That was hard to read.  The writer loves Chud and gives him credit for the last half of the year.  I think the success for the last half of the year for Cam and the O is because  Chud got neutered.

 

Lots of other crap....yada, yada..............

 

Bottom line.....if this article is typical.....I think the Panthers will surprise some people this year.

Thats a first

 

I can understand why someone would say that.  J Stew seems to be hurt all the time and Williams was a dissapearing act many weeks.  I was most impressed with Tolbert even if he is supposed to be a fullback.

Some of it was on point. Our o-line was not good. I dont think Byron Bell was "brutal". Injuries and starting a rookie at guard didnt help. Our receiver situation is not good. Would Lafell start for another team in the league? I think so. The RB struggles can be chalked up to injuries and the issue of the aforementioned O-line struggles. I think C-God is better than he thinks, but secondary has a lot to prove, obviously Haruki Nagasaki is a disaster. The guy gave too much credit to chud but im not sold on shula as an OC. Maybe Don Shula. That would be sweet. And then Cam. Despite all the line issues, lack of receiver depth, and RB "struggles", damned if he didnt figure it out by mid-season. Such a dynamic QB. I would pay to watch him practice.

Reviews are more important than previews.

One of the things I like about this coming season is that last year optimism was so high and we created an expectation that we had to live up to.

This year with a lot of negativity we have something to prove.

This thing just confused me. Like Davis being iffy because of injury? Did not realize he was hurt, after all, he did play all 16 games last year. Otah has been gone for basically 2 years, Chud got reined in the last half of the year, and there is no reason to believe Cam will improve.

Too many inaccuracies and bad speculations for me. I thought he hated us by the time I finished. Then he tells us we should go 9-7. Um, ok.

I love being underrated. Or, that my team is underrated, not me personally. That would be, well, counterproductive.

I think the OLine is key to our entire season.

If they can open holes for the running game, we go 10-6 and get the Wildcard

 

this. i really hope any perceived weaknesses in the line during training camp prompts a very quick acquisition of any of the solid free agents available at the position. it would be loathsome to blow another season because we went with guys on the line that were just serviceable.

"Gano was 9-of-11, but could easily regress in 2013 because he has struggled throughout his career."

 

although i agree that gano is some ass, this pretty much sums up the entire article. whenever the author said something slightly good about us he instantly tempered expectations and made it seem like whatever can go wrong absolutely will.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      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
