Final preseason game thoughts and reactions

- With Reggie Bonnafon and Rodney Smith injured it will come down to Trenton Cannon vs Spencer Brown for the final RB spot

- With the Shi Smith injury Brandon Zylstra and Keith Kirkwood are now the 5th and 6th WR's 

- John Miller was pulled for Dennis Daley who should be starting at RG

- Christian Miller had 3 tackles but could not get consistent pressure on the QB and won't make the team (might have trade value)

- MLB Clay Johnston over currently injured Josh Bynes 

- Sean Chandler and Sam Franklin our new backup safeties 

- With AJ Bouye being suspended first 2 games Myles Hartsfield makes the team as the slot CB/FS

Great observation. Haven't seen anyone else really mention him but he really flashed a couple times tonight. I know Smitty brought him up a few times and he's one of those guys who's name keeps popping up when you read practice reports. Good to see him play well.

Feels good to end the pre-season on a win. There were a lot of good but several bad things. Like Rhule said, the win doesn't mask the bad. I'll take the win though, for moralities sake. Darnold just needs to get the jitters out early and he'll be fine. He seems to have a grasp of the offense and has the talent. This defense is what I am giddy about. If they have multiple turn overs each game then this team might be able to stay in games until the offense gets their poo together.

Didn't realize he had a clean pocket for 17 passes... OL played better than I thought lol.

Those numbers definitely include the one drop, and I think one near interception was out of a clean pocket too.

Yep.  That one near INT could've been disastrous and changed the entire attitude of this entire board toward the negative (though some were already on the verge of that anyway).  Fortunately, as Smitty pointed out, LB's cannot catch.     Regardless, the clean pocket overall showed how effective Sam can be when he's not running for his life.

I had Paradis as giving up two sacks and 1 TFL.

Paradis was getting run over.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
