Congrats to the Saints

Overall it was a well played, clean game by them. They are clearly the best team in the south right now and most likely on to the division title. Unless things change dramatically, I do not see any way the Panthers overcome this deficit given the remaining schedule and the state of the offense.

This game would be completely different if Cotchery catches that ball inside the 5 and Bersin catches his around the 30. That was at least 10 points that the offense gave away early.

 

Both catchable balls, but the Cotchery pass was high and the Bersin pass was ill timed and came behind him just as Bersin changed direction. Fault for both of those is shared with Cam and the O-Line.

As bright as the future looks for KB, it's painfully clear we put too much on a rookies shoulders his first year. We've got him out there expecting him to be our main threat and haul in tough catch after tough catch in the end zone like a veteran, and he just isn't ready for that role yet.

I had no doubt the Saints would win.  The Panthers offense is absolutely terrible right now.  The defense is playing better but can't be expected to be dominant if the offense can't keep them off the field.  Cam is playing as bad as he has in his entire career.  Is that just on the O-Line?  No.  He had lots of time to throw.  A lot to think about right now, but one thing is for sure.  The Panthers are NOT making the playoffs this year.  Pack it up.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
