Panthers showing promise


Shadow

Recommended Posts

We all knew the Panthers were not going to be great this year. But every game this year has been watchable and we really haven't been beaten as soundly as we could have been. I am very happy with seeing the progress made so far.

Teddy has done a really nice job of being accurate with the ball. Davis has put his heart into every carry. Anderson has been very steady with his catches and has good speed. I look forward to another defense heavy draft so we can see what the team can do with a full nfl defense.

Obviously everything is not perfect but we can leave that for another day. I just want to see us get better each week and soon we will have a really fun squad to lead us to the playoffs each year.

We’re playing exactly how I thought we would before the season began. After the first two games my expectations dropped severely, but QB play has certainly improved back to my expectations and I’m back to thinking we’ll be right around .500. There are some really promising young players on our defense, Robby Anderson is the best FA we’ve signed in forever, I knew he was gonna be really good for us but even I didn’t expect top two or three in the league in yards. We have promising youth on both sides of the ball and in the coaching group. Future looks bright, one elephant in the room notwithstanding.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
