Cams subsequent celebration caused a bit of a stir on the field.

Bene is a shell. Looks like Godfrey post injury.

Meh, Funchess had the better play(s) today. He burned our secondary to hell.

I believe the bigger point to take from all of this is how poorly the secondary is doing to make the receivers look like pro bowlers from KB to Byrd.

...this D is going up against the  best in the league...its only going to make them that much better...

The receivers look like the best in the league because they are going up against the worst secondary in the league. Getting beat by receivers that have no shot at most NFL rosters is not good.

Imagine what will happen when this secondary faces the Packers, Seahawks, or Cardinals if they are being destroyed by KB, Funchess, Ginn, Bersin, Brown, and Byrd. The match up with the Broncos receivers is concerning regardless of their QB the way this secondary keeps playing.

I also am concerned that the receivers will not be ready for the tougher competition they will face this season due to the weakness of the secondary they are practicing against. McClain is the best competition the Panthers have at CB. That is a red flag.

I guess the Panthers will have to learn the hard way during the season before they address this with some CB acquisitions if the front office wants to compete for a championship this year.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
