our ST and D were in the neighborhood of being almost average.....we would have made the playoffs last year.

If Cam gets hurt early. We will be looking at 3 wins or so....

I start every season at 8-8....will move up or down once preseason starts and we know what we got

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
