There is quite the optimism around our Carolina Panthers despite a horrific start. Our MVP QB goes down and we still somehow manage to pull out of an 0-2 start to a solid 4-2 record with a statement game ahead of us next weekend to determine whether we are a contender or like so many teams in the NFC, a pretender.. We have found success on offense, and our defense is getting after the QB and getting it done. But there is alot of ball left to play.

A look at the questions ahead...

San Fran gets into an old fashioned slush bucket battle against the skins and their defense shows out. Is San Fran for real, or do they finally meet a contender next week? One thing is certain their defense is very good and hopefully Allen is ready to make decisions under fire and our defense can slow the run. That'll determine this one.

Our arch rival, the New Orleans Saints, has once again managed to pull off the W with ole Teddy two gloves at the helm. Sean Payton, as much as I hate the guy, has consistently found ways to fill the void and put his team in positions to win, but I think they can be BEAT. We will have to be very disciplined on D and pressure the poo out of their QB. But with Brees on the way back, they are between us and another divisional championship yet again with our Playoff hopes likely on the line for that one.

Then the dreaded Cam Newton and Kyle Allen debate that is looming in our future. Let's just say that I pray whatever decision is made leads to the immediate success of our team, but I hope we have learned by what we've seen with the offense and how it takes shape around Allen, and then use it with Cam in ways that they have with Allen. I believe Cam can make the throws we have seen from Kyle, only if he is afforded the time and the creativity in game planning from Norv and he is 100% game ready.

The wildcard is going to be tight and an 11-5 record may be enough to steal it away. Alot of football left to play. Only time will tell our fate this season.

Out of all the questions that have yet to be answered, no matter the opinion, one thing is certain my fantasy team sucks without Christian McCaffrey and Sundays just don't hit right without panthers football on the TV.

 

RUN CMC, RUNNNN!

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
