Brees didn't throw for 312 against us week 12, but he will do it to 1 receiver this time?

To be fair this current form of the Panthers post-Rivera is far worse than the team that played the Saints in Week 12.  Even against the Seahawks, we were down 10-30 at the 5 minute mark.

Thomas definitely ain't going off for 312, but Brees (if he plays the entire game) will almost certainly rip us more than he did last time.

i'm going to say something controversial and extremely brave. michael thomas is good but nowhere near great. he's an illusion because brees spams 5 yard passes to him like 30 times per game. any possession receiver with sure hands would be michael thomas in that offense.

look lol

Im saying he gets 2000 for the season on sunday. Witness history boys

It’s always nice to see a true fan predicting unprecedented success by a division rival against his own team on their own message board. No one predicts a 300 yard receiving game without being deliberately insulting to the defense he faces.

Thomas was putting in work with Bridgewater at QB.  Yes he benefits from the scheme but you still have to be damn good to be as consistent as Thomas is underneath and across the middle.  He isn't just a possession receiver with sure hands.  He's an absolute animal vs the press with arguably the best hands in the league.  There isn't really a good way to defend him.  He's way too good vs the press but if you sag off, he will absolutely eat you alive underneath.

I don't think he's as good as Julio or AB (when on the field), but dude is certainly great.

Michael Thomas is an absolute stud, but he’s more of a move-the-chains / volume / possession guy (not meant to sound like an insult — he’ll be in the HOF one day) than a big-play gamebreaker like Jones. Very much doubt he’ll put up 300+ on the day, especially given he may be sitting at half.

The Huddle has been an anti fan competition as long as I can remember it. I think that's what determines the mods.

Statistically, we're not any worse post-Rivera in passing yardage allowed. We absolutely suck worse in turnovers and rushing yardage allowed, but neither of those areas will benefit Thomas to the tune of 300 yards

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
