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.

      The dab is back

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its too late for that.  Time has run out.  You dont give him a ext if he plays "decent".  He played "decent" at the end of last year and look what happened.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).
