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.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
