A prominent myth floating around the league is that Carolina has a great front seven. Today's game proves what I've known all off season...we don't.

Luke is a legitimate all pro player. Addison and Short are could start on just about any team in the NFL. Julius is still a threat on passing downs but is no longer a great EVERY DOWN player. The other guys have their moments, but nothing exceptional. Thomas Davis is out, but based on what I've seen this afternoon I don't think he'd make much of a difference today. 

As for our secondary...well Bradberry is at best a number 2 on most team. Not much to say about the rest of the secondary. We don't have the talent to field an elite defense. The sooner Rivera figures that out the better. This team is going to have to score a lot of points to win games this season because our D isn't going to be able to keep elite offenses under 20 pts this year.

Shaq, Vernon...paper tigers. Great 1st rounders Gettleman...

I may get some flack for saying this, but I think we may have been better off trading out of the 1st round in 2016 when we picked Butler and acquiring  extra picks. You can tell now that he's never going live up to the expectation of a 1st round draft choice. 

This is also a big year for Shaw. He hasn't been able to play a lot due to T. Davis continuing  to play at a high level. But, if he doesn't ball out this year the FO  needs seriously consider whether or not they need to extend him or look for a replacement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
