Three two one. Oh my goodness good morning good afternoon. Whatever it is for you I hope you're having a fantastic day my

name is Zach Schomler. This is Strong Opinion Sports episode

449. Welcome in. Today is a fun show, it's Predictions Versus Reality. We'll do Ask Zach and then we will end with a weekend

preview. I actually recorded that earlier. I wore the same shirt and try to like have some kind of

continuity but there will be a weird cut where I'm like all right we're going to go to the

weekend preview and it's going to be like awkward like transition and you'll see me just go

blip and then suddenly you'll hear me talk about the Bengals and gosh the Titans and whatever's going to happen this weekend

it's going to be an awesome weekend of football I cannot wait let's jump into

topic number one today I predicted that the Carolina Panthers would go 7 and 10 this past year and I was really really

hopeful about the Carolina Panthers.

The Panthers traded a second round pick for quarterback, Sam Donald, he had been, I think I said,

humbled to oblivion by the New York Jets previously and I thought going to

Carolina was the restart to his career that he needed.

And I really believe that pairing him with Jill Brady,

the young upstart offensive coordinator,

the guy who I thought should deserve credit for making Joe Burrow into a

Heisman Trophy winning quarterback at LSU. I thought Joe Brady and Sam

Donald together would be awesome and Sam would prove himself to be a franchise

quarterback in Carolina.

I literally said, my prediction is that at the end of the year, everyone will feel confident

in him and happy they have Sam on their football team.

Do you feel that way?
