I still think 9-8 would be a good result with a rookie QB. Next year is where expectations ramp up.

No way is the floor this low. 8 wins minimum And all three picked #1 because of their worst record year before. That’s not the Panthers

Terrible take, they were on rebuilding teams with little talent around them. Panthers picked #1 because they traded up. They would have been a playoff team last year with a decent QB play and Bryce Young is as NFL ready as any QB in history

I expect 9-10 win. Anything less than a winning record is a failure

Big difference between 7 and 10

OK - I got you now.

WTF - Dalton is not even going to start Game 1. If he does, then we chose the wrong QB.

Basically we're expected to win 8 games or more, but finish 3rd in division behind Saints and Falcons, miss the playoffs. Panthers over/under win total Odds provided by FanDuel Sportsbook – last updated May 14 at 11:18 p.m. ET; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. 7.5 wins: (Over: -122 | Under: +100) The Panthers added Young to the offense, which is seen as an obvious upgrade. Even if Dalton were to start, serving as a bridge before Young is deemed ready, it should be viewed as an upgrade over the previous QBs Baker Mayfield, then Sam Darnold. In addition, the team leaned upon RB D’Onta Foreman, who ended up in Chitown. However, Sanders is an obvious upgrade and proven talent in this league. In addition, while Moore was the obvious No. 1 last season, the team added veteran talent with Chark and Thielen, joining up-and-comers WR Terrace Marshall Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr. and Shi Smith. The team brought back WR/KR Damiere Byrd for veteran stability, too. The defense should also be better, especially in the back end, with Bell joining DBs Jeremy Chinn and Donte’ Jackson. CB Jaycee Horn also looked like a budding superstar before suffering a broken wrist in December. This is a defense on the rise. With obvious upgrades across the board at key positions, it’s not hard to believe this team will be at least 1 game better in the standings, if not more. As such, OVER 7.5 WINS (-122) is a great play. Panthers Super Bowl odds +6000 (bet $100 to win $6,000) OK, let’s pump the brakes a bit. While I believe the Panthers could easily challenge for a Wild Card spot, and perhaps a division title, this isn’t a roster constructed to challenge for a championship just yet. In fact, the Panthers are tied with the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders at +6000, and that’s the 4th-longest odds to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. I believe the Panthers are going to struggle to get above .500, although it’s certainly possible. But this isn’t a team in the same stratosphere as the Kansas City Chiefs (+600), favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champs, or the defending NFC champ Philadelphia Eagles (+850), who have the 2nd-shortest odds. At +6000, Carolina has an implied probability of winning the Super Bowl of 1.64% or 60/1 fractional odds. The Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans have the longest odds at +18000. I would AVOID tying up money on a futures play on Carolina to win the Super Bowl, at least this season. If Young pans out, and the team jells together nicely, perhaps 2024 is when the organization will make move up to contender status. Will the Panthers make the playoffs? Yes +168 | No -210 This is a tremendous value play, and perhaps the best futures option on the board involving the Panthers. The NFC South is wide open, and the Panthers should be able to contend for a division title, which would obviously net them a playoff spot. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for a Wild Card spot to be in play, too. Carolina’s schedule gets a little hairy around the holidays, including 3 consecutive road games in Tennessee, Tampa and New Orleans from Weeks 12 through 14. We’ll know where this team is after that stretch. I think the best path to a playoff spot is winning this division, and a 9-8 or 10-7 record might be able to get that done. I think the Panthers are certainly capable of such. Odds to win NFC South Division Saints +125 (bet $100 to win $125) Falcons (bet $100 to win $260) Panthers +350 (bet $100 to win $350) Buccaneers (bet $100 to win $550) The Panthers made a lot of nice upgrades across the board, from the skill positions on offense, to the defensive coordinator, defensive line and the coaching staff, as a whole. This is a team on the rise. The NFC South was won with a losing record last season, as Tampa Bay get to raise a division title banner despite going just 8-9. Everyone else was 7-10, as it was that close. Carolina and Tampa Bay were each 4-2 inside the division, and if the Panthers can duplicate those numbers, the rest of the schedule could net them at least 5 or 6 more wins. The Saints added QB Derek Carr, and the Falcons added an important piece by grabbing RB Bijan Robinson in the draft, while the Bucs have a new signal caller in former Panthers QB Mayfield. Everyone made upgrades, but Carolina might have made the best, and most dramatic additions. This is a retooled team which is a great value, giving bettors a chance to multiply their initial wager by 3 1/2 times. Go for it! Panthers odds to win NFC +3000 (bet $100 to win $3,000) I like the Panthers to potentially win the NFC South Division, or maybe even make the playoffs as a Wild Card. However, I am not about to waste lettuce picking Carolina over the likes of the Eagles (+330), San Francisco 49ers (+350), Dallas Cowboys (+600) or even the Detroit Lions (+1000) to represent the NFC in Super Bowl 57 in Las Vegas. This team isn’t that far away from competing for a championship if owner David Tepper and general manager Scott Fitterer didn’t miss on Young. However, you should AVOID tying up good money on the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

What’s so impressive about this throw? Thrown off target, would easily get picked off against starting CBs

Oh right. I think he is taking some pressure off Bryce and letting him focus on learning but he fully expects he will get there by first preseason game. Bryce will “earn it” in camp

And he did so what’s the problem?

These mf's are just showing their insecurity. They're out there reading tweets from opposing fans and don't have the balls to stand up for their QB. Just take a look at this tweet by Barstool, the TMZ of sports. It's clearly a poor angle to judge how big/small someone is when you have the Offensive Line close to you and Bryce Young walking away. Of course he will look even smaller, so does everyone else who is farther away. It's just so stupid. They picked this one on purpose because it makes him look twice as small. Clickbait journalism crap.

These two are going to have a special chemistry. I really like Mingo's mentality, he seems to have the same mindset like Bryce. He knows how to handle the media too.

Wait until the first batted ball or if he is slow getting up. Mods will need to make it a bannable offense or it’s never going away.

Unbelievable. How is this idiot employed

Ha! I remember many said Burrow would fail because of his arm strength

This is not even a trend in the NFL If anything the trend is more attempts, with short and intermediate passing, taking advantage of an RPO style, spread offense, taking advantage of softer coverage due to inability to touch the wide receivers. You throw deep for balance. Deep completions were mainly associated with old school passing where you run it most of the time and try to go deep off playaction. For reference Season Yds per Completion 2022 10.9 2012 11.6 2002 11.3 1992 11.9 1982 12.4 1972 13.2

I listen and read a lot of the national media and it baffles me how many of them are jumping on the Falcons bandwagon to win the NFCS. Some even think Panthers “take a step back” this year. I am so glad they’re underestimating this roster and coaching staff, and they’re disrespecting Bryce as the #1 pick.

TMJ should get a little wider on his stance, me thinks. But what do I know

Gettleman would be jealous, he liked them BIG

back woods of West Virginia lol

Can he make every NFL throw with his arm strength? yes Does he make up for lack of top tier arm strength with top tier anticipation? Yes I love Cam but one of his biggest weaknesses was lack of anticipation and he would often have to rely on his arm strength to get the ball to the receiver on time. We saw what happened when that arm strength went away due to injuries and he couldn't play anymore.

You mean Jeff George is not in the Hall of Fame with his 99 arm strength rating.

We used to, not sure what happened to it. Someone probably got scammed

We need to start 2-0 against ATL and NO.
