The Saints had the 31st overall, 32nd ranked scoring defense. They finally woke up and fired the awful Rob Ryan, they almost literally have nowhere to go but improvement there, and they were a 7-9 team last year.
I'm not saying the Panthers will be a losing team, but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if their schedule and division are more competitive and they win 10 and miss out on the playoffs. Jets won 10 last year and missed the postseason. Eagles won 10 in 2014 and missed the postseason. It happens.
With that said, the Panthers are a solid team across the board. Likely the best front 7 that any team will field, they are still a run-first offense, and good at blocking to make it happen. Just how are they going to lose 6 games and miss the playoffs??
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
