Cowherd Says We Go 7-9


Recommended Posts

it's really too early to make predictions. after training camp and preseason we should have a pretty good idea if this is a playoff caliber team or not.

i would say it has the potential to make the playoffs although a lot has to go right. i don't see it as a team so stacked in talent that playoffs are nearly guaranteed. we are just too thin at key positions for that to be the case.

gamble gets hurt we have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL. CJ gets hurt we have the worst DLine. Smitty gets hurt our WR corps looks really bad. Cam being injured would be a disaster of course. Although losing your franchise QB would kill any team some of the elite teams in the league are stacked at other positions to where losing guys isn't that big a deal. I don't see us being in that position. we need some young guys to step up, be fairly injury free and win our share of close games.

When it comes to prognosticating a team's win-loss record, unlike some in the Huddle, Cowherd will admit when he was way off the mark. You have to take what these national types say with a grain of salt, because due to their time constraints they are compelled to rely on highlights, local analysts and beat reporters for an appreciable part of their analysis. I'm not going to nail Cowherd to the cross any more than any of the others.

Cowherd is really ignorant on this.

We won 6 games last year with a rookie qb, injury riddled D, terrible ST's, and learning a new system.

So getting back Beason, Davis, Edwards, Gettis,Hogan and adding Kuechly, Amini, Alexander, Adams, and Norman is only good for ONE more win?!?!? GTFO

Not to mention ST's getting revamped!

All that ALONE is worth 2 - 3 more wins.

I see us winning 9 - 12 games easy.

Maybe it is just taking him awhile to warm up to our additions. For example: Dash during draft-What in the fug?, Who are these fuggers?, Hurney is a fug!, But Tommy Streeter is 30 feet tall and runs a 2.2 40.

Dash 2 weeks after the draft- 9-12 wins easy #mufuginSuperbowl. Maybe Cowterd will come along too.

Naw, I def knew who our players were. Just wanted a pass rusher in the first 2 rounds. Love our additions though.

Cowherd is just plain ignorant. He must think Beason and Davis had career ending injuries and that Edwards is a scrub.

Not to mention no improvement in year 2 of a new system / coach.

9 - 12 wins EASYYYYYYYY

    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
    • Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
