Eric Davis on NFL Network makes sense "Carolina will have a tougher road back to the Super Bowl, because the NFC is tougher than the AFC"

He is right but its hard to gauge the Vikings now that they've played QB roulette.

He didn't say the Vikings.  He was talking more about the Packers, Seahawks, and Cardinals.  He's got a point on all three.  They all have weaknesses though, Packers have a weakness on defense with their average defense.  Seahawks have a weakness on the Offensive line.  Cards have a weakness on the Offensive Line as well, and pass rush or lack thereof.

Don't know if I agree overall.  The last two Superbowl winners are AFC.  And the weakest division in the NFL is probably going to be the NFC east again.   

 

I do agree that the Panthers likely have a tougher road this year than they did last year, primarily because we are playing the NFC and AFC west.

He was talking more Playoffs.  He's got a point, we'll have to go through GB, Seattle, and Zona to get there.  Just because the AFC's best teams are the Pats (Brady is turning 40 soon, Father Time is calling)and Broncos.  Name another team in the AFC that's a Super Bowl contender?  Oh wait, nothing?  Fair enough.

I'll take Brady playing at 40 over Carson Palmer at 37.

Steelers are definitely a superbowl contender.  In fact, this year they might be the favorite.

They have a massive weakness.  Their defense, and we saw last year if injuries hit on the offensive side they're screwed.  Unlike us, where if an injury hits us at RB or WR.  We still have Cam.

Cardinals are done I think. They got to the championship game last year and we crushed them. Fitz and palmer are both a year older and Floyd, brown and David Johnson arent anything special.   Packers, Seahawks and Panthers are all better and I think they know it. 

 

So if we were in the afc it would be new England or pittsburgh.  Either way it's two teams that are on the Panthers level.

And yet Green Bay was named as a Superbowl Contender, and their defense wasn't much better than Pittsburgh's.  And unlike Green Bay, the Steelers have a running game.  With their offense, the Steelers only need a slight improvement on the defensive side to get past the Pats and Broncos. 

 

But this is a comparison of conferences.  And imo, the NFC east makes the NFC worst overall.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
