Official Panthers - Patriots Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I will be on a plane heading to Boston first thing in the morning, won't have time to post this then. As such, here is your gameday thread!

 

 

Who: Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots

 

Where: Gillette Stadium,  Foxboro, MA

 

When: Friday 7:30pm

 

The Huddle Chatroom will be online.

 

 

Follow @CarolinaHuddle for pregame tweets and tweets from the sidelines during the game.

 

 

 

Players to Watch:

 

Cam Newton - Ron Rivera has said he will play a full half. How will his ankle hold up?

Offensive Line - Chandler and Turner are out. Garry Williams and Chris Scott fill in. Expect a heavy dose of running all night long.

Reaves vs Whitaker - Which running back will claim a roster spot? I wouldn't mind the Panthers sitting Williams and Stewart the entire game, just let the young guys compete for the job.

Bene Benwikere - Bene got lead nickel snaps in practice, has Godfrey been supplanted?

 

 

I will have my usual exclusive photos and observations this weekend and on Monday.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
