I know y'all love them.

Yahoo: 19
 
Next three games: St. Louis at home, at Tampa Bay, Atlanta at home. So 5-3 is very possible, which will make the inevitable 3-5 unbelievably maddening.

 

 

SBNation: 24
 
Cam Newton threw the ball 26 times. The Panthers ran it 39 times. Surprisingly enough, all that balance paid off. Newton threw three touchdown passes and added another one on the ground. Best of all, Newton's 9.3 yards per attempt was his best mark this season. This team's too talented to be under .500 this year.

 

 

ESPN: 24

 

Cam Newton completed a career-high 85.7 percent of passes within 10 yards downfield against the Vikings, with more touchdowns (two) than in his previous four games combined.

 

 

CBS: 23

 

Cam Newton had the kind of game this past week in Minnesota that is required of him every week if the Panthers want to get on a winning streak. The next three teams they play have losing records.

 

 

USA Today: 21 (Biggest mover, Up 7)

 

No, we really have no idea which Panthers team will show up each week.

 

 

PFT/NBC: 23

 

The Panthers don’t win often, but when they win, they win big.

 

 

Fox: 26

 

The Panthers' two wins have come against teams that are a combined 1-10 on the season.

Yahoo has been spot on recently.  They said before the Arizona game, Carolina still had a chance to have a strong season with a win vs the Cardinals.  That offer expires with a loss.  Offer has already expired.  Carolina will be chasing .500 all season.

It is just hard to know which team will show up. It is truly a Dr Jekll and Mr Hyde identity we have. We can definitely change that by being more consistent on offense. I think we will end up 5-3 in the next few weeks but time will tell

It's actually pretty easy to know which team will show up. When we play an atrocious train wreck of a team we get Dr. Jekyll, if we play a team that's anywhere close to average, we get Mr. Hyde.

Yeah I see chasing .500 all season on the horizon.

I dont quite buy into this yet. Bye weeks are a bitch and do more harm than good, espcially when it comes right after a huge 38-0 win to get momentum. The Panthers have made things right and had another huge blow out against the Vikings in a hostile enviroment away, we are right back to where we were after the Giants win only this time no pesky bye week to kill off momentum this time, with a easy schedule ahead I see the Panthers above .500 for the first time since 2008 come next Friday morning.

Meh, we have 3 winnable games and a chance to get above .500 right now. All depends in which Panther team plays

    • That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems. 
    • I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.     
    • I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
