Not bad at all. A little overly optimistic about certain things - like Sherrod Martin, sorry but the guy just isn't very good. Beason will probably stay at middle, but we'll probably see alot of 2 LB sets just using Beast and Keuchly considering they both cover so much ground and are strong in coverage.

Hey... I gotta keep everybody aware of my Awesomeness :)

I agree. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with your in-depth analysis of the Panthers. I have to agree the big question on the offense is definitely the wideout/Tight end role, mainly the second in the depth chart.

The Defensive line is also a big question mark, but I remain optimistic. I'm expecting bigger things from all of them this year since they will have a regular off season unlike last year. Especially the then, rookies, now 2 year guys. With Edwards coming back that interior line may actually be decent.

I think a lot of people instantly dismissing the fact that the Panthers won 6 games last year in spite of horrific special teams and defensive injuries. You guys realistically should've beaten the Vikes, Bears, Saints* (once), Falcons (once), Packers AND Cardinals.. that was a potentially a playoff team right there in Charlotte

Not only this, but I think if we got into the playoffs as hot as we were, and if we were able to get a couple guys back, we would've won a game or two.

The last game of the year was the worst loss of the season.

Your point?

2008 Arizona Cardinals had lost to the Patriots something like 48-7. Then ended up in the superbowl losing on a last second TD with an 8-8 record.

Your next argument against your team please?

Our secondary is garbage outside of Gamble, though Norman is showing promise he is unproven. Godfrey is meh to be honest, not as good as advertised. Sherrod Martin is awful. Brandon LaFell is a legit #2. Beason is not better suited for weakside he is a MLB, Kuechly is going to be playing weakside. Other than those things I hear what you're saying. Only time will tell where we stand in the division, though I believe the Panthers can finally knock the Saints********** off their pedestal.

We're probably going to be in a lot of close games again this season. I think we'll be good enough to hang with the better teams like the Saints**, and blow out some of the worst teams. The biggest problem I see heading into this season is that we don't have a lot of talent in the secondary, and we're facing teams like the Saints** and Falcons twice. Also, we need Cam to audible, and I don't know if he's at that level yet or not. Should be a fun season none the less, and I've never been this excited about a Panther team.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?

      I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.

      It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
