I wouldn’t call him great. I think of DJ on the verge of dropping off more than stepping up. I think he has a motivation issue and hoping the new coaching staff can help him. We can’t have Smitty always calling him out to get night and day performance out of him. But motivation issues absolutely kill players.

I’d say at this point Samuel and DJ are both battling to be decent #3 receivers which is pretty awful considering the investment. #2 might be their ceilings if DJ can be motivated and more importantly maintain that. Not sure about Samuel.

Anderson seems like a legit #2. 
 

Panthers still need that dominating threat for red zone or make other team adjust. The biggest issue I see right now is no receiver on the team demands attention. Robby is getting there but it’s going to be tough going against good DBs if they’re llowed to play man and load up the line  and it not be an issue.

I think Anderson is making a case for being a #1 receiver. He has been clutch on several third downs. The issue for me is the lack of tight ends who can do the dirty work in the redzone. You are going to be working on a linebacker or safety which should be a favorable matchup. But we get nada production.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
