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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
