Not a great day for the Panthers offense.

Not worried in the slightest. This could last all training camp and I wouldn't worry. Our defense is top notch and there is no gameplan. Not to mention it's as hot as the Devil's dick out there and Cam has ALWAYS been rusty in training camp and into a good part of the preseason. I'm just excited as hell that the defense (mainly Shaq) is balling out there.

Im perfectly fine with our offense struggling in camp. Every year for almost every team. Camp is a struggle on offense combine that with our offense going against the best defense in the NFL and I'd say that our offense is actually ahead of other team's offenses currently. Drops and INTs can be fixed with chemistry and relearning the system (remember also that our offense has a new snap count and different calls for audibles.) Our offense is fine. As long as it gets into motor by week 2 of the preseason

Also I would rather have our offense struggling in the early stages of camp instead of our defense

Thanks for the update Jeremy.  I'm not too worried.  Knocking off the rust.  Changing offense codes.  If they get the drops and miscues over with now, we should be good for the season.

Still expecting an explosive season on offense with KB back....  Plus:

Just saw this tweet from Kelli Storey.  I think Funchess' development will be a big story this year.

 

 

And cam is not a slow man.

This was noted last year in an All-Pro thread (read: before Igo went all Univ. of Phoenix journalism degree on us).  Once the regular season started up and the defense showed out, it was obvious why training camp went the way it did.  Add to the fact that the defense got it's ass chewed out recently, so I bet they're bringing the focus.  Offense's turn to punch back.

Is the D line getting to the QB?The offensive line pushing them back isn't a great sign either.

The pass rush has to be ON or else 

Remember neither CJ or Ealy were practicing today.

Sounds like some of the 2nd string DEs had good days though:

The talent along the defensive front goes deeper still, with tackle Chas Alecxihicon-article-link.gif and end Rakim Coxicon-article-link.gif putting some serious pressure on quarterback Derek Andersonicon-article-link.gif on back-to-back snaps.

Gonna be real with you guys the D really wasn't as good as we say it was last year. First couple of games were hell they couldn't stop anybody

Luke was out for all but the first half of our 1st 4 games.  I think that had some impact! 

Plus Star was injured..., CJ battling injury.  Shaq having missed a lot of reps due to OTA injury and having to finish school.

No surprise that they weren't as strong early in the season.

The proof is in the preseason. Coach said he's worried about it and I am too.

Everybody here knows what I'm thinking so I'm just gonna sit back and watch these guys.

Elite pass rush with this offense means SB. You can't give Drew Brees ANY time at all. You want him making career decisions, not figuring out how to burn the rookies deep.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
