That last exhibition is one in which Fox plays starters sparingly (last season, in fact, they didn't play at all against the Steelers in the final exhibition). Receiver strongSteve Smith/strong, linebacker strongThomas /strongstrongDavis /strongand running back strongJonathan Stewart /stronghaven't played in the first two exhibitions. Fox wouldn't say whether they would play today. Stewart, who hasn't practiced in more than two weeks because of a sore Achilles, is a virtual certainty not to play against the Ravens./pp/span class=icon icon-bullet/spanThat said, this is the game ndash; the Panthers' third exhibition ndash; that starters get most of their playing time in the preseason. Watch for them to play into the third quarter./pp/span class=icon icon-bullet/spanIt's another tough preseason test for the Panthers.

      I will absolutely lose my sh!t if this happens.  Arch and Moore go in the top 5. Mestemaker goes #8.  In this mock we have a chance at QB4 in what some are calling a generational QB draft and they have us taking a freaking DT at #10.  Sayin, Carr, Mensah and Sellers are ALL still available.

      I thought about this schedule, and it is brutal. That said most of the games we played against caliber teams we either won or were in the game, minus the New England game. We'll have a much-improved defense and if we can somehow get Brazzell incorporated into the offense and one of our TE step up we might have a nice offense. So, I say we should be in most of these games.  Predicting the outcome of these games so soon after the draft before we even have OTA is just guessing so I won't predict.

      Same here, and I've been one of the biggest anti Bryce people on here. Now, even then, I won't want us to make him a Top 5 paid QB, I'd like to see it still be a deal in that 10-15 range of highest paid QB's and/or have it just be a 2 or 3 year deal.  But if he puts up a season like that, he'll have earned the extension and right to be our QB moving forward. I don't think he'll have a season like that as I don't think he's good enough, but as I've said every year for the last 3 years and now the 4th straight year... Even though I don't think he's that good or can do that, I desperately want to be proven wrong, because Bryce turning into the player the team thought they were getting him after that trade, is still our fastest path to contention than needing to replace QB again.
