power rankings week 17

Rewind your mind back to a few moths ago.  We were 1-3 and bandwagon fans were leaving in droves like rats jumping from a sinking ship.  Even the diehards questioned the future of this team.

 

Fast forward to today.  A much maligned media outlet, and probably a few more to come, have us at numero uno.  They all have us close to the top, yet we still have so much room to grow.   

 

Who knew this storm of a team was brewing?  The vast majority had given up hope.  I ask you again, who knew?  I'll tell you who.  Fifty-six men on the field and their coaches.  They believed, and so should you.

 

You know the two words that come next, but I don't feel worthy of uttering them because I too had doubted this team, so I'll just say Merry Christmas instead.

 

 

Over reacting seems quite normal for Panther fans. Some are always ready to bench Cam at the least mistake regardless of who makes it. The Coaches are all walking the plank but not pushed into the water if the team wins.

 

U agree so much with your second statement. A true fan believes their team can and will win even when they are not playing their best.

u cant load the huddle? then how the hell did you post this?

 

From my phone.  I just got it working on my laptop.  No idea what happened, everything else worked, just not the Huddle.  I reached out to Zod on Twitter, but he big timed me.

The last paragraph is priceless.

"In five years, when The Golden Calf of Bristol is leading Denver into the playoffs and Cam Newton is riding someone's bench, remember this article."

Yeah. Remember.

Everybody needs to give this dumb@ss Gator / Buc fan hell. He has no business writing any articles. He needs to keep his promise too. The Golden Calf of Bristol? REALLY? WOW HOW DUMB IS THIS GUY???

Wow, did not see that coming.  I still think Seattle is #1 and should be considered the favorites with their having the games at home.  I am fine with us being anywhere 2-4 along with SF and Denver.  I think you can put those three in any order.

 

Even so, it sure as hell does feel good to see.

 

Seattle's having trouble clinching right now.  And we've done better than they have against the same opponents.

 

I'd put Denver at #1, though.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
