Official Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans Gameday Thread!

The things that Allen has been doing right are traits you don't often see in young quarterbacks out of the gate. Specifically his poise and pocket movement behind a developing OL.

That and his accuracy/timing/rhythm with the receivers gives me hope that even if he struggles some against Houston, he still has the tools to win games for us. There will inevitably be some ups and downs with any quarterback. If that happens the usual village idiots will turn on him, but those of us that have actually watched the Panthers play over the years know what to expect from a young QB.

This ain't the Panthers we've grown accustomed to since Cam was drafted - with holes and ignored positions all over the place.

2 dynamic receivers. And quality 3 and 4!

One of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.

A revamped offensive line going into their 4th game together. 

Greg Olsen still has something in the tank.

Upgraded pass rush!

2 starting caliber cornerbacks!

2 starting caliber safeties - been a looonnngg time since this was the case!

All this team needs is consistent, healthy QB play. Anything more and they'll blow the Texans out.

Oh, forgot to mention an actual NFL caliber offensive coordinator!

I'd put this team against anyone right now! No homer!

any word on donte yet?   interested to see how we do against watson.  he's really good.  also want to see how the o-line does, and of course excited for kyle 'hall of fame, 2 way player, about to get 60mil/yr' allen.   i'm expecting a very physical game.  hoping nobody gets hurt, specially watson.  they're putting him in the same situation down there cam got put in and i hate it for him.

I think it's going to be a close game, unless our defense just tears up the Texan's line. If that happens, it's Katie-bar-the-door. Of course, if they tear up ours, it's the same.

The offensive lines will be the decision makers today. I like our running game, but their passing game might, just might, be a bit better than ours. 

I think Allen will have a solid game and keep us in it. I'd love to see him take home another win.

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
