Yes....but our run defense is going to be horrid as well...our LB could be worst in the league

I believe it will be a complete team effort on how bad our defense will be.  We will have some bright spots but our CB's will get killed by the top rated QB's.  Against the lower rank teams we might hold our own and even have bright spots that will raise hopes, but we will make mistakes that will cost us games.

They will be better than last year. Yall just like to parrot yourselves in every post you make.

The only difference is the age factor and dollar they make.  Young players make mistakes and I am sorry I just don't have a level of confidence that Shaq will be the leader that Luke was.  We will see what happens but I don't worry about the offense.  Can the defense keep us in games is my questionable concern.

We were middle of the pack or better in virtually every passing defense category last year. I honestly don't see this secondary doing better than that, especially since we lost by far our best DB from last season.

To be fair I think a strong argument can be made that a lot of teams don't throw the ball a ton when it's easy to hand off to your rb for 8 yards a pop.  Being awful against the run tends to make your secondary look better on paper than perhaps it really is.

We were above middle of the pack in average net yards per attempt. We were among the league leaders in INTs. 

The run D was absolutely abysmal, but for the most part the secondary wasn't.

We were tied for 20th in the league in terms of pass attempts against us. I was honestly surprised we weren't a lot lower considering you could just line up and run it down our throats at will... and mike and sam for that matter

In what way could they possibly be better? Even tho we sucked last year- we have 0 talent in the secondary and lost luke and our LB corps is awful. DL is wash at best...we lost proven guys like Addison, McCoy, Poe.

If we go into the season with this secondary in our division, teams are going to be putting up video game scores on us. Which is okay by me to be honest. I was never under the delusion that we have anything other than draft position to play for this season.

Man, I really wish the NFL would adopt promotion/relegation tiered league format so that all the fans who want to "play for draft position" can just watch the team get demoted. Here's your reward for sucking. ;)

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
