It's so funny how most of the people claiming they didn't watch it or only watched a small part are commenting the most about how they feel about the game. I thought it was fairly positive. Much better than the first game. No big offensive explosion but what do you expect with Plummer who looked bad in college and some oline players who signed to the team in the past couple days.

I honestly had no idea there were spreads on preseason games lol.

We even traded up for him I think? Maybe I'm misremembering. But yea I remember we even made that "mountaineer package" where it was basically just wildcat with him at qb.

Rookie mistakes? You know you can't talk that way here. There were a bunch of people saying he should be fired in the first preseason game thread lol

Vegas heard about that joint practice.

He came back out and seemed ok for the most part I think. I get the feeling that it's not carted off this year in the way it used to be. Used to it meant a major injury. Now it seems like they take everyone in the cart to get checked out for any injury even if very minor.

Hot take So are the ones hijacking a practice thread where he had a really good day to talk about him being bad or to complain about people saying he looked good.

Hot take Dawgs is just a buzz word that Morgan uses to refer to players that would have been great in his playing days but don't really work in the modern nfl.

Or our offense is just really bad. Hence why some preseason game action is helpful.

Johnson is going to have 150 catches for 750 yards and 2 tds

I don't think that's what's causing the mistakes though. If you're doing everything you can to build around Young then you don't draft XL. They don't fit together at all and there were so many WR available that would fit much better with Young's strengths and weaknesses.

I don't blame Dan at all for the Burns situation. My biggest concerns for Dan that are entirely on him so far is the draft and personnel decisions feel exactly like fitterer. Maybe that said these players will pan out but we will see. I juat don't see the vision. I hate taking old "raw" players anyways and then the players themselves don't seem to fit any vision or scheme. It all just feels like a hodgepodge of different players thrown together that don't fit together.

I loved Dan as a player and think he's a really good dude. That being said I've never been sold on him as a gm. He always entirely got a pass on Fitterers decisions while he was the worst gm in the NFL, and he's always seemed dated as far as approach, schemes, and personnel. Since he has taken over all he has done is further those worries. Everything feels exactly like it did with Fitterer, and dated. Especially draft picks. I also don't understand the Panthers as a whole and their fascination with becoming the Seahawks of the 2010s. A system that doesn't work anymore, even for the seahawks. Heck we got the better of them before that era was over even.

Sanders doesn't even stand out in a weak qb class, plus he's nowhere near as good as his dad thinks and he wouldn't let him come here anyways. I would keep an eye on Conner Weigman from tx a&m to be a big riser this season.

I really can't believe the people who are judging the new coach and wanting to bring in a guy still on the streets after literally 1 preseason game.

I guess XL's camp report falls in to the rare 10%.

Toe-to-toe.... with ISM on the depth chart for wr #5

Yea I feel like if you're still raw after 5 years of college ball, then maybe that's just who you are.

He clearly wants to win, he clearly will spend money. Literally he just needs to learn from his experience and step back. Those are the 2 things he needs to work on. Most of the rest of the blind hatred is unsubstantiated claims to convince ourselves he's bad. Has he been bad so far? Yep. Could he always be bad? Definitely. But 2 of the main positives I can think about in an owner are strong desire to win and willing to open the checkbook, so that's a start.

Only scary thing is how much is Clowney and how much is our garbage pass protection. We will find out soon I guess.

You think it doesn't have an impact?

The Panthers are chasing 1999. In 99 running backs were very important.

I really don't know that Bryce will be the guy but you taking a snapshot of where is open right before he catches it instead of where he was open when Bryce was actually releasing it tells that you're just looking to hate. He wasn't that open when Bryce was releasing it. Bryce made sure to throw it where only his guy could catch it and he did. I'm definitely not sold on Bryce but I'm not bias enough to spin everything to fit my perspective.

I think Dave gets at least 2 years. Dan I'm not so sure about.
