Panthers game Thursday night! Yes, it is only preseason. But I know for a fact that most of you would have gnawed off your right arm for a chance to watch a preseason game during the first week in July. 

That said... expectations for the game? How many series will the first string play? 

Are you hoping for a heavy dose of CAP and Wegher? Rivera has said he only wants Stewart to "break a sweat". Those two young guys may see a lot of action.

I'll be surprised if the starters play for more than 2 series. I'm gonna be watching Butler mostly. I want to see him get as many reps as he can handle. 

Sounds right. 

 

Although last year didn't they keep the first string offense in until they had a decent series? Seems like it.

Yeah, I think you may be right. Hopefully, they will drive down and score on the first possession and send in the back ups this time.

Yes it's preseason, but I am stoked!

I see the first stringers only playing about 3 series.  Cap might play the entire first half, followed by Wegher playing most of the second.  Fozzy will get very limited reps to give those guys a breather.

i am most excited to see guys like Cash, Sandland, Simonson, Byrd, and Hill.  Also hope to see flashes out of the new secondary as well as Delaire, Miley, etc.. Either way, I'm excited that Panthers football is back!!!

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
