Panthers are not who we tought they were

[Clawsome2]

Actually no one is. And for some reason this board along with every major broadcast (ESPN, NFL Network) and team message board assumes that there is a continuity in the NFL. That whatever was happening 8 months before the new season started is AND WILL be the norm for the new year. That was not the case 10 years ago, that is not the case today.

In countless hours of reading, watching, listening to NFL coverage, I have not seen one person claim a team lower than 4 and 12. The sad thing is that every year, nearly 6 to 10 teams have at least an equal or lower record than 4-12.

At the same time, for the past 14 years in the NFL an average of 6 teams has made the playoffs in which they didn't the year before. So to think that days or months before actual season starts, that you can pencil in a new world champion, as well as decide win-loss records based on the schedule is ridiculous.

That applies to all logic as well, 8-8 2008 Saints(5000yd QB year) becoming the 13-3 world champions is as equally as possible as the 11-5 panthers winning the NFC south or the 2-14 Panthers drafting 1st in 2010. That old QB browns Derek Anderson once had a record of 10-6 as a starter and got cut the next year, so those throwing out the 6-2 as starting QB for #3 realize that it could go either way, and I hope it goes the right way (nothing but wins).

Really no one knows what kind of team they have until late October, and no one here really can tell me with a straight face that our team is gonna rock or bomb, so with that in mind stop making stupid predictions and lets get this thing started, and hope we kick that GIANTS ass. Go Panthers

okay happy huddle?

[beckersteen]

We know what kind of team we have. Everyone knows what kind of team each team is. We are run first and play defense. But I know what your are saying we don't know our record yet. Still I predict 10-6

[Happy Panther]

This is one of 100 "predictions are useless" threads.

Yes we all agree that predictions are sometimes wrong and sometimes right. Predictions are a way of discussing and getting fired up about your team.

And while we are at it....

6-10 sorry panthers fans
