The last two games the supposed worst team in the NFL has been down big and managed to dig themselves out of the hole and give themselves a chance to win against two teams that will probably be in the playoff hunt.

The first week the offense played excellent and was able to keep pace with a good Raiders offense while the young defense struggled. Against Tampa the offense struggled with costly turnovers and it looked like Panthers were on the way to being routed, but the defense stepped up big time and allowed the panthers to claw back in the game until the final Buccaneer TD drive.

Both weeks have shown even though the Panthers have found ways to lose, the talent is there to put together a complete game. 

This division that looked like world beaters before the season may just be paper tigers. Atlanta is in maybe more disarray than the Panthers right now, New Orleans and Tampa are the best teams but are hoping father time hasn't caught up to their GenerationX Qb's in a league of Millennials.   

Even without Mccaffrey the Panthers have a shot at taking down the Chargers with their rookie Qb at the helm this Sunday.

I am really encouraged by Cam's play for New England. He really looks like poised, confident, and healthy. I'm happy he's finally on a team that has good coaching and an offensive line that can protect him. He should have looked like he did on Sunday night for his entire career. What a sad franchise we follow, my dudes.

How TF does this post have anything to do with Cam?

You're exactly right.  Even though we're getting bonked in the first half of these games and fall into a hole.  We have come back in both games.  yes we blew it at some point, but eventually we're going to get over that hump and get a dramatic win.  and after that we're going to start winning from the 1st Q.

I was feeling so good that we stopped the Bucs first drive and Teddy lead a beautiful drive down field, before blowing it.  but it can' rain forever...

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
