Positives from yesterdays game

Just trying to brighten up another bleak ( weather and Panther wise ) Monday.

K Benjamin continues to impress me. What were your game positives?

Seriously the fact that we only gave up a game to the Bucs in the standings is a huge positive. I feel like it was just another game this team can learn from and hopefully make some changes without really losing much else. Sure it's a missed opportunity but this team isn't as good as many think, DG and company need to wake up. Can't keep going forward with this OL.

Another would be Cam's pocket passing. Cam is as good as anyone when given the appropriate amount of time. His throw to Cotchery along the sidelines was perfect.

the passing game looks very promising. blocking just needs to be more consistent and it needs to be utlized more and they need to speed up the pace to help them get into more of a rhythm and make it harder for defenses to adjust.

i think that will also open up the run game as well. spread out and stress the defense through the air and they won't be stacking the box.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
