Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Around the Felt, Colin and Reagan go head-to-head on their Carolina Panthers 2025 season predictions. Reagan, a self-proclaimed closeted Panthers fan, is all-in on the Bryce Young–Dave Canales duo, projecting a division title at 10-7. Colin is far less bullish, pegging them at 7-10 despite acknowledging improvement. The guys debate roster strengths, schedule advantages, and where Carolina stacks up against the Buccaneers. They break down key additions like T. McMillan and Nick Scorton, the return of Derrick Brown, and whether Bryce Young can take the leap. Plus — MVP picks, X-factors, rookie standouts, and fantasy football targets from the Panthers roster.#NFL #NFL2025 #CarolinaPanthers #PanthersNation #KeepPounding #BryceYoung #NFLPlayoffs #NFCSouth #NFLPredictions #NFLPodcast #FantasyFootball #NFLNews #Panthers2025 #FootballTalk #SportsPodcast0:00 – Intro & Carolina Panthers 2025 setup0:33 – Reagan’s Panthers optimism & division-winning prediction1:37 – Key offseason additions & losses2:55 – Offensive breakdown: Bryce Young, WR room, RB depth4:45 – Colin’s cautious 7-10 projection & concerns6:30 – Panthers’ 2024 defensive struggles & Derrick Brown’s importance8:10 – Position group comparison: Panthers vs. Buccaneers10:58 – Impact of an easier 2025 schedule12:06 – Panthers MVP picks14:44 – Defensive anchor & decoy player discussion15:04 – X-factor selections17:16 – Rookie of the year candidates18:14 – Why Bryce Young is the ultimate X-factor19:04 – Coaching hot seat implications19:44 – Panthers fantasy football targets22:00 – Value of Chuba Hubbard in drafts23:16 – T.
