Your Panther Superlatives

Biggest ?: OL, on paper it looks improved but we haven't seen that translate to the field so far.

Biggest disappointment: Again, I'd say OL but since I already named them I'll say the backup QBs.

Biggest surprise: Burns looks like he's going to be a beast. Not necessarily shocking for a 1st round pick, but if he's as good out of the gates as he looks to be that will be a surprising transition to the NFL as a rookie.

Most improved player: Samuel

MVP: I'd say Cam's right shoulder. That a looks good so far. Better than it did even early on last season before it went downhill.

Most Confusing Poll .........  WFNZ

 

How exactly are we supposed to name biggest surprise or biggest disappointment when we are still in preseason?

It's like they read the Huddle or something.

Not poll, your predictions

Worst Charlotte Radio Station: WFNZ

biggest hack in Charlotte radio: Chris McClain and the other bozos on the morning show. 

Has anyone ever told you that you just radiate positivity? It’s like an aura.

I basically echo this.  While I firmly believe our starting oline will get it together, I was just hoping it would happen sooner rather than later.

Early in the draft process I had misgivings about Burns.  His size bothered me.  When he was picked, I was behind him all the way.  And I know Preseason MVPs don't always translate to the regular season...but I really am loving his explosiveness and how hungry he is to get to the ball.  His second effort, not giving up on plays.  Just everything.  

Samuel has been looking amazing, and thats not just Panther Homerism.  He has been getting a lot of nods from the national media in various formats.

Biggest? ... Poe? 

Biggest disappointment: Want to say Grier and he has been so far but rookie QB only played couple of preseason. I’ll say the OL I felt it was improved in the offense to really still perform as bad as last year... 

Biggest surprise? Terry Godwin. Several I wanted to name here like Burns, Haynes, Scarlett but felt like they were going to be good. I’ll say Terry because 7th round pick and be has looks natural out there and brought life to our return game. 

Most improved: would say Samuel here which from camp and the little action he has been most improved but I’m going to say my jaw has dropped from Haynes performance this preseason

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
