Philly and Minnesota had starting QB's behind their starter, we don't even have a Anderson type QB for one. Secondly I wasn't talking about DT were we are deep but OT. Thirdly we have one starting CB and after that???? Hopes and dreams. We are thin and there is no way around that. We have extreme depth at WR, DT, and C but that's it. 

We would have Anderson if we wanted him but we released him in favor of a young guy like Gilbert.  Let's see what happens during training camp and preseason before sounding all the alarms. I don't have as negative opinion as you do. For example we have 5 corners with starting experience not 1.  Cockrell had a PFF score of 81 versus Bradberry's 42.4. 

I think we have good starters and decent depth unless we have a year with multiple injuries at the same position like we did at Center in 2016. In that case no depth will be enough.

It doesn't matter what we would rather see. It's going to be vanilla as per usual. The third game may have more plays that are real than usual but I don't see the need to take away the mystery of what Turner may change. This could be a big year for Cam, assuming he gets the offense down, based purely on the fact that his tape in the same offense was out there with like 90 games to choose from.

Before last season you and everyone else would've said Case was a career bum.... Which he was. 

Zimmer believed that Case's year was a fluke and alluded to such at the combine. 

Hell Foles was awful last year until they installed the rpo offense for the playoffs. But outside of the playoffs and his first season under Chip he was also garbage

Maybe you were saying that but anyone with half a brain knew Min was loading up on good QB's. Why because only stupid teams go into a season with a bad line and one good QB.

That one year deal with incentives that COULD pay Case 2 million speaks to all the teams that thought he was good... He was a body that had nfl experience but no franchise thought that he was "good" 

Minny did bring him in for depth behind Bridgewater but once Sam got hurt they had to change plans.

Everyone knew he could start beside you. Min was shotguning the QB position because they knew their line was not good and Bridgewater was not durable.

Can starting and being good are two different things fam.

I never said he couldn't start, I said that he wasn't good before last year. Which is a fact.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
