How "good" are the Panthers really? Or how bad was San Diego?

Are we as good as advertised in the last 2 games?

Because for the life of me, the Atlanta game and 3 quarters of the chargers game, the Panthers were unstoppable. If we played like this all year, we probably would only have 1, maybe 2 losses....

It just makes me ask, what could have been this season? And now a small part of me now thinks this team is finally "getting it", and starting to sync....just about 10 games too late. My fear is that now this young team is starting to sync, what happens when a new coaching staff and/or a new GM guts it?

Carolina has been in almost every game all season.....regardless of opponent.

SD is just bad. Rivera, also isn't coaching scared bc the season is over....which helps. Also, Chud is calling better games and formations.

We are slightly better.....competition weaker

Our schedule is a whole lot easier and there's nowhere near as much pressure as earlier in the season.

Offense is finally clicking and is not completely handicapped by bad play calling.

I'm impressed with defense. Every time another starter goes down, it seems they improve as a unit. Were our normal starters that bad?

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
