Positives from the game

I’m extremely negative when the Panthers are losing games and this one makes 10 in a row dating back to next season. This team is bad and we should all feel bad. But here’s some positives a noticed:

Perseverance. During their first two gamesthe Panthers have trailed by two scores in the 4th quarter, and have shown fight and battles back in both games. That at the very least shows this team is unlikely to get completely embarrassed off the field despite being outmatched in every game this season.

Waiver Wire Win: Yet again Rasul Douglas, a guy who joined the team two weeks ago, is clearly the best defensive back on the roster.

WR Strength: Usually the worst position group on the team during Cam’s years on the Panthers, now we have a WR duo of Moore and Anderson that are easily the best pair of WRs since Smith and Muhammad.

One Loss Closer: Another loss brings us one loss closer to the end of a third straight losing season and hopefully the future at QB.

Hell i'd rather take chances on picking up some random dood like we did with Douglas than have Bostons sorry ass out there. Just throw a dart at the waiver wire board and bring somewho in and literally couldn't be any worse.

You know this is a horrible team when dudes picked up off the waiver wire play better than the dudes on the actual roster.

Mike Davis showed he's likely worth the $3M.

Early on I was really thinking he was nothing special back there. In the second half, and especially after CMC went out, the guy answered the call and played with a lot of heart. Yeah, he's a pretty good pick up. Rasul Douglas is certainly making the most of his opportunity. Chin looks like the real deal. 

Brian Burns had some flashes of talent there. Was beginning to worry.

Chinn was good, but let's not fake a punt like that again. 

Charlton looks a lot better in the game than he did in that one pre-season video. That's not necessarily good, but that's at least a relief.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
