Roster has been improved on the O-line and DB side. 
Weaknesses are potentially D-line and definitely QB. 
A bad D-line can bring down even a good DB group. 
Same with a bad QB can bring down the entire offense. 
I agree and disagree with 5.5 wins. This team could be a playoff team or be competing for the number 1 pick.

I think our dline will be ok, but i am a glass half full person on this board. This article likes us too:

Fantasy article but still....

The Panthers' defense was underrated in 2021. Yes, the team struggled, but the offense holds the majority of the blame. The Panthers' defense finished 15th in DVOA and was middle of the pack in sacks. The defensive line did a good job getting pressure as they finished second in pass rush win rate. 

This unit has a ton of upside heading into 2022. Brian Burns is a star in the making, and Derrick Brown and Yetur Gross-Matos have the potential to break out. There is not a ton of depth, but watch out if the starters stay healthy.

He was perfectly healthy in 2019, in fact he had a record breaking season and we still won 5 games.  Running backs dont win games anymore in the NFL.  Its a new day.

Yeah, that's another thing.......

It's fine to say you want to be a road grading, run it down your throat offense but name the amount of teams in the NFL that have great success with that strategy.

Regardless of our running proficiency, we will need some competent QB play.

We've won 5 games the past 2 seasons, the question should be....What the fug are you watching? 

The key word in my op was “HEALTHY”, you know free of injury. I mean damn man, he’s the best RB and receiver on the team, the best dual threat in the league. So yeah, when your best player is out you’re going to lose most of those games. What happens if CMC plays in the Dallas, Philly and Minnesota stretch last year?

Honestly, I'm looking at our schedule, our coaches and our players.

I've got three maybe wins, New York Giants, Falcons, Falcons. I'd throw in one win to a team that will be surprisingly bad (not sure who it will be, but there's always one of them). 

I can't get behind even five wins. Steelers? Nope. Even with questions at QB, they're a better team and better coached. They can just keep handing the ball off and run us over. Detroit? That's a bad team getting better. We're a bad team spinning its wheels. Seahawks? Better coaching and they take us after a bye wherein we may have just lost our coach and folks are making January vacation plans on the team.

Yeah, I love some of our additions this off season, but I just have no faith in the coach. That being said, I'd love for him to prove me wrong, wrong, wrong, but that ain't going to happen.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
