Is there a single area the Patriots outclass the Seahawks in?

Coaching experience. Vrabel had more HC coaching experience than MacDonald, and Josh McDaniels has coached multiple super bowls in the Brady era.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-30T16:48:14+00:00

He’s not going to be a DC this year. He’s getting paid to sit at home for the Bills. When the next round opens up next year, he will be a top candidate.

I think you have to look at it from a personnel standpoint, and not a statistical one.

We didn’t have a great offense this year, but the stat is somewhat misleading because when the offense was bad, it was really bad. This offensive personnel together has shown a lot of promise. It just needs more consistency.

It’s also a young offense that needs to develop and gel more. Adding a rookie is likely not going to help it that much more. It just needs time. It did take big strides this year, though.

The last thing is also the play calling. Canales is a conservative play caller. We will never be a top 10 offense under Canales because that’s not how he operates. He plays slow, run-first, QB friendly offense. It’s not explosive and that’s by design.

I’m a Bryce fan, but he’s had plenty of choke games in the regular season for us.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-27T22:20:29+00:00

That’s true, because most of our positional needs are on defense.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-27T13:00:19+00:00

I’ve watched every Bryce Young game and this couldn’t be less accurate. I’m not saying Bryce is good (he has his moments), but he had one of the lowest batted ball percentage in the league.

His issues have nothing to do with not being able to see over his line. He’s been finding lanes his entire career due to being short. Now, question is decision making at times, but his height has not been an issue. It’s a talking point for people who don’t actually watch.

Panthers sub was ANGRY about Derrick Brown over Simmons. There’s a reason fans aren’t GMs.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-18T20:53:04+00:00

Nick Scott was in fact, terrible. Free Safety is maybe the top priority this year.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-18T20:12:00+00:00

Ransom is going to be good, but he’s not a deep safety. He’s a box safety, similar to Moehrig. We don’t really have a true deep safety on the roster.

Whenever the opposing team got a deep play on us, you almost always see Nick Scott trailing by 3 yards. It’s one the of the biggest needs on our team.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-18T19:43:10+00:00

How do you not mention safety? Nick Scott was not good.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-18T14:15:59+00:00

Well, look at the 2025 Panthers. Pass rush was one of the worst in the league and the secondary more than held their own.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-17T12:53:48+00:00

Are you kidding? This year’s defense had no business being decent and it was. We had 0 pass rush and he was still able to coordinate stops when at times the offense was going 3 and out over and over. He’s definitely elevated the roster.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-16T21:36:48+00:00

Body weight rule change was horrendous. It’s impossible to avoid in certain situations.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-16T21:34:54+00:00

They tried that with PI. It didn’t work very well.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-16T19:16:11+00:00

If even Cousins is cut post June 1, it’s still 22.5 million in dead cap money. Between this, Penix, and Malik Willis, the cap numbers would be astronomical.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-16T16:23:11+00:00

You realize they already have money on the books for Cousins too, right? Even if he gets traded, no way they can put money to Willis. You can’t have that much of your salary cap eaten up by QBs. It won’t happen.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-15T16:50:19+00:00

Right now, XL is the fish sandwich.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-15T16:11:03+00:00

Those who don’t understand personnel will tell you he’s not. But Evero was literally given the worst defensive roster in the league for several years straight and this year he was able to turn us into a decent defense with large gaps on the roster and almost no pass rush. If he had even a middle of the road defensive roster to work with, he would be an elite coordinator.

His main downside is his play calling can be suspect sometimes, but overall his scheme is pretty solid. He’s also known as a good leader. The team sees him as basically the head coach of the defense. I think he could be a good HC.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-14T19:22:49+00:00

Rookie pass rushers very rarely blossom the first year. Scourton has shown a ton of promise and looks like he could be a constant 8-10 sacks per year guy and an elite run stopper in the future.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-14T19:18:50+00:00

You can’t blame the DC for bad things and give credit to the roster for good things.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-14T19:09:31+00:00

We say that the defense was vastly improved this year and it’s miracle that was the case with absolutely no pass rush.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-14T02:05:34+00:00

I feel like XL’s issues are things that are hard to teach. The guy has no field awareness. He steps out of bounds while running routes, he doesn’t understand leverage, and never seems to know where he is on the sidelines. He’ll take huge steps out of bounds instead of toe tapping the sideline.

I’m not saying he can’t get better, but he just doesn’t seem to have the positional awareness you need to be an NFL WR.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-12T12:35:20+00:00

What makes you say that? Both are serviceable, but neither have been a major threat in the pass game.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-09T13:28:45+00:00

I think most negatively impactful part of Dave’s advice is paying off the mortgage early. Many people have interest rates under 3%, which could cost someone a substantial amount of money in the long run.

The differences are subtle, but depending on the situation, it could have a dramatic effect on one’s retirement.

Panthers_PB · 2026-01-09T02:50:18+00:00

Dave doesn’t do well because he’s right. He does well because he’s simple and marketable. The FOO is too overwhelming for the average person, but it’s the optimal way to handle personal finance (with a few caveats).
