He moves the ball and apart from one game hasn’t made the critical mistakes. It’s complimentary football. I’d like to see the O perform a bit better considering we’ve played pretty poor pass defenses.

Faulty stats again - based on yards per game. The Panthers have scored 125 points in the four games since Cam has been hurt. Certainly, the defense has been responsible for putting them in position to score (and then scoring some themselves), but the offense has been efficient enough to capitalize on their opportunities.

And occasionally toss in a 99-yard drive. 

So, it shouldn't be a surprise that teams with a good defense get a shorter field and have less reliance on the offense to gain those yards.

I like the way the defense has played.

But our scoring defense is not where we'd like it to be.  unless you play fantasy football, yards you give up rushing passing etc mean nothing..  POINTS you give up are still what matters..  22 a game.   14th in the league.

The better  teams with leads , and yes we've had them,  are still  making stops ..  Our game with the Texans was awesome, but we had a 6 point lead and couldn't give an inch

Pass defense is our strength. 9th in passing yds allowed. Our issue is rushing defense where we are 21st.

That goes back to the Ron Rivera lack of killer instinct this team has had since day 1. 

To be fair, it's not something exclusive to Ron. Many teams have this same issue.

6 fumbles isn't critical mistakes? Those are as good as ints in my eyes.

Every winning/postseason year outside of 2015 Ron Rivera has had....has been driven by the defense.  So you can say that about 75% of the seasons Cam has gone to the postseason too.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
