Not much new here, but something else to review before training camp kicks off. Berstein has the Panthers at 14 behind the likes of Houston, Buffalo, Seattle, New Olreans....

14. Carolina Panthers- Previous ranking: (13)

What we like: A fantastic ground game and a motivated Julius Peppers.

What we don’t like: John Fox has never had two winning seasons in a row, and we’re not convinced that Delhomme can still get it done.

Record range: They have 11 or 12 win potential. Our guess: 9-7.

The Fox not having back-to-back winning seasons is b.s. when you factor in the injuries during those losing seasons. Delhomme continues to get the "shrug" because of the Cards game. I think he will prove the doubters wrong this year.

Way too high for SD. That crap about Fox and they don't mention Norv Turner?

Vikings at 6? AD stands for All-Day. Dude fumbles all day. Jared Allen is overrated and the QB situation is poo even with Favre. JOKE

Texans at 8? Another joke.

The Saints above Carolina or Atlanta?

Seattle higher than 20 is comical at best

Atlanta at 17? I'm a homer but behind the likes of the Saints and Seattle?

Cards in the NFCW are far better than 18

Oakland is too high.

How are the Lions anywhere but 32?

Broncos really got the shaft at 31. They won't be in the playoffs but 31 is much.

A fuging monkey could make a better list.

What is BS is his saying Fox never having 2 winning seasons in a row then he predicts a 2nd winning season in a row.

Also look at the Buffalo Call at 12

13. Buffalo Bills- Previous ranking: (9)

What we like: A great set of weapons for Trent Edwards to throw to, and a very underrated coach.

What we don’t like: The offensive line and the defensive line.

Record range: If the Bills can protect Edwards, they can win double-digit games. If the lines aren’t good, this is a .500 team. Our guess: 10-6.

He doesn't like their Offensive AND Defensive lines ? ! ! ? ! ! And he ranks them above us? Give me a break, we have a top 5 O-line easy and our Defensive line has some great playmakers . . . . top ten by seasons end on the D-line with the Meeks approach to defensive football.

Why rank Buffallo above Carolina when they have weak lines? What Terrell Owens? we have Steve Smith. . . . . Nah it all because he is a Jake Doubter I guess. We'll see . . . Last year they all predicted a weak season for Carolina because of Tommy John.

I'm Ready for Sept 13th . . .Let the Games begin.

Guess I'll enjoy the summer first though:patriot:

We will begin a quick ascent up the rankings when we come out of the gate 3-0....beating the likes of Philly, Atlanta, and Dallas.

I don't know if it complete bs. NE lost Brady week 1 and had an 11 win season w/ a QB whose last start was in college as a TE. Injuries happen and Fox isn't the best or quickest adjuster......and like to stick w/ what he had planned when everyone was healthy.

We just have to get wins...one after another and then respect will follow. Just when everyone and their mom wanted to latch on to the Panthers 2 seasons ago we faltered badly! Fox and Delhomme are still overcoming that and another 11-12 win season or NFC South title will erase any hot seats either is on.

Oh yeah...pre season power rankings are as important as my final draft results of my fantasy draft..."not very".

Well at least he said that we have 11-12 win potential.

Oh, and having Houston that high is fuging retarded....they have never had a winning season or made the playoffs, and they have Matt Schaub at QB, but he gives us poo about Jake?????

I have no problem with that ranking. It's not based on ignorant ideas and it's low enough that it should motivate the team. I get nervous when we start getting respect(I know that sounds bad but bad things seem to happen everytime!)

I agree. But do think that he should just be honest and admit that they're basing their predictions of a 9-7 year on the performance in the Cards game. That's really what it's all about at this point.

      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
