CRA

Last time older bro Etienne had a nice game......Carolina was in town.

the smaller ones are just called baby wipes and have been around for ages.

Trevor went 14 out of 17 Bryce went 4 out of 8 Trevor had 3 drives. Scored on 2 of the 3. Zero 3 and outs. Bryce had 5 drives. Scored on 1. Four 3 and outs. I mean, if you had to pick one in terms of rolling into the season. The Jags starters had a better preseason.

Jags O is definitely the more threatening and dangerous O of the two....and the defenses are likely a push.

for one the more winnable games on the schedule, it's a bad setup for us though. We are sort of limping in. Starters showed nothing in preseason to really get any excitement/confidence for week 1. Team is sort of scrambling to get their basics in a row. Last minute AT trade, Coker injury, now Icky injury. Road game. plus side, is Jags have an equally bad defense. And Trevor Lawerence is Dr. Jeckyl and Mr Hyde. Game to game and sometimes series to series. No matter the order, Panthers need to find a way to be 3-2 through the first 5 IMO. If they aren't best case becomes a 3-6 start I would think.

worst part is, UNC/Bill PR seems to have made the Jordan nonsense go away.....and it appears that might be the most entertaining part of Bill at UNC.

I still don't think Bill wants to be coaching college football. I think Bill sort of got mini-blackballed from NFL coaching (which is dumb)...and he couldn't stomach the NFL dictating his coaching end.

every year I say it.....you can not believe NFL coaches and teams. They are not in the business of letting fans know what is actually going on behind the scenes. Yet every season you got folks treating bullshitting coaches are speaking the unquestioned gospel. They tell you what they want you to think, when they want you to think it. Canales had to give a reason why his boy Moore was selected over Renfrow. We know he isn't better. All reports in camp back Renfrow as better. His resume is better. You got outside eyeballs on every rep. So, if you are Dave....you have to bullshit up a reason to give your guy a spot. Tell me a better made up one than the one Canales gave he could of sold folks? NFL teams are in the sales job. Canales sold his decision with overstated partial truths. How many Panthers are ready for a full game in FL heat week 1? Which is why he now can just pretend like it wasn't a thing. Renfrow is a niche/roleplaying slot WR. He was good enough shape to be that. Now, you can argue w/ Coker out....he isn't ready to play both Cokers and his reps. That's starting reps.

Yeah, the recent interview in front of his locker…. if you listen, Hunter regurgitates what Canales said and does it from Canales’ perspective. Coach said, coach thought, Coach wanted. Every year I explain my position that coaches are not truthful people when it comes to explaining decisions and what is going on….they aren’t in the business of letting us know what is going on behind the scenes. Nothing ever supported what Dave was selling. He saw something apparently no one covering the team every single day saw. He kept his boy and had to have a reason to explain it at the end of the day….and saying Moore was better would not sell Hunter never had said he believed such is what I am saying. That was Dave BSing his roster decisions. What coaches do. Hunter doesn’t play OL. Odds are with his select slot work and his role….he is better prepared than our lineman for week 1.

UNC really pulled a fast one us with that start lol

LG, where is the Lopez kid from??

Thats a good point. But I was more worried about his offense. Gotta think Bill can improve a college D

Bill era off to a good start.

Much like Bryce though….not sure Hunter really fits Dave. So, just for the record it’s not me picking on Bryce with fit of scheme

How about 2 legit good games in a row? I still think his post season benching is romanticized and overstated…. I mean his turnaround was amazing. But that had more to do with how bad he was than how good he actually became.

Canales said it was a concern when he was justifying all his roster moves. Which I still say you can’t take what coaches say as the gospel when they are explaining things on a mic. Hunter said we got games coming up, so I guess we will see.

I think how good of year Hunter has boils down to Canales’ scheme and playcalling. If he just runs the stuff he did last year and asks him to run ATs routes….Hunter won’t do much

Dabo said the timeline is about 3-5 years. IMO, he has been pretty spot on about college football overall…..and IMO I think he was speaking not off a gut but just the general inside consensus. the end game is for the top of college football to essentially have their own league/division and that doesn’t just mean Clemson leaves the ACC….it means UGA, Michigan, etc all leave their conference too.

True and as a Clemson fan I’m really not living in present day college football like most. So I’m still getting a bigger slice of the way it was than your average college football fan. We still tuning in to watch year 4 of the of the guys that have been on the roster and watching the same kids year after year. to an extent, Clemson is as good as it gets as a college football fan. But that’s just today. Will it keep us from another natty? Probably, but we got about 3-5 more years of sorta watching college football as I like it. Would our odds of winning a natty be stronger if we just hired the top merc at RB for this year and whatnot? Sure. That was THE spot to fix. But I’ll just enjoy moaning about our longtime WR converted to RB and which freshman can grow into it as this, they way it is ride is almost over

Here is a trivia question….LaNorris Sellars broke a drought and was the first Gamecock quarterback to win a game in Atlanta in 48 years. Name the last Gamecock QB to win in Atlanta. here is a hint

Thats the timeline Dabo has been out there talking of. Handful of ACC team will go to whatever mega conference there is. He thinks 30-50 total teams and that will be the end of college football. Everything that made it good at least

I don’t know about yall but I sort of believe in UNC. I think new head honcho Jordan Hudson and her assistant Bill might surprise some folks

Really makes polls and judging most programs impossible early. So many teams are fielding almost uniquely new offenses and defenses from 1 year to the next.

I think they just needed a couple weeks to figure out a RB. You can’t play good SEC teams and just run the Clemson pass attack all game long. Cade sort of setup to fail there. Cade isn’t Watson or Lawerence. Miles better than DJU. Cade probably in the Taj Boyd tier for me. Both can/could really play well….it just rarely was in the big game (Cade did play well in that playoff game but outside of that he seems to panic a bit in the bigger ones) I like Sellars. I talk mad poo about the Gamecocks but that’s just for giggles. My people are Gamecocks. Family played football there too. They can win every game but 1 each year as far as I am concerned

what about the that bomb VT threw to #0 after that SC ruling. That should have been a catch? It was to the sideline and he didn’t control it to the ground….he fell out of bounds? it does get logically weird to have to control it to the ground if you aren’t out of bounds….but don’t if you are out of bounds or in the endzone. I think you either leave the rule as is or you have to say the ground can’t cause an incompletion. If given those two choices, the flawed first is better I think. whatever the rules are…teams are going to feel screwed I would think
