Thought it would be a good idea to make this thread again for tonight's game. 

Who Impressed:

-Cam Newton: The guy was on point today. Couple overthrows sure, but you can't blame for the absurd amount of drops tonight. 

-OLine: Once again, giving Cam plenty time to throw. However once Folkerts got injured, the line broke down. Look forward to Kalil coming back.

-1st Team D: I mean wow, we shut Brady down for the 1st half and really looked like a cohesive unit. Even with Star, KK, and CJ out.

-Shaq Thompson: Had some rookie moments but overall had a good game. Seemed to be around the ball a lot. Looking like a great pick so far.

-Kurt Coleman: Awesome pick in the 1st

-Charles Tillman: Peanut forcing turnovers. Hope to hear good news about his head injury.

-Cameron Artis-Payne: I really like the way this guy plays. Excited to see more. (This one was for you @tiger7_88

-Joe Webb: Guy looked like Cam Jr. out there tonight, awesome runs out there.

-Ted Ginn: Just glad I no longer have to worry about punt returns anymore.

-Graham Gano: Has performed well all of preseason. Keep it up.

-Edit: Kony Ealy: Had a nice sack today, good pressure on the QB. Really stepping up his game

Who Depressed:

-Corey Brown: Pretty obvious choice. Hard not to feel a little bad for the guy though. 

-2nd/3rd String OLine: Not a lot of time for Webb or Anderson. Not a big deal, but crazy that some of these guys were competing for starting positions last year. 

-Hands/Catching: Whether it was Brown, Olsen(surprising), Josh Norman, or Bene Benwikere, we just could not seem to hold onto the ball tonight. We hold onto the ball in just a few of those scenarios and this game is a blow out. Easily.

-Panthers fans: Kinda bummed out that I could hear Pats fans cheering and booing towards the end of the game. 

 

Let me know if I missed anyone.

Im impressed, we totally shut down the defending champs, couldnt ask for more. We will be a top 3 D/ The offense still worries but I believe it will come around. I just wonder how long it will take though. We need a strong start to the season.

Yeah first string D really did look great. I think the offense will find its groove soon

Driving home, they were interviewing norman on the radio and he said he got way too excited cuz Janine Garofalo threw the ball right to him..  He said it felt like it took a minute and a half to get to him haha. 

I was impressedwith what I saw tonight.  Besides the drops, the defense played well and the offense moved the ball pretty well

Really, really impressed with our defense. Shut down the reigning Superbowl champs without 3/5 best players. Shaq looks like a beast, I have a feeling we see him in the endzone this year. 

Our WRs, outside of Corey, actually didn't look too bad. Our best starting O-lineman was out and Cam had good time for the most part. 

I think we win the division, but man I'd feel a lot better with KB.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
