I can see the offense really start to jell over the course of the year and see good things down the road.  All the money and focus has been about an "elite" defense....we got burned a lot and kind of easily.

I'm worried about the whole team. A shadow of 2015. Sad.

This. What is there not to be concerned about after today's game? 

But we are 2-1, the 2015 season is rarity for most teams.  Still worried about the D holding up all season.  I have more confidence in the O simply because of all the adjustment and newness at this point.  That offense is going to tough to deal with in a few weeks once Cam starts to smooth out a bit, they made better investments.    I'm just concerned about that Dfence....something seems off.

With very few exceptions, Sean Payton and Drew Brees have always kicked our D’s ass

lol, you are right and why I wasn't worrying about winning this one.  Everyone is having a fit over rusty Cam.  Not worried one bit, he just finished preseason...seems he and CMC are getting it together...if that dude doesn't get hurt, that offense is going to be potent in a few weeks. Shula actually had some creativity, I like what they are starting to do.

Yep, 2-1 against teams that will likely finish the year with losing records.

Brees kicked the 15 team's ass too.  Kuechly said something along the lines of "drew brees happened" when he was asked what happened to the D.   Of course the O was just good enough to win a shootout that year....so no, not worried about the D.  Perhaps some fans got a little too excited about this D after they played hoyer and Taylor?

    • I think a premier ILB in the Panther's tradition (Beason, Mills, Luke, Morgan) would be the best pick and the best way to improve this team. Here me out---those of you screaming for QB need to realistically approach the situation.  We are not drafting a QB early barring a late season Young meltdown.  Bryce is getting a fifth year--and he will start in 2026 and probably in 2027 barring some major meltdown.  This season has a ton of "fallen angels" or QBs with the skill set to develop into an NFL starter.   In the second or third round, you draft your possible qb of the future.  Scratch these probable first rounders: however, the next six or seven have tremendous potential, and if you draft a QB like the Packers do and develop him for 2-3 seasons, these QBs would give us an upgrade at #2 QB and 2 years to groom him in the event Bryce does not earn a huge second contract. About WR:  Coker is a solid #3 and Horn gives us a thrilling option on STs and in the slot.  He was a nice pick.  TMac needs a strong #2.  XL does not seem that interested in the job, and he seems a bit over his head in the NFL.  Yes, we could use a solid WR, but I am not sure a rookie.  I think we pinch some pennies and redo some OL contracts and make WR our biggest priority in free agency.  Draft a sleeper late. Tight End:  Do we have enough there?  I really like Mitchell, but I am not sure about Sanders and Tremble is who he is.  Do we have a threat?  I think Bryce loves his checkdowns and underneath routes--he's not had a Stud TE.  I want one.  (platonic)  They are usually still available in round 3. Safety:  Not sure we have the center fielder we need at FS.  Moehrig and Ransom might be the same thing.  And if it were not for Doc in "Back to the Future," nobody in Charlotte would ever say "Great Scott!"  We need a smart, defensive QB at S, in my opinion. Of course, OL (center, T) could be in play, but I like Mays as the starter at C and Moton could play another season or two.  We need to start grooming guards, but we have depth there now. My draft day order, by position: Linebacker  Have we ever been good without the best ILB in the NFL?  I don't think so. (3-4 now, but we run some 4-3 looks) QB #2 with long-term starting potential  (I like so many second-tier QBs.  one or two of them will become NFL starters.  Mark my words) Tight End  (lotta folks might disagree here, but a big-time, viable option to go with Mitchell, Sanders, and Tremble) Safety  (we need a QB for the D--Moehrig and Ransom are similar) Tackle (Moton is getting old and we need to start grooming a potential replacement) WR  (this late IF we sign a free agent) Center (I like Mays, but his contract status and the depth at C needs to be addressed)    
    • I would be fine with that, the kid can sling the rock.
    • Panthers open as 4.5 point favorites. You get three points for being at home so Vegas thinks we are only 1.5 points better than the one win saints..  Tells you what they think about the team and our ability to score
