The ones that have the stuff will make it anyway.

Truth. Virtually every high pick QB ends up in a shitty situation. It's just the reality of being a high pick QB. Trey Lance got really lucky.

He just physically looked like a shadow of his former self. That was a BAD injury with not a great track record of successful athletic recovery.

Teddy had accuracy and anticipation too.

Yeah, his play is just average. I liked the signing but looks like the Broncos were right about him and that injury. But, his presence will still help with protections, etc.

The good organizations tend to have good OLs. It's not a coincidence.

The thread didn't say that. Simply stated the facts of the stats. But since you mentioned Aikman, imagine what Cam would've done behind that OL.

Considering Gettleman basically forced him out, yeah.

TC coverage has been so sparse that we hardly know how anyone is looking.

That and an MVP QB with a unique skill set who could make up for the rest of the offensive shortcomings largely single handedly... and a D that played out of their minds. I just don't see much of a chance for this crew to replicate 2015. The pieces just aren't there.

Really? Let's be honest, that's kinda seemed like most seasons throughout Panthers' history.

It was baffling leading up to the draft reading all the reports (that proved correct) that we loved Greg Little. Watching him at the Combine drills, it was like... "Wait, that's your guy? The guy with two left feet who moves like he's hungover from a three day bender? THAT guy????"

The OL struggling was predictable. Our D making their borderline NFL roster caliber backup QBs look like seasoned legit starters was not.

At one point yesterday, one QB had went 10/11 and the other QB had went 7/10. Multiple TDs. No INTs that I can recall. It wasn't pretty. Keep in mind, Indy is in a panic right now about their backup QB situation because they suck and Wentz is out with injury. We made them look good.

Let's hope for a better showing today.

Never forget, we actually went into a season with Byron Bell at LT and Nate Chandler at RT by PLAN. Not due to some forced desperation due to rash of injury.

13/19 for 87 yards? The Pats didn't needs to spend the 15th overall pick on that. They could've just sent us a 6th for Teddy Bridgewater.

Honestly, no but if you think the shirt fits...

Well hey, if that whole QB thing doesn't work out we might have a need there too.

He's just doing it to be an ass. I chuckled.

My buddy's such an asshole. I texted him to let him know about the poor showing. He just said thanks and sent this screenshot. LOL!

I've watched people every year put huge faith in an organization, coaching staff, front office, etc. like they've come to expect success. I'm a Panthers fan and I'll always HOPE for us to be good but I'm not going to act like we've been a successful organization and put my head in the sand and act like everything is fine when an objective observer can easily see some pretty critical issues.

Some of our fans act as if as long as they're irrationally positive we'll actually he good ingnoring the reality that we're coming off of three consecutive losing seasons and our first joint practice pretty much confirmed the concerns most of us already had about the roster. But, I guess go ahead and keep acting like we're the Pats or Steelers.

Yep. We're at a talent deficit on the OL. No way around it. Identify your best five guys and let them start developing into the best unit they can be. It probably won't be good but it'll be the best it can be.
