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.

Ok I thought I remembered seeing something like that but didn't know if any of the media or anything mentioned him at all. Hopefully it means nothing but with him playing 5 years and college and going against our awful secondary, him disappear onto most of the time isn't the best sign.

Can anyone say how he looked in the team stuff last night?

Incomplete ras scores. Where they don't run any of the agility drills. Receivers don't need agility.

I get what they're trying to say as far as he's good at the things you can teach and not good at the things you can't, but that doesn't mean he can't improve a lot. The game clearly seemed too fast for him last year. If it slowed down, what happens if he becomes great at the things you can't teach instead of good? Realistically I don't think he can be a top 10 qb ever either, but there are definite improvements that can be made where his ceiling is a lot higher than some people think. I'm not saying he will ever reach that ceiling necessarily though.

First off I hope he ends up great. Second off I agree that he doesn't fit Bryce. Like you said he is a pretty specialized receiver with a very specific role. Everyone wants him to be a dk Metcalf which is his ceiling, but my question is what overall consistently good offense has a #1 receiver who plays this role. It's a dated role. Most of all our moves always feel dated unfortunately.

He didn't do agility drills. For a reason. The ras is incomplete.

In 4 seasons combined he had 42 catches for 423 yards and 5 tds. That's 4 seasons added together. I think it's nicer to say he wasn't on the field. A lot of players go undrafted putting those numbers up in one season.
