Fair point about the O-line getting blown up that play. I was so fixated on Hubbard, that I missed the complete collapse. Speaking of Chuba, he even caught a clean pass last night. He's going to have to continue to work on his hands. That's the only way that I'm gonna be sold on him. That, and the ability to block consistently, but I believe the latter will come with development.

Slye may be a likeable kid, but...

Props for Grier showing improvement!

Shi Smith was a bright spot on several very bad South Carolina teams. I’ve watched him make tough, contested catches for 4 years. He’s an absolute baller. 
 

I agree about the oline. Put Brown and Christensen on the right side and let’s roll. 

I think that Shi Smith put any talk of him not making the team to bed last night. You said it right: he's a baller. And, no one can legitimately say otherwise.

Carolina has had redzone issues over the years that spilled into the regular season even with a running threat like Newton. To think this won't translate at all is naive. They can and will get better but our run blocking needs to be fixed first. And ffs stop signing these bums to protect your investment!

Kick the kicker

Slye is gone, so don't even worry about this. Would not shock me to see the ECU kid on the Ravens get picked up by us. He looked pretty good. 

This is so disappointing to me. I was really pulling for him. He's got such a powerful leg, if he could just improve his consistency, he'd be a stud. But we've given him more than enough time to get whatever his issue is figured out. And at this point I thin the problem is more between his ears than anything with his mechanics. So yeah, he's gone, and I don't see how you could possibly think otherwise after Rhule's comments last night. That was almost like the Fredo speech.

We'll meet our new players after the 3rd pre season game.  Also that'll give the new kicker ( fingers crossed)  and other possible starters  over 2 weeks before the opening game Sept 12.   

No, not the way I'd draw it up..  I'd have our 53 plus players in our own camp now... but they'll be coming soon and have a couple of weeks to get acclimated to our system.

GO PANTHERS

The biggest problem this team faces in 2021 is a horrible lack of depth. This showed against the Colts and again against the Ravens. This won’t be fixed this year, it will take another off-season. So just cross your fingers and hope we can stay relatively healthy.

This^ 

The team is obviously lacking in depth and is not quite ready to hang with the perennial playoff teams just yet.  

The are still 1 or 2 good drafts away from getting the depth they want.  Another draft like the last one and we are pretty damn close.  Just my observation.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      David Newton finally retires

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
