Just wanted to give the man-child a shoutout, 'cause he showed out last night. He's already busting through double teams at runs and screens aimed at targeting his side of the field. 

 

Love the way he swarms and I swear he's bigger, faster and stronger than both Luke and TD. Didn't get to see him much in coverage as it was our CBs being targeted diwnfield. 

 

There aren't going to be many rushers making it past that second level and I believe Shaqu was a big part of Luke getting 3 tackles for loss or no gain.

The youngster has tree trunks for arms and legs, he's a physical specimen and an oddity (I say that in a good way.) unbelievable he covers so well. 

 

His is physicality adds so much to an already physically imposing front 7. The guy can pass rush as an outside DE, cover, attack the ball on the line and attacks the ball carrier or takes out lead blockers at the LOS.

I thought he played great especially when he is attacking. I did notice on two runs, he seemed to be waiting for the RB and then whiffed on two tackles. I am not nitpicking just noticing where he can improve. I think he will be a great addition for us. 

yeah, he gets jukes sometimes, but it's usually at the line and our safeties are doing a great job of swarming when a rusher gets past that initial push.

TD was the hardest hitter I've ever seen play for the Panthers. In his prime he hit someone so hard one night I thought he was dead. He had to go to the ER. I think it was a special teams play, but it's been a long time. TD would almost murder players. He doesn't hit like that now, but in his prime good lord. Shaq doesn't hit like that, but I love his violent tackles as well.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
