I could use less of Steve Smith's opinion in my life.

The play calling on the last drive was atrocious. Not one screen or short pass to slow down the pass rush. XL should not have been in the game and he seemed to be going through the motions.

He needs to improve his progressions and not look to run every time his primary target is covered. If he does, Sellers could be the number 1 overall pick. If he doesn't, then he'll be a later round flier and the NFL is littered with running QBs that are so so at passing.

It is just week 1. CJ Stroud also looked bad. Let's give Bryce a couple games before the pitch forks come out. Canales is to blame for the team looking flat again to start the year. The play calling is atrocious and why this team continues to try to run when the run isn't working, is baffling.

That was a mature interview. After a poor game all around, the last thing players want to do is take questions from the media.

If Hunt and Lewis play, the OL will be fine because Christensen is more than capable at fill in duties at LT.

This place is overly harsh on XL. The kid was a development WR and had a train wreck of a QB situation for half of the year and a coaching staff was learning as well. Let's wait until the middle of the season this year to see if XL deserves criticism or not.

Panthers are going to run the ball like crazy against the Jags. Hopefully the starting OL can play.

Not good for any professional athlete and especially one that isn't freakishly gifted like a lot of first round picks.

Cam needs to engage whoever Smitty hired years ago to help him with public speaking. Smitty use to struggle to find the correct word and is public speaking has improved tremendously. Cam seems to always struggle to find the correct word and this makes it tough to listen to.

I hope Renfrew comes back, but I doubt he does unless he doesn't have other offers. Kind of seems bush league to cut a guy and then try to get him back, but this is the Panthers. I suspect Renfrew isn't as great as us fans think because the people that watch him every day thought he was the 8th best WR on this team.

Panthers fleeced the Vikings in this trade and they need to get Renfrew back asap.

I never understood why the Panthers brought Renfrew in because he's basically a Thielen type receiver and not as good.

It would be so Panther's like to trade Bryce's favorite target for a 5th round pick so they can keep a 6th round WR (Horn).

The reality is Horn likely would not get poached if he goes to the practice squad. Late round pick that hasn't done anything in the preseason. Granted, he had Jake Plummer throwing him the ball, but nothing on his tape stands out.

I don't think they keep 7 WRs and I suspect Moore and Tremayne to PS. If we lose either of these guys to another team, I'm not losing sleep because the NFL has tons of WRs like this. As always, us fans over value our players and this team is yet to score a TD so I doubt anyone is eyeing our fringe WRs.

XL is going to have a big year and getting open has never been an issue. TMac is going to garner a lot of attention and XL (or Coker) are going to benefit.

As I said before, I'll reserve judgment until week 1. However, if the Panthers come out flat yet again, this regime has to start taking preseason more serious. This teams acts like they are the Eagles or Chiefs in preseason and they don't have the track record or talent to act this way.

Team just looked flat all around. Lewis and Horn not playing is a big deal. I’m going to reserve judgement until week 1 and I just don’t see how this team isn’t better than last year.

There is no way to fix this defense in one season. Just having Brown back healthy is a huge and I mean huge difference. Let’s hope guys stay healthy because last year the panthers were basically pulling guys off the street and asking them to start.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Almost a 1/3 of the NFL had the same or worse record than the Panthers last year they now have the worst roster while having one of the best defenders in the league back? The Panthers certainly haven't earned anything, but anyone with half a brain that watches football could see what was happening with this franchise in the 2nd half of the season. This team is going to be competitive this year and like every NFL season, a couple plays will dictate whether they have 9 wins or 6 wins.

He was raw out of college and he looked raw last year. The talent is there and if folks don't see that then they are just looking to hate. He needs to polish his game to remain a starter and I'm pulling for him because he is so likeable.

They are keeping 6 and the 6th spot will be Renfrew or Moore. Renfrew needs to stay healthy.

No idea why XL gets so much hate here. Most WRs don't excel until their 3rd year unless they are a phenom and phenoms don't get drafted at the end of the 1st round.

Scott looked awful, but let's give him another preseason game. Ransom might be starting earlier in the season than expected.
