Can we all admit, PJ brings a different kinda spark to this offense and that becomes contagious on defense.

 

Can't wait to see how the one's vibe

 

At this point some carolina panther fans will never see it for pj walker and thats something i accept. its cool, we know whats up though.

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.

Guys like Samuel have that quick change of direction speed.  Robby more that straight line speed.  DJ IMO is the perfect mix. 

I don’t care Marshall got caught from behind.  He isn’t suppose to be that type dude. 

was a more surprised with Chubba 

So was Chubba. I love how pissed he was that he got caught on that 60 yard run. That's how you know he's a baller, he takes one 60 yards and gets visible mad that it wasn't a TD. I wish his hands were a little better though, he dropped a couple of easy catches.

I was not impressed with PJ. Under 50% isn't going to cut it in this league. He has to be more accurate. That said, he's clearly better than Grier. We're in trouble if Sam --who has never played all 16 games -- misses time.

17 now

Marshall is the real deal. Sooo many weapons on offense, just need the line to hold (well not hold, but play serviceable).

David Moore didn't get as many touches being a vet, but I was impressed by him as well. He looked to be PJ's favorite target right off the bat, and made some nice catches. WR and DE are definitely our deepest positions.

I guess people forgot about CMC getting ran down in his first 3 years too. He put in the work and now hardly ever gets caught anymore. People making this such a big deal when there is none.

also, the guy chasing Marshall was locked in on a straight line sprint going  all out. 

Marshall was out there turning his head left and right looking for defenders to stiff arm and evade. 

Even if they had the exact same top end speed...the defender is going to be faster just given what the two were doing.   

Plays like that are why preseason games actually matter though for young guys.  Real game scenarios.  Learning experiences.  It takes work to figure out the league where everyone is fast and strong.  That probably was an easy TD in college for him.   Gotta find another gear and moves to pull it off in a NFL game.

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.

      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

      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.
