Panthers one of most over-rated teams

It's like people have forgotten that our 15-1 Super Bowl team had a weak OL, WR corps, and secondary too. That secondary was trash outside of Norman, though admittedly Kurt Coleman did have a career year (probably largely due to Norman). 

Yes. I recall when KB went down, everyone who watched football said we were done....

Hell, honestly most of us here thought we were done. I sure wouldn't have predicted 15 wins and a Super Bowl run at that point, I know that.

Playoffs 4 of 5 years.  How many other teams?

 

Also happen to play in the hardest division in football.

Smith is a wayyyyy better deep threat than Ginn and if he can Cam develop good chemistry, watch out.

We’ll see...

Given Ginn’s frame he’ll most likely be fast till the day he dies. Torrey is built completely different. With that said, he did just turn only 29 so hopefully he still has enough left to be a threat. 

That’s basically all we need Torrey for is the home run pass. Hands wise though, yeah obviously Smith >>> Ginn

Meh.....everyone seems to be saying they are not a playoff team. That doesn't suggest overrated. I'm not sure how anyone could look at this roster compared to last two and not think it appears to be stronger.

LOL! Here comes your poor, dumb, over-reactionary, triggered ass.

Did I say it was a blueprint? I was simply pointing out that a former 15-1 Super Bowl team had many of these same weaknesses because this blurb said "A former NFC champ moving away from the things that made them contenders." 

 

You loooooove pointing out the WR group from 2015 every chance you get so for someone who doesn’t think it’s a blueprint you sure as hell don’t ever miss an opportunity to bring it up

Context. I know you don't understand it, but it would definitely help your posting immensely. Your shtick of storming into threads aggressively and condescendingly like you're the smartest guy in the room when in reality you don't understand the context of the post you're responding too is beyond old and it's why no one takes you seriously. You're the temper tantrum throwing toddler in the restaurant that everyone wishes that their parents would take them home so the adults could continue to enjoy their meals.

Maybe it is me but how does an 11-5 team who upgraded at many positions still end up with this kind of negative press. Aren't we projected by pundits to miss the playoffs and finish third in our division? How can we be thought of as overrated?  This is going to sweet when we steam roll our opponents and roar into the playoffs.

Yeah, it seems like most of these media types that want to call us overrated are seemingly missing out on the fact that virtually everyone is picking the Panthers to miss the playoffs this year. The only way we're going to end up being overrated is if we end up with a top 5 pick. I don't think many expect us to suck THAT bad.

You sir, get a beer for that.  Being cognizant of context could immensely help many on here, ha

I'm not sure how we're overrated to begin with when it seems the consensus, from what I've read, is that we aren't very good.  

right, right

Call me a homer but honestly I think there is a reasonable chance to go all the way to Atlanta if we win our division. That of course will be very difficult but not impossible.

[Moo Daeng]

This is a perfect situation for the team.

Hey, there's always a chance. We're all 0-0 right now. We were 7-8 and lost our #1 WR in training camp before going 15-1 and going to the SB.

Outside of LG, I honestly think we're better across the board than we were last year. Our secondary still scares the hell out of me and I'm concerned that Peppers won't be able to duplicate last year's performance, but overall... yeah, I think we're significantly better on paper than last year's 11-5 team.
