Rams at Panthers - Positives and negatives


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Positives:

Christian McCaffrey. Without him, the Panthers wouldn’t have scored any points.

Special Teams. Aside from one missed field goal, it’s nice to see them going for a punt block every punt. Very rare we’ve ever seen that under Rivera. 

Negatives:

Way too many mistakes. Mirror image of the late season games last season.

The losing streak continues and it might be awhile until it ends if they look like this every week.

Cam Newton. It’s a slow and miserable decline until he can’t even throw a 5 yard dump off.

I am starting to hop off the Cam bandwagon.  Just not careful/accurate enough in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.  Don't see him carrying without the threat of running the ball consistently and it doesn't appear that will be part of the game plan this year which is understandable considering his injury/surgery.

Didn’t start watching till almost HT but I didn’t hear the name Burns called once the entire second half

Run defense looked like it was carried over from last year... Who the F is Short, Poe and GMC?

Cam still looks like he can’t throw the long ball... maybe that shoulder is past repair.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
