Who is the best team in our division?

All I’ve heard from the Huddle the last 8 years is that you can’t be successful without a stud QB.  If that’s the case, we are better than the other 3.  I’ll take a rookie Bryce Young all day long over Carr, who can’t connect in the red zone to save his life.  

I think what is on most minds is that rookie qbs always seem to go through some period of struggle. Maybe they hit a physical wall, going from 12 games to 17+preseason, or the expectations start to creep in, and the game is just different from the college game and it takes an adjustment period.

Hard to say in the post-Brady era. The early favorite for me would be the Saints as they have a proven defense and a solid veteran QB; they could be held back by coaching though. 

Coaching: Panthers > Falcons > Bucs & Saints

Offense: Saints > Falcons > Panthers > Bucs

QB: Saints > Panthers & Falcons > Bucs
Pass Catchers: Bucs > Saints > Falcons & Panthers
Ball Carriers: Panthers & Falcons > Bucs & Saints
O-line: Falcons > Panthers & Bucs > Saints

Defense: Saints > Panthers > Bucs > Falcons

Pass Rush: Saints > Panthers & Bucs > Falcons
Secondary: Saints & Panthers > Bucs & Falcons

Special Teams: Panthers > Bucs > Falcons & Saints

Saints until we show we can beat them.

 

We did sweep them last year. That's about as good as it gets. LOL

Id probably take a 2024 Young over Carr, but there is no way you can argue as we sit here today that Young is better now.

Roughly half of our roster has been turned over.  Its going to take some time. 

I dont necessarily like your statement but I certainly cant disagree with it as Bryce as of tonight is unproven with a great potential. Unfortunately I have a feeling second year Bryce may be very good but first year Bryce may have to get some on the job experience and confidence under his belt. Its not being negative or a knock on him at all, its just cautious optimism. I mean look at Trevor Lawrence. He looked so much better his second season and many others have as well.

Literally any team in the NFCSouth could be the best or the worst this season.

There is just no way to tell. The whole division just had the Etch-A-Sketch shake happen and it is all being drawn again new.

Agreed, so i guess im going the optimistic approach and say we will get lucky and be the best. Im not saying we will be great, im just saying we finish top in our division somehow though I feel that it will take some luck, some last minutes plays pulled out or a$$ and some balls to be tipped our way but I saw it happens for us this year. We arent winning a superbowl but we have enough in us to take this volatile and unpredictable division that nobody is going to dominate because nobody is great or a clear front runner.

The Panthers have had the Saints number even before Dennis Allen.  The real question would be how many teams outside of division can the Panthers beat?
 

I think the order will be: Panthers, saints, Falcons, Bucs .  The bucks will be a wild card this year.

Sweet! So all of us will be in the playoffs!

It's a crazy division this year. Every team has a new starting QB. Huge question marks on every roster. I don't think anyone truly knows what to expect out of this division. There's just way too many unknowns across the board and very few proven commodities.

From what I have seen so far, it appears to be the Saints. Carr may light it up over there. The Falcons are 2nd in line. Running game will be improved. Hopefully we can overtake the Bucs (if Mayfield shats the bed).

Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Bucs....

Don't see playoffs this year. The fun begins next season with a few more pieces and a year under Bryce's belt.

Wat u got?

 

Atl, NO, TB, Car. Atl a good qb away from being scary on O.

[panthers55]

Talk to me in 3 weeks and we should know what we are up against. With all the changes it is hard to predict what will happen until we meet head to head.
