I love me some optimism....especially when it goes along with my pre-season prognostication of 9-7....I'm off by two so far, but I'd make some changes to the remaining games...

1 Sep 11 CAR @ ARI - W.....oops, I hate how this one played out...close/no cigar

2 Sep 18 GB @ CAR - L....closer than I thought

3 Sep 25 JAC @ CAR - W...right on

4 Oct 02 CAR @ CHI - W- Highly charged emotions for this one....and disappointing

5 Oct 09 NO @ CAR - L....again, closer than I thought

6 Oct 16 CAR @ ATL - L....dammit :mad:

7 Oct 23 WAS @ CAR - W....right on :)

8 Oct 30 MIN @ CAR - W

9 Bye

10 Nov 13 TEN @ CAR - W

11 Nov 20 CAR @ DET - L

12 Nov 27 CAR @ IND - L

13 Dec 04 CAR @ TB - L

14 Dec 11 ATL @ CAR - W

15 Dec 18 CAR @ HOU - W

16 Dec 24 TB @ CAR - W

17 Jan 01 CAR @ NO - L

9-7.....2-4 inside NFC South- No Playoffs- I probably have my Homervision glasses on....plus I picked 10-6 last year, I thought Matt Moore would pan out.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By t96 · Posted

      Check your facts, pal. Mahomes started the last game of the regular season his rookie year as the Chiefs benched their starters due to playoff position being locked in. And in that one game he showed significantly more than Bryce has shown in his entire career as a starter. Which is what my post was alluding to.   Regarding Cam: Going into 2015 he had 50/1 odds for MVP https://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/8/11/9130505/nfl-mvp-odds-released-for-2015-season But going into 2014 his odds were considerably higher as he was coming off a season where he was clearly a top 10 QB before his 2014 was hampered by injury, a bad team and a down year in terms of his play too. Going into 2014 he was 25/1, tied for 8th best MVP odds in the league. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2014-nfl-mvp-odds-peyton-manning-the-obvious-favorite/ Bryce's odds right now are about 100/1.     Again, Bryce is absolutely nowhere near the conversation or even the same stratosphere as those guys and putting any amount of money on him to win MVP would just be throwing your money away.

      All-Time Panthers Rushing - Hubbard should leap CMC & Foster this year

      By t96 · Posted

      I personally just don't see it on the field. He's had some nice plays, yeah, but overall my eye test says middle of the pick starter in the 15-17ish range. Which again, is completely fine, great for where he was drafted and the position is not a weakness for the team.   But he's not a guy who draws significant attention from the D and helps open up the passing game. Not a factor at all as a receiver. He was 15th in scrimmage yards last year (2 WRs ahead) with high usage and an average at best yards/touch. He's running behind a very good OL lately too. Hopefully he continues to improve and proves me wrong and shows those flashes of elite play more consistently but I just don't see it yet.   I like the Dowdle signing and think they will complement each other well. They are nowhere near Double Trouble. 1300+ scrimmage yards is honestly a pretty low benchmark these days and plenty of JAGs have hit it in recent years. Not saying these guys are JAGs (jury out on Dowdle) just that 1300 yards can easily be achieved by a JAG with high enough usage and in good offenses with good OLs.
