GRAB YOUR PITCHFORKS!!!

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!

WE WERE DISRESPECTED!!!

IT'LL BE ANARCHY!!!

This is funny. This thread, plus the rankings thread bring out the worst in the homers. The pessimists get poo for worrying, now you guys piss and moan when people don't predict us to go 19-0. I love this board! :lol:

I don't have a problem with a sportswriter predicting we won't make the playoffs. That is his opinion but to base it off of history? Give me some honest reasons...No running game. Defense is porous as a sponge. It is a stupid column and written like he had a dead line.

Exactly what I thought, nice.

"The Panthers have never had consecutive winning seasons or playoff berths in their 14-year franchise history. Alas, the beat goes on."

Damn! I didn't even realize this. That being said, I don't pay too much attention to opinions. This saying is trite, but true:

"Opinions are like A-holes...Everybody has one!"

If Atlanta and Carolina are out, then...:confused:

Further evidence that Banks' analysis is not very well thought out.

We are arguably the most talented and complete teams, on both sides of the ball, in this division.

Bucs/Saints, NFC South champions? That's a bold prediction...

Banks really had no clear rationale for his picks but trends and his own opinion. He mentioned that Tampa was 9-3 when we played them but forgot to mention we were 9-3 as well and the only difference was that they had already beaten us so they had the tie breaker. He mentions that no team has repeated as division winner without noting for example that we broke the last to first jinx last year and could break the no repeat division winner as well. Yes we have not been a model of consistency but we have only has 1 losing season in the past 4 and that was 7-9. Not exactly poor either.

I think what I react to is the deal that the Saints will be better this year and we won't with no evidence or proof just speculation based on trends which really hold little water. For example did he note we swept the saints last year. Did he note that the Saints are even a bigger model of inconsistency?

Pretty useless article with little more than speculation to back it up.

Forgot the end to that altruism...

"Opinions are like A-holes...Everybody has one, and no one likes to hear 'em!"

:lol:

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
