What is the huddle concensus terribly wrong about this year?

It seems like every year we collectively get something completely wrong about the Carolina Panthers.

 

A couple years ago it was "Cam starting off slow and the defense keeping us in games" Turns out the opposite was true.

 

Last year it was "Cam and the offense will blow teams out, no need for a good defense". Turns out the defense kept us in games as the O struggled.

 

 

So take a look around. What is the Huddle consensus on any given topic and what will most likely be a whiff?

True...every year we are super confident in something and it highly disappoints and a worry normally isn't that bad.

So based on the talks....either Steve Smith or the defensive line disappoint.

Either our secondary or someone not named Smitty is out most productive WR (with Smitty being decent)

No need for anyone to have a meltdown, but unpopular opinion alert incoming:

 

Cam might still have problems with losing properly next year. We all know it's true, we're just huge homers and are blinded to it at times. Cam is a sore loser, and it affects him in games when things aren't going his way. The second half of last season it seemed like he was finally maturing, but will this continue if we get off to YET ANOTHER slow start this year?  Obviously no one knows for sure, but I do know this: Cam is the most critical part of this team. If he can step up both his play and leadership, he can take this team to a new level. If he keeps reverting to a sixth-grader mentality when losing or not playing perfect, this team will never reach its full potential.

 

tl;dr- We all want to hope Cam has finally grown up, not so sure if he really has. Time will tell. His development into an elite quarterback is what is holding us back from getting to the playoffs and making a run.

 

 

Another one I just thought of: don't expect Star and KK to be dominate forces in the first quarter of the season. I expect gradual progression with both of them. Rarely are DT's dominate in their first year in the league (exception: Suh).

Yeah by this logic...

 

-Top 10 offense

-Defense that struggles as a unit

-Some young players step up in a big way and we have a top notch secondary

-Defensive line struggles for some reason, probably because Chico is really good at holding players back (Limiting Star to 60% of defensive snaps)

-One of our WRs finally step up and take over the #1 spot

 

Past those I'd just be pissing in the wind. Honestly, I don't think this logic will work this season.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
