Who was the best Carolina Panthers player today?

I'm going to say the first half offensive line: Scott, Maskey, Tecklenburg, Deonte Brown and Brady Christensen.  They allowed 0 sacks, 0 FF, 161 yards passing with 0 interceptions and 80 yds rushing from the RB while the QB didn't have to run for a single yard.   

Was it perfect?  No.  Were there penalties? Yes.   

But extrapolate that out to a whole game and we would have blown them out.

With as much trash the huddle has given our O line, I think a thanks is due when they do decent. 

I should add LIttle to the list.  Yes I know, I know.  But Scott took 14 snaps, didn't have his best day, and  LIttle took 33.

Yep. Hacked off he didn't score, gotta love that passion! It's hard not to be excited about this rookie class, like, super freakin' stoked.

There are varying schools of thought on this but, with last year a complete defensive draft, and this year virtually all offense, there is little doubt in my mind the Panthers are in year two of the rebuild process.

 

Honestly, it feels like we have adults in charge for the first time ever and this is coming along splendidly. Somebody slap me and wake me up.

Definitely year 2, IMO. I'm of the opinion that we have a decent chance of picking up a wildcard spot this year, although I know it's way too early to have more than a gut feeling about that. Marshall, Hubbard, and Tremble flashed. Christensen and Brown held their own on the right side of the line. Shi made a nice catch. A LOT to be stoked about.

Not to leave out the D rookies. Nixon and Hoskins looked decent (not a glamorous position), and Taylor made some plays, as did Luvu and Fisher at LB.

PJ prove a couple doubters wrong, didn't throw a pick...baby steps

I came in to mention this.   Was he the best player yesterday?  No.  Did he exceed expectations when given the chance?  Absolutely.   Not saying we should scrap Darnold and he is the answer, or that he has nothing left to prove at QB but it was promising to see he looked like a capable backup option.

Kenny Robinson had the highest pff grade with an 89.7.  He also looked solid to my eye at least.   He took most of his snaps at FS but he also took some snaps at slot.  He's someone I've hoped would start to flash eventually. 

The coaches aren't going to be happy about that 15 yard penalty, but I agree that he showed some promise. I liked that draft pick last year and it disappointed me when he was cut. Hopefully things start to click for him. I think he has some talent to work with.

Robinson looked good, not sure why he isn't mentioned more in this thread. Imagine if him, Taylor, and Horn all pan out. 6'3, 6'2, 6'1 Roller Coaster Fun GIF by Vevo

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
