One position group you’re confident about… one group you’re terrified about

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Like I said, I'm not expecting Greg Olsen. But I do think they're going to be good enough to at least not be a weakness. We saw Ian Thomas wasn't getting it don't so we signed a mid-level FA who is primarily a receiver and we drafted a mid-round rookie who is primarily a blocker. Cool. Hopefully Arnold will improve as a blocker and hopefully Tremble will develop as a receiver. Maybe they can each help the other out in those departments.

All Arnold has to do is be a threat. Its honestly that simple. Thomas has a 0.000004 level threat with Defensives. With CMC, Moore, Anderson, and maybe Marshall/Hubbard/Smith. If you lock up the outside the numbers, middle should be open... Arnold just needs the D to respect him and that will do wonders for the panthers. Think about it- Arnold is WR/TE, so he should eat up most LBs...that means LB off the field and DB on the field.......Time to run CMC/Hubbard til the LB comes back....then back to passing......Unless the D has a Chinn they will BLEED!!!!!!

The LBs are definitely a weak link. Ultimately, I think the D goes as far as the DL can carry it. Our secondary is still young and won't hold up well if their isn't a strong pass rush. We really need Shaq to start playing like the All-Pro Marty clearly thought he would become and paid him to be. 

Fixed part of it for you.  Shaq is a good outside lb. That's all.  Pair him with a great MLB and he's the next TD, or at least that is what the last regime were hoping.  Water under the bridge.  

And there's that pesky thing called depth that they haven't quite gotten sorted out yet.

Shaq Thompson shouldn’t be in the same sentence, paragraph, essay next to the name Thomas Davis

I'm not sure how to feel about this defense just yet.  I still think they are another draft away from getting the core on defense assembled.  That linebacker group makes me real nervous.  

I'm hoping Oldman Snow can cook up something new this season to try to mitigate the weaknesses. 

I think the same thing I thought last year.  They will struggle early, but get better as the season goes along.  Last season, we had a very rough start, went thru a stretch where we couldn't force a punt.  By the end of the season, we had gotten to the point some decency on defense, and improved over the previous year.  I think we will be a little better this year, and will end up somewhere in the middle of the pack statistically.

    • Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then. 
    • Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.   
    • I feel like if we keep playing like we are we can play with anyone. These teams ain't world beaters.
