Following are a few notes on Carolina's 2014 opponents:

• The Panthers will play nine games against teams that finished the year with a .500 or better record, including six contests against opponents who made the playoffs during the 2013 campaign.
• Carolina is tied with San Francisco for the 17th-toughest strength of schedule (.494) based on 2013 records. The Panthers had the toughest strength of schedule (.543) entering the 2013 season.
• The Panthers have compiled a 12-12 regular season record versus the NFC North since division realignment in 2002.
• The game against Minnesota will be played outdoors at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium while the Vikings' new stadium is under construction.
• Carolina will host the Seahawks for the third consecutive year. It will mark the teams' fourth meeting in the last five years after they only played three times in the franchise's first 15 seasons.
• The Panthers own a 5-7 all-time record against the AFC North.

The NFL's scheduling formula implemented in 2002 with realignment guarantees that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis. Under the formula, every team within a division plays 16 games as follows:

We're going to have to be strong at home again next year.  We have some really really tough road games:

 

At Green Bay

At New Orleans

At Baltimore

At Cincy

At Philly

 

Steelers at BOA is practically a road game too, sadly.

Truth be told, the Eagles are garbage at home. 10 straight home loses from 2012-2013 and the worst home record in the NFL since 2011. Haven't had a winning season at home since 2009.

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
