This is not a happy thread

My one sentance review of the Fox Sports first annual NFL organizational rankings as compliled by that most fantastic of commentators, Adam Schein:

Adam Schein can kiss my hairy manhood and nuzzle the coin purse with that obnoxious nose of his.

Seriously, does he even watch football or does he just look at three year old stat sheets and assume based on overall popularity? And even at that he fails. Pittsburgh is a worse franchise than New England? This is a great example of why you should never try to apply math to a pure opinion.

Ugh...and I'm trying to be fugin nice here....I'm pretty sure my verbatim opinion on this would be deleted and I'd be banned.

Anyway, here's the Panthers' ranking, for what it's worth anyway (which is exactly as much as a cup of elephant shi....happy pretty clouds, happy pretty clouds...)

17. Carolina Panthers

Overall Score: 56.5

Do you believe in Jake Delhomme? I'm not convinced he has much left in the tank and generously gave him a 5. Is Ron Meeks the right hire for John Fox? I'm not convinced of that either. Carolina's coaching staff recorded a 6. But Fox (7), Marty Hurney (8.5), Jerry Richardson (8.5), and a relatively new yet very passionate fan base (7 for intangibles) helped out in key categories.

Ok...I'm done now... Dammit I hate the offseason.

Okay, I knew he was full of crap when I saw Atlanta at #6 ahead of Green Bay, Cowboys, Phins.

I stopped reading that crap. But it's the offseason. He's got to at least look like he's trying to earn his paycheck.

One thing I have noticed is how similar all of these rankings are. Sure they might be off by one or two here and there but how often does one guy put a team at 17 for example that someone ranks a 7 or 8. Yet we know that some teams ranked high will end up being a pretender while others will do much better than they are ranked. I think there is a "group think" where one ranking affects the other. Guys are almost afraid to deviate much from their bretheren. They would almost rather be wrong as long as it is wrong together. That way they all talk about how no one saw that one coming.

Just an observation......

I don't put much stock in assessments like this. Think about it, he rates the Cards higher than most other teams. The Cards, forever it seems, have had the worse ownership in pro sports (with the possible exception of the NBA's Clippers). I truly believe last season was the proverbial "every dog has its day" for them. Carolina will be alright this season if we stay healthy and get some depth at key positions, like the O-line..

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
