What are your thoughts on talent level, team to team?

Don't really care about the other teams, I only focus on my team the CAROLINA PANTHERS.

 

A+++ contribution to the thread, would read again

I think analysts are full of crap. Across the league the talent level of teams is a lot closer than people think. But for the NFC south I think the Panthers are about the most balanced team, talent wise in the division. Atlanta has a lot of offensive fire power but I don't think Tony G is better than Greg Olsen at this point. People just like to slob his knob. Defensively Atlanta isn't that scary. Tampa Bay is also very balanced and on paper they should be a good football team but they live and die by Freeman.

 

I think the Saints are a total joke of a roster and ESPN keeps hyping up of Peyton like he is the answer to all their problems. I think their offense is also very misleading. They put up a ton of stats but when it comes to crunch time they are as vulnerable as any other team. Brees also succumbs to pressure a lot and makes stupid decisions sometimes. More so than the other guys that are frequently discussed as top QB's.

 

We still have the best RB core in the game, bar none. They didn't suddenly suck for no reason. It's just difficult to provide them the ball when you have a guy like Cam, a versatile FB like Tolbert and an idiot of coordinator like Chud.

 

This. All of it. I really try not to pay attention to what analysts say because their bosses basically just tell them to say whatever helps the ratings, even if it's totally wrong.

Depth is where the real difference is. You're going to lose some guys guaranteed, so it matters who can fill the position.

The level of experience is also going to be a major factor. Cam and our new DTs are a work in progress, whereas our NFCS rivals have QBs who are playing as well as they're ever going to play. They've maxed out, and our guy is still learning, so we've countered by loading up our d-line to generate pressure, and hopefully level the playing field.

And please could we have a season where we don't lose multiple players to season ending injuries before for we get out of October.
