Does anybody remember last year ~ Week 1

Everybody was expecting the chargers to be elite instead of stumbiling through the season the way they did early on.

I certainly wasn't expecting to put up 150 rushing yards on them. That's really what suprised me. Even though it was early that confirmed the gaudy preseason numbers we had.

This year all I'm scared of is Andy Reid, he gets his teams ready for the season. They'll destroy us if we don't bring our A+ game.

If we're firing on all cylinders we should win, the eagles have been delt worse cards than we have in the offseason. We should be able to pull it out.

I thought we where a much more confident, unified team at the beginning of last season. Seriously thought we would win that game even though the typically Panther ignorant media didn't. But! I have my homerism in full effect for this week 1 too!

The hunger and the way we ended the previous year unified our young team. I KNEW in training camp last year we was going to do something. I KNEW we was going to win in week 1. Last year all the games we coulda lost, but hung on or fought back showed the confidence in our players. Too bad the things that needed to be fixed, never got fixed

This year its a little different. Too many injuries and not being on the same page because of that. One thing I can say is that atleast our D got whooped in preseason because it made them realize they have to get better and play harder come season time. Maybe it put some things in perspective for our coaching staff. We may start off slow, hopefully we then pick it up

this is a great question because I had no real bead on the upcoming season.

DeA's first full season as THE guy. Rookie tackle with Otah. Wharton coming back from injury.

Moose coming back. Stewart a rookie.

SD was loaded minus Merriman?

Oh and some dude named Steve Smith was OUT after some camp drama.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
