Regardless of what all you pessimists out there say, I am very optimistic about this season. Our potent offense from last year is back, with added weapons (Goodson, Kenny Moore). The O-line is the best in the NFL, our RB corps is the best in the NFL, the WR corps is solid (with the best WR in the NFL), and the QB is the best leader around.

On that topic, Jake will be fine. He can be exciting to watch and always finds his rhythm once the season starts. He and Smith will be in full stride early against the week secondary of Philly. I am not concerned, mainly because we have felt this way about Jake before (when fans wanted Weinke to start), and then went on to watch Jake play great.

I will admit that I am concerned about our defense. We in Carolina have become accustomed to a good defense. Solid defensive play has kept us in many games for years. That may not be the case this season. Luckily, the offense will be good enough to keep us in games. And we all know that Jake is very capable of pulling off late drives for victories. If the defense does show something special once they adjust to the new scheme and we get healthy, then we all may be in for a pleasant surprise.

The bottom line, this team has playmakers on both side of the ball...playmakers that can make this season exciting. I saw some good things during the preseason, and I also saw some bad. I am a realist, and know that there are many things to work out. But I also think this is a good team (same one that got us to 12-4 last season) that will get on track next Sunday. I will be at the game to watch us crush the Eagles and start our march to the playoffs.

GO PANTHERS!

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd give Bryce until the trade deadline to prove he's the answer and if he's not I'm dumping him for whatever pick we can get and I'm riding with Dalton the rest of the way.  2 and a half years is enough time to determine if he can be the QB going forward so for Bryce he needs to come out over the next couple of weeks and show that. The other players in the locker room don't wanna waste another year of their careers waiting to see if you'll ever figure it out.  If you took a poll of the players in the locker room I'm sure they'd rather lose with a respected veteran Dalton who at least gives them some creditability versus losing with Bryce who the entire media will say was let down by his supporting cast when in reality it's Bryce's physical limitations that are holding this team back.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By jbland · Posted

      I agree that he should’ve never been the pick at 1. In my 44 years I’ve never seen a team invest that much in a QB who is my size. I’m not meant for the NFL and neither is he.    Accepting we can’t change the past, I think it’s the correct call to keep playing him hoping that he will prove us wrong. I think we were dumb not to draft a QB this past year and let him learn and compete but that’s our reality.    I’m hoping this is the last year with the BY experiment and he deliverers us 1. To the playoffs or 2. The number one pick and we draft a real QB.

      In his first interview after the surgery he sounded absolutely miserable.  Man that must beat you down to have that done
