Found this quote on espn.com today to even out the downgrade quote earlier.

I have no idea who this person is or what an "andscape" is but he likes young id say.

Jason Reid, senior Andscape writer: Bryce Young is embarking on a career that will one day culminate with his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Some guys just have it, and Young is one of those guys.

guys…has a first year coach and rookie qb ever won a division? Let alone go on a deep playoff run like so many here suggest? Like ever? I can’t think of a time.

why do we need ‘haters, doubters, disrespect? must be a generation thing and it’s weird tbh, I was always taught respect is earned when I played ball

objectively speaking the Saints should have this division pretty easily. For now. The panthers will have their turn but be realistic. It’s in a couple years

I listen and read a lot of the national media and it baffles me how many of them are jumping on the Falcons bandwagon to win the NFCS.  Some even think Panthers “take a step back” this year. 

I am so glad they’re underestimating this roster and coaching staff, and they’re disrespecting Bryce as the #1 pick.  

So weird how the during the pre-draft Young was the media darling. Now the switch has flipped and all of a sudden he isn’t any longer.

I have only heard 1 person say they think ATL has a chance to win the NCFS; I’ve heard several national folks say they wouldn’t be surprised if the Panthers do. Most think it’ll be the Saints because Carr is the best QB in the South, but the Panthers get much more love from national media than the Falcons.

However, not everyone is riding high on the Panthers' hype train. ESPN's Doug Kezirian doesn't even see Carolina eclipsing its win total from a year ago.

 "Under 7.5 wins.I am a Frank Reich believer, but what else is there to like? I think Carolina downgrades at quarterback with an undersized Bryce Young. Even in a weak division, the Panthers could compete for the league's worst record."

 

[ SCHUYLER CALLIHAN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED CAROLINA PANTHERS NEWS]      A downgrade at quarterback? From PJ Walker and Sam Darnold? Well, uh, that's quite the take. I'm not a gambling expert such as Kezirian, but I have Carolina winning ten games. In addition to an incredibly weak division, the Panthers also have games against the Texans, Colts, Bears, and Titans. It's a very favorable schedule. Sure, they may finish 8-9 or 9-8 but 7-10 or worse just doesn't seem possible unless there's a laundry list of injuries.

For the most part, the national media latches onto certain teams.

That's because they all plagiarize from one another instead of doing research. All it takes is on "respectable" source to say something and they all regurgitate it.

      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.
