We had CMC for years. We were never competitive without a QB.

 

 

Atlanta weakness is still QB. I wouldn't expect a rookie rb to make them the favorites in the division.

The entire division has a QB weakness. We're just hoping that we've solved ours.

They have a stud wr, rb and te. Some people thought highly of Desmond Ridder. He did get better during his four starts, but I doubt he ends up as a quality NFL starter. More likely the shine wears off over the course of the season and they are back to trying to find a qb. 

Who is their stud WR?

Mostly I stick to the NFL Network for national NFL news. I have not heard any one of their analysts call for Atlanta to win the division. Not one. It's either been the Panthers or New Orleans. The Bucs have consistently been at the bottom. 

I think one of the problems analysts have when looking at the NFCS is that the Panthers have no history for them to consider. No they finished the year strong chatter. No they have a D they can build on. The only consistent from last year is our o-line and that may be in flux because of injuries. Oh, and our kicker and punter and long snapper. New head coach, 99% new staff, new QBs, new offensive weapons, new defensive alignment. We can't yet be analyzed as a whole package with history. So the analysists that are good at their jobs are looking at Frank Reich and what has been said plus each player individually. Those that are not good at their jobs are dismissing us.

That’s what I’m saying. People keep hyping up their weapons but I can only guess it’s based on college performance and expectations cuz London and Pitts both are just meh. They’re ok but nothing to get worked up about.  Some teams some years just get hype and the benefit of the doubt. The Bucs were the next great team for like ten years before they got Brady. Brady made it sorta true for one year and then they fell back to earth and mediocrity.

London and Pitts need a QB my man. 

 

Pitts had a great rookie season when he had Matt Ryan when he was playing like a mid tier QB. Last year they weren't even using him as a weapon. That guy should be used like Kelce.

 

Once they get a legit QB they will be scary. It's why I was happy when they pulled out of the Lamar sweepstakes.

They have been oddly built for a while now. They are more than just a qb away, but that kind of fits with how they've gone about roster construction. 

There's been a bunch spent on oline with diminishing returns. They have a couple of pieces on defense, but have failed to build around them. They continue to draft skill players highly, as if they are 1 superstar away. It's all very curious, and I don't get the logic, but I'm ok with it since it's the Falcons.

I remember when we got a former t10 CB for peanuts. Don’t mean poo.

They paid even less for okudah and his issue was injuries more than poo play. Of course, that’s just one addition they’ve made as referenced above. I don’t know if it will work but there is reasonable cause to believe that their defense will be better with changes just as it is that our offense could be better.

Says Panthers will compete for worst record in the league and that Bryce is a downgrade at QB.

Weird situation, they were in run/rpo/play action like 90% under Mariota so who knows how good the O-line/ridder/London/Pitts can be with whatever adjustments they're making. I thought ridders college tape sucked so I'm not that worried about anything besides the run game

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
