Being the children they are, the Panthers seem to only play well when it's the "us against the world", "no respeck" underdog bs.  So I guess I'll take it.

Da fuq is this "hot take"?

It's rare that ONE team goes 3-13, five definitely won't

Yeah, especially the Redskins and the Bengals? No way.

How the hell are they picking the Cons with all the questions they have on defense but say we’re going 8-8 because Cam might not be healthy? What a freaking piece of garbage, I hope we make Brees and Ryan retire this year.

[EgoDogg]

Well, if Rivers and Thomas Davis get a Super Bowl, I won't be upset. But screw Philly being there.

[rippadonn]

Yeah, Falcants had a great off-season

[Waldo]

The only surprise here is that USA Today still exists. It should be printed on toilet paper so it has a use in this universe

[GoPanthers123]

Oh USA Today and their troll rankings.

Most of these speculations say if Cam is heathy we should contend. He seems healthy. Barring a huge setback we should be a playoff team. Sounds good.

By the way, if we go 8-8 this year it won't be just Rivera on the hot seat but Newton as well. Because if Newton has a good year this season there is no way we will do 8-8 or worse. If he doesn't play well we won't be investing 21 million in 2020 when we can cut him and save 19 million of it.  So for those Cam fans wanting Rivera gone, remember Cam's success is tied to the team's success as well.  One more injury plagued season and he is gone as well.

 Bolts are not winning the super bowl and I’d bet not even their division.  As for the Panthers, 8-8 is fair until we see how Cams shoulder holds up.  

[Bostonheelfish]

Vikings will not be good next year.

Pretty fair prediction for the Panthers. Not buying the Browns hype at all. Smells like the 2011 Eagles. Bengals and Lions will not be 3-13 by a long shot. Worst team I think will be the Broncos who are on the verge of an entire organizational collapse.

Otherwise nothing too outrageous. 

I don't know - the Dolphins roster is pretty awful. Only reason why they may not be that bad is because they get 4 games with the Jets and Bills (not sure what other nondivision games they have, but they may have more bad teams in the mix also to help them reach 4+ wins)

Feel free to cite one season where we were favored to do well and we actually did.  In fact, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a GAME where we were favored and actually did well. The team has never been able to perform on talent alone.

8-8 to me means the writers of this know nothing about the Panthers.

i mean, at least have the balls to say, 6-10 because Cam won’t make it or 12-4 because Cam comes back with a vengeance and Ron’s  new defense brings Ragnarok to the NFC South.

Then again ,the same writer said 10-6 for the Browns which is a total fantasy until they DO win 10 games and prove us all wrong.
