Who is the best team in our division?

We've been saying this for 10 years and it's not been true yet. The salary cap is a farce for them and it's time people give their GM some credit for manipulating low cap space into a decent team, year in and year out.

Carr is also a lot better than Panthers fans give him credit for.

In fairness, they had Drew Brees for most of those years.  That compensated for a lot of the issues.  And I do think it was true last year. They were not a decent team. But the rest of the division was so bad that no one noticed.

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.

Falcons.

I will never trust Dennis Allen with my life. It overjoys me that we get two free wins because of that atrocious bum. 

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.

This is what I like to hear!

 

Belief that we can win this division.

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 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

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

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.

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.
