This week I learned on the Huddle (Preseason week 3 edition)

Great OP but I still don't agree that he stares down receivers.

Or maybe the reason it seems that way is because he already has a receiver in mind to go to prior to the snap?

Remember that this team is full of YAC monsters that he can pick and choose from and Sam was like "I can actually get 1st downs(and more) and move the chains like I couldn't with the Jets?  Sign me up for this s--t!"

I think as he gets more comfortable, he'll go for the deep ball like we all want him to.    He has a history of doing that(it's not like he's never thrown it deep before or is unable to) so it's not like we're getting Teddy 2.0 here.  

 

(the "I see Ghosts" crap is played out but Smitty was right in that Sam still has a bit of happy feet due to the Trauma he suffered from his time with that f'n sh-tty franchise in NY)

    • Icky was always a weak pass blocker come out of college. Cross was the premier pass blocker in that class. Much easier to learn run blocking than pass blocking. I never expected Icky to ever become an elite pass blocker. If he was average, that's all I really expected. I did expect him to be an absolute mailer in the run game. 
    • We aren’t in danger of being in the basement anymore and if we keep drafting well we could get to the playoffs after a while. I don’t mind if we get a new QB and coach eventually but we are “stable” and I’m grateful for it. 
    • I prefer 9-8. Reason being, winning season shows overall improvement and is the 1st step to establishing a winning culture. Backing into the playoffs with a losing record doesn't show you earned anything. It's the product of a weak division. If playoffs were based off records, most likely you're not going because another team(s) have a better record.  Chances are too, the next season, you're going to have a tougher schedule and a couple of those bounces that went your way are going to go the other direction and it's another losing season and no playoffs.  There have been 5 teams to get into the playoffs with a losing record. The 2014 and 2025 Panthers are 2 of those teams. Losing record trip 3 isn't exactly something I would be proud of doing. We have 9 playoff appearances so far, 2 of them simply because we won a shitty division. Another one would mean 30% of our appearances are only because we were the least stinky turd. That's a stat I'd want to flush.
