“I hate saying it. But the Panthers played with 10 guys on D last year”

Nah, I was just commenting on half the folks calling TB not being solid while I was on the half hoping he'd be decent 😛

 

I totally missed that one. Although I do agree with it. Hope does not always work. But it's the best we got at the moment.

Constantly signing guys to become better players than they have shown in recent history is more times than not a losing proposition.  At least it didn't cost us $30m in cap.

 

 

Signing a guy you are familiar with, hoping to get something out of him, happens all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.

 

Now the money part. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. lol

we literally went from the best MLB in football to the worst in one season. was brutal. if perryman can just be middle of the pack ill be thankful.

 

Once Carter took over from Whitehead, our D took a big step forward. He is not going away without a fight. I can tell you that. 

 

Perryman is a down hill tackling machine. That's his wheelhouse. 

 

I'm hoping Carter wins that battle. I tell ya what.

feels like Perryman will start the season until his inevitable injury at what point carter will come in and our D wont miss a beat. Great teams have great depth.

At the beginning of Panthers Confidential, you see inside the Panther Draft Room when they're informed of the Lions picking (Penei Sewell).

Scott Fitterer says to Matt Rhule, "So what's gonna happen is Sewell's gonna go, we'll be staring at Horn, and then it's gonna be what's worth us moving off of Horn." 

Later, right around five minutes in, the film rewinds to the day before the draft and you see the meeting where Matt Rhule lists "the cluster of guys we really love" in order with Scott Fitterer, Samir Suleman and David Tepper. 

They are...

- Penei Sewell
- Jaycee Horn
- Patrick Surtain
- Jaylen Waddle
- Devonta Smith

And finally, a little after that comes the part where they actually draft Jaycee Horn, which would strongly suggest he was the guy they wanted (and in fact they say so afterward). 

So ya know,  there's that 😕

Some of those names aren't super legible in the clip, but it's abundantly clear they valued Horn over any other player on the board when we picked.

Given that he was available at eight and we didn't take him, I'd day that "report" smells like bullsh-t. 

The more reliable report was actually that the only quarterbacks we liked were Lawrence and Wilson. 

If Wilson's troubles translate into the season and beyond, it'll give me concerns about their evaluation process. Of course, it could simply Jets doing Jets things.

The whole Defense took a step forward the minute Carter took over. Put some respek on that name.

Still makes me wonder what Carter did to get on Rhule's shitlist. It was pretty evident early on that Whitehead was no longer any good.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
