Mostly true.  I would say O-line in general.  While LT is the glaring issue, LG and center are by no means solid.  Miller at RG is good enough, but really the only fixture is Moton.  I'm still baffled by the Elflein signing, at least the amount we gave him.  His contract keeps him here for at least two years unless we take a huge cap hit.  Linebacker is set unless we have an injury...it just lacks depth.

Quick comment on the Panthers by Albert Breer in the latest MMQB...

One team I think is better than people realize: Carolina. If the Panthers can figure things out at linebacker and left tackle, I think you’ll see Matt Rhule’s program working in a weakened NFC South.

Ive said that all offseason.  We are going to be in contention for a wildcard spot this year.  I feel it

Me as well.  I've said 9-10 wins earlier on.  One of those games was a Joey Slye contingency, he was good for at least a loss.  I'm solid at 10 wins now.

Granted I am banking on A) Atlanta's defense being LOL funny  B)The saints/Jamesis tripping on their dick and to a lesser degree C)Tom Brady finally falling off a cliff

 

Starting off 3-0 heading into Dallas IMO is the key to the entire season

Eh, I'm mostly focusing on us, not he competition.  If the OL can hold up, Darnold can hold his own (not asking for Pro Bowl-type season out of him) and the team stays healthy...we can make some waves in the NFC regardless of how the rest of conference shakes out.

The Panthers will have a good season if two things happen:

The defense can get off the field on 3rd downs unlike last season

The offense can sustain drives and score more consistently in the red zone

Thats really it. Those two areas improve over last year this could be a playoff team.

I hear you but thats 6 games we are playing and 2 of those teams are tittering on being a 4,5,6 wins so we need to capitalize.

Who is weakened? Jameis in New Orleans should be better than New Orleans with Brees for the past two or three years. Tom Brady is still here, Atlanta is still very talented.

The entire NFC South is better than people thing. Small market problems. They think the Cowboys are super bowl contenders and that the Saints will fall off a cliff because they upgraded at quarterback...

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
