I see DeAngelo and Stewart bust 10-yard runs...

...and I wonder why the Panthers keep getting away from that. It really boggles the mind. You have three solid running backs. If you wanted to, you could run all game long on people. Why do the Panthers put the ball in Jake's hands? Is it to justify the big contract they gave him?

and their decision to keep starting him + their confidence in him.

Yep and from what I can tell there's no such thing as a "one-dimensional" team, because without a passing AND running attack it's way too easy to take away that one dimension.

So basically, the Panthers are a no-dimensional team. I just realized how much that sucks!

They had no problem running the ball last year, and I still see Double Trouble breaking off big run after big run this year. And I've seen Jake take what the defense gives him. But then the Panthers abandon that, just like they did with the 7-0 lead over Arizona in the playoffs.

You cannot run the ball successfully when teams cram the box and dare you to throw. Until we develop a consistent passing game, the running game will suffer greatly.

The Jets did against Buffalo. We could have easily done it. Their offense wasn't going to do anything, if we grinded it out all game, by the end we would have rolled over them. But no. We passed 44 times.

The consistent passing game should be short dump offs to the RBs and the WRs doing hitch routes 5 yards beyond the LOS. Jake can't throw it accurately longer than 5 yards...its the sad reality.

Because Jake throws pick after pick and then we get behind and are forced to throw. In turn, he throws more picks.

That is the post of the year. Agree.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
