Legitimate question for anyone who remembers: How did Lou Young do in the preseason?  I vaguely remember hearing some good things about him but IIRC, he also gave up some big plays in the preseason too, though.  Could be wrong

Would think the biggest thing about bringing in someone from the outside this late would be their familiarity with the system.  I am surprised there seems to be no interest in bringing back Melvin White.  He played reasonably well.

It's going to be very interesting... I know/hope they don't expect to stop Seattle and Arizona between the hashes with Finnegan. Especially as good as Seattle is at throwing up the seams. Maybe a lot more PT for Shaq? If he plays physical on slot receivers he could disrupt them on the line and give our pass rush plenty of time. Coleman is going to have to keep balling out of control.

We put a safety or LB on the slot receiver and Arizona/Seattle will torch us.

I wonder if Tre Boston will see more playing time with Bene out and especially of we play teams that spread their WR's out.  And Seattle definitely is doing that more it seems the last few games just like AZ.  Boston would inject some more speed and coverage ability in the secondary, even if he's not as good in run support as Harper.  Shaq may some increase- he has the speed to cover TE's in the slot and in tight to the line, but the Panthers like all teams usually put a safety on a TE out wide (of course Harper covering Graham was a disaster), so I don't know that it will be a huge increase for Shaq.

The Finnegan signing is becoming huge right now- hopefully he can play well down the stretch b/c he's going to get a lot of PT.  Still have to do something at CB.  Teddy Williams may be good as ST but I hope we're not planning to depend on him to cover Michael Floyd or John Brown.

Regardless of anything, the pass rush is going to go a long way to determining how far we go in the playoffs.  The pass rush was getting constant pressure yesterday even when we didn't get sacks.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
