Which Player Will Have The Most Impact Tonight?

So, since kickoff is mere hours away, I thought it'd be fun to predict who'd have the most impact on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. Here's my predictions, and feel free to add anyone you think will do good as well!

 

Offense: RB J-Stew

The fact it's game 1 and Stewart is healthy is real appealing. Notice how we had nearly no run-game once Stewart was injured. His powerful and tough runs help bring forward the chains. Adding a healthy J-Stew adds a whole new dimension to our offense we couldn't have the whole superbowl. I believe he'll make known the missing presence of Malik and Trevathan on the Broncos D.

 

Defense: DE Kony Ealy

I just like this kid. He's been improving steadily and carefully. I think he'll have a big game against the Broncos, and take advantage of Okung. He's shown his flashes in the Superbowl, being the probably Superbowl MVP had the Panthers won, and I wouldn't be surprised to see such a performance again. He'll be key to racking up a possible 2 sacks that game, and stopping Siemian from making plays. I just feel he's the most poised to make an impact.

 

Special Teams: P Andy Lee

Seriously, I was probably the most hyped up about a punter last week's preseason. I honestly hoped the Panthers would just go 3 and out on every drive just to see him punt. I saw something I've rarely seen at punter lately, and that's a good punt. Not one of those punts that goes 80 yards down the field while your coverage is only halfway there, but the kind that goes up high in the air and lands beautifully in an area thats decently deep, but your coverage is all over them. I believe he will he key for our defense in order to have a breakout D performance. Broncos have a punting issue from what I hear. We are set. Field position was against us last game, this year, we should have the clear advantage. 

 

Lee for MVP.

Going to go with that 2015 draft class

Offense:  Funchess-  taking his play to the next level and playing with a chip on his shoulder.  Should have less attention with KB out there.

 

Defense: Shaq-  think this is going to be his coming out party.  Now that the game has slowed down for him playing beside those other 2 guys.  His versatility is going to be bad news for a Brand new QB who has never thrown a pass.  Would not be shocked to see him end up with a sack and a int

I'll give my predictions:

Offense - Devin Funchess is going to have 6 catches, 100+ yards and a touchdown.

Defense - Kawann Short wants an extension and is going to tear through the line. Two sacks and a forced fumble.

Final: 23-10, Panthers win.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix has only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.

      BREAKING: Panthers make “meh”ssive changes to front office

      It's a fine balance. You need elements of both.

      The Canes physically dominated 2 of the top 16 teams in the league this calendar month. If you truly believe Florida is just that much more physical than us, then what does that say about the rest of the league? Why didn't they go 82-0 this year, if they are orders of magnitude better than every other team?
