Let's also set the expectation that it's going to be really really bad football.

Week 1 is typically sloppy anyway, but with no preseason it's probably gonna be a whole new level of ugly.

I won't even talk about the officiating.

If the Chiefs and Texans are bad, I shudder to think what the Panthers will be. 

 

Yikes.

well, college football pulls it off pretty consistently.  Not sure why the NFL can't function without preseason games.

College football isn't pro level.

And as mentioned, even with preseason games, Week 1 pro football is frequently sloppy as hell.

Throw in that the roster decisions will have been made without benefit of seeing guys in actual game situations, so there will likely be at least a few guys on every roster who probably shouldn't be there.

What do you mean let’s set, I was already set for some really bad football early this season since January 7th. Anything better than really bad football will be a pleasant surprise.

If there’s one good thing out of this whole situation. There is absolutely zero tape on the “new” panthers. So any really bad football can’t be blamed on the coaches. It’s all on the GM/Players until there’s tape out. 
 

That is unless the entire scheme is dogshit and we get trounced. Which when you think about game 1-3/4 is basically going to be preseason except for really well built teams coming out of last year without much turnover who will have a huge leg up on the rest of the competition this year.

bad could be fun.  Could end up looking like the first couple of weeks of 2011 where two games each had a 1000 yards of passing and Tom Brady had almost 1000 yards after two weeks.  

And bad football is still better than no football.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.

      Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.
