I’m just getting annoyed because reading live tweets it seem like a 60/40 Colts but now everyone wants to panic and make it seem like we got dominated which doesn’t seem to be the case is just the negative Nancy’s want it to be

i’m currently listening to WFNZ and Willie P makes it seem like the defense was god awful even though he said multiple times he didn’t even really watch the defense… How does that work

Paradis won’t help much. I get it, he’s a 5-10 top paid C so people see that and think production. But it was a shitty contract, decent signing. We got 1 garbage year and 1 average year for that money. I would not expect anything above average this year. But yea average always means great for the Panthers.

In todays NFL, you are going to have some weak position groups...that's what the salary cap really does, however, what the Panthers have done is value certain position groups higher than others, and it's often been the wrong ones.

Most Valuable:

Quarterback

Offensive Line

Defensive Line

Secondary

 

While we have always valued the defensive line, we have always undervalued the QB and the OL position group...for some ungodly reason.

This year, we look great at these position groups:

Wideouts

Running backs

Defensive Line

Now that's not to say that RB and WR aren't important, but they just simply aren't as important to winning as OL, QB, and Secondary....IMO.

Paradis has had a major injury already in his career and is having back issues now and he will be 32 this fall. Ryan Kalil called it quits for Carolina at 33. Odds are next year we will be exploring options at center.

Yeah, his play is just average. I liked the signing but looks like the Broncos were right about him and that injury. But, his presence will still help with protections, etc.

Hey guys...first post here.   My son played with Sam at USC and they were roommates for two years.  How has Sam looked so far?

There isn't a great deal of information to speak of this year to form a full picture but he has had some nice throws and found some consistency after a few turnovers when camp first began. The question is can the protection allow him to develop and find his groove.

They overperformed last year with a quick release.  On paper, it looked worse than any Cam ever had.  Yet we were top 10 in pass pro.  Run grade is a different matter, so a little below average overall.  

Now maybe it was a fluke, or maybe they know what their doing.  I guess we'll see.

The same Cam that had a defensive tackle playing left tackle? Oh ok hun

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
