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

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
