Am I the only one that wants to see more Darrin Reaves, possibly even with the first string?

The kid 5'10 220 , but can cut like he is on rails and gets low. It seemed to me the entire run game picked up a bit the moment he stepped onto the field.

 

Do the Panthers need to get a really good look at him earlier in the game to really be able to evaluate him? Would it be worth it to limit Barner carries to give him more?

 

What sayest thou, huddle?

You're not alone. I believe at this point he could be a better option that JStew ( who stays injured).

The entire running game struggled to get much going... Barner was shut down all game long and Fozzy Whittaker and Darrin Reaves had a couple decent runs, albeit late in the game... This all still points to our issues at OL and getting those big men settled in their new positions and finding a rhythm with each other..

I'm sure we will.  The Reaves v. Barner v. Whitaker preseason battle is one that's winner could definitely see playing time.

 

Reaves looks like he's got the most authority when he runs.  Decisive with his cuts as well.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
