per gantt's blog...

The Panthers haven't finished their practice in Arizona, but they have submitted their injury report to the league.

WR Muhsin Muhammad, FS Charles Godfrey and TE Dante Rosario are listed as out for the game. It's unclear at the moment whether they even got on the plane, as none of them even came out to practice this week.

That means Dwayne Jarrett will start at receiver, and rookie Sherrod Martin will likely fill in for Godfrey.

It's the first game for the Panthers Muhammad's missed since a concussion in 2003. He hasn't been the same player all season, struggling to get open.

we aren't supposed to be winning this game anyway, why not give these guys a chance and see what they got?

i'm looking forward to seeing these guys on the field. not sure what i'm expecting. i would just like to see them in a bigger role and see what they can do with it.

only thing missing....is a giving a QB a shot. Fox's feels he is forced to give these guys looks but I think even if the injured were healthy that reasons exist why that group should get a legitimate look.

Well, except for Rosario...he has proven he deserves to be a starter at TE.

This could officially be called the Wally Pipp game. Especially if Jake doesn't make it to half time. Hopefully he does, but if not, thanks for the memories.

Exactly. After Jake stinks it up (just being realistic), Moore comes in to rally us to a victory finding Jarrett in the back left of the endzone ala Ricky Proehl. Wally motherf***ing Pipp game in the second half.

this is actually great news.

no one's sold on Godfrey anyway, so maybe Martin has some skills...maybe he can show us why we drafted him so early!

we've all been excited to see barnidge in an expanded role, and last week was a glimpse of how brilliant he can be...

and Jarrett finally gets his shot to put up or shut up.

if nothing else on Sunday, we get a looksee at the future...

We should move Rosario to WR, Barnidge to an every down TE, and use King in 2 TE sets, goal line, 3rd/1, 4th/1 situations when there's a premium on blocking.

Holy s**t how is that I'm a random forum internet poster and I understand this more than our coaching staff.

You understand what? I agree with what you saying but to play devils advocate there is no way anyone of us can predict how things would happen in this O if they did that. Rosario doesn't have great speed, barnidge is unproven at blocking, and King is probably the best-all around TE on the roster.

its going to be a long day for martin..i know they are going to pick on him.

but maybe just maybe he'll pull a jerious byrd on them...

who knows... i'm holdin out hope. however unrealistic that hope may be, it's what keeps me watching the games and lovin them panthers, no matter how unlovable they may be this year.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
