Friday night huge test for Kelvin and WR core


Recommended Posts

The 3rd preseason game tends to be teams dress rehearsal. I for one am actually happy it's against the Pats. Kelvin will get the chance to go up against 2 top corners in Reavis and Browner. I feel this is huge from an experience factor and will serve as an early measuring stick. Say what you want about Reavis, he may not be Reavis island of old but he's still one of the better corners in the league and Browner is no slouch. I'm glad KB13 gets this trial by fire now when it doesn't count. I will be interested to see how the pats play him, man up or double him over the top and how our other WR's respond and step up if he is doubled. I think this is the perfect game at the perfect time! It can't come sooner!

FYI: Rivera said he was treating the Chiefs game as the 'dress rehearsal' game.

But yeah, it'll be interesting.

I was thinking more from the pats perspective, we should see more of what we would see if it were a regular season game. I feel with the lack of rhythm established with cam and the wr core this should also be treated as close to a regular season game as possible

I can see that.

 

Plus, their video crew needs practice.

Preseason or not, I want to see Kraken plant Brady several feet into the Gillette turf.

 

But to the OP's point, yes KB will get tested.  First road game, crowd noise, etc.  Let's hope he can keep his cool even if he gets shut down to a degree.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
