The Athletics take going into TC, pretty straight and to the point

 

32. Carolina Panthers

Last season: 2-15, missed playoffs

Maybe the Panthers really, really wanted Dave Canales as their head coach. Or, maybe more high-profile candidates were scared off by the combination of owner David Tepper and quarterback Bryce Young. Canales had a nice year as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator in 2023, but it was his only season as a coordinator. If he can reverse Young’s career track, none of that will matter. The former Alabama quarterback’s 5.5 yards per attempt in his rookie season were the fewest for any quarterback in the last eight seasons.

They are saying the Falcons take the division at 9-8. We are 4 games behind everyone else in the division…and yet that would be improvement for us compared to last year…sad

I hope we pull a few more out and really improve- something like 7-10 would be pretty big for this team.

Only ones I really disagree with:

  • No way Jets are going 12-5. 10-7 MAYBE. That division will be a game or two difference between Miami, NYJ, and Buffalo. 
  • Chiefs will have a down year; despite down year they still probably win the division but not 13-4.
  • Saints will implode this year and will be worse than us. The division will go to Tampa again because Atlanta is way to hyped up. 
  • Colts aren't winning their division, probably going to finish 3rd or 4th. I think they actually got worse this offseason. 

I think Green Bay and LAR will be the last two standing in the NFC. Green Bay was one of the hottest teams at the end last year and I think LAR is going to make one last all-in run with Stafford.

AFC is anybody's guess.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      MLB in Durham?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
