Johnny Manziel....

Watched the Cleveland game from Sunday.

Yes, Manziel looked bad. But....

His team let him down in the first quarter. Manziel actually looked decent, made some nice throws that were dropped on key third downs.

By the second quarter it was 17-0. I don't care who the rookie QB is, if he is down 17-0 it wont be pretty. The defenses will pin their ears back and take more chances.

In short, he had a very bad game, but it was exacerbated by a bad Browns first quarter all around.

If the Panthers can't score TDs early, this will be a close game.

Yep...Johnny played bad but he was pretty much set up to fail by his team too.

We let freaking sucks ass Martin run on us....so Clev should fair better at providing Johnny with some form of a run game to play off of.

Also we tend to get blasted by 3-4 defenses and have been living the good life vs piss poor 4-3 defenses of late.

It seems we always play better when we start quickly. Plus, getting Manziel and the Browns offense down early, will  give us a chance to pressure him and gamble more on defense.

Panthers have a history of making rookies and backups look like HOFers... if you're taking the Browns lightly then you haven't been paying attn.

facing a 3-4 after catching several bad 4-3 defenses is by far my biggest worry

At least this 3-4 has one of the worst run defenses in the league.  If Stewart can go ham, we just need to stay ahead of them and control the clock.  Just can't get burnt by Gordon or let the shrimp-douche make a big run.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
