I have a feeling our defense is going to make him look really bad. We might actually drop 40 on them. Talking heads will say Wilson is terrible and on here we will be talking SB. Neither will happen.

THIS ^^^^

I think our defense is going to be the talk of the NFL after Sunday.  We have a lot of pieces.  Many players are able to move around.  IE Chinn up to LB or Burns dropping back into coverage.  Solid players along the d-line and a back end to back it up.    

I know preseason is not a prediction for the season but our defense gave up 13 points in the first half TOTAL.  The only touchdown came at the end of the 1st half against Indy.   

In the 1 game the defensive starters played.  We gave up 60 total yards in the first half on 6 drives with 1 INT.  (19 total plays)

I expect to see Thieves Avenue reborn in a big way in 2021. 

I'm excited and will be more disappointed if the defense plays poorly than if Darnold doesn't play well. 

Wilson may be the future but he's about to get a taste of what a Good NFL defense is all about.

I think it's funny how that idiot was accusing Keyshawn of being a homer, especially after how dirty the Panthers did him. I've always liked Keyshawn, but I've never known him to be a Panthers homer in any sense of the word. 

Pretty sure he was referring them both being from USC . Kellerman is still a tool though.

Not really. NFL won't let it download but 2019 highlights were 12 minutes long. 

 

 

There is a huge false narrative out there that Sam is just some terrible turnover machine.  His first 2 seasons he had a positive TD/INT ratio.  He was actually developing as a young QB should.\

Rookie Year - 57%, 2865, 17 - 15 

2nd Year (also mono year) - 62%, 3024, 19-13

Last year was not good - 60%, 2208, 9 - 11 - BUT, the entire organization was in tank mode and had completely given up on their head coach, who is God Awful.  They had the worst O-Line and the worst group of skill position players in the entire NFL.  Not exactly the case here in Charlotte.

All Im trying to say is before last year, Sam was developing into a nice, young NFL QB, and he was maturing and his stats were improving.  I sincerely think last season he had the entire deck stacked against him and it was an aberration in his overall progress.  I think we see very big things from Sam and from the offense.  People let the media decide their opinions for them.  And that opinion on Sam has morphed into him somehow being the worst QB in the NFL, when the film and the numbers hardly show that at all.

In short, fug the media, and fug the haters.

Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

Our D was all over the place in the Pre Season.  They got heat on the QB a lot, and forced multiple turnovers each game if I am not mistaken.  Sunday is our national coming out party.  Everybody is gonna know who Brian Burns is at 430 PM on Sunday.

When I think of "Game Manager", Trent Dilfer comes to mind.

Can Sam be better than Trent Dilfer?

Sam is pretty much the opposite of a game manager.  He and Dilfer share almost nothing in common relating to their play styles.  Sams style is more poor mans Aaron Rodgers than Trent Dilfer.

One thing I've noticed watching Wilson this pre-season - and it was highlighted just now in the two snippets from a press conference (one of Darnold, one of Wilson): he's fuging tiny, isn't he? 

I don't think he'll last the beating the NFL will put on him. 

Does he even know how to scramble / run like Sam does?   I wonder how he will take a sack by Burns or Reddick....

He looks like a high schooler playing in the NFL.

Honestly, that was the feeling I got watching Jimmy Clausen too.

With that said, I do think Wilson's skill set is a lot better than Clausen's was.

Yeah, physically he definitely reminds me of Pickles.  And lest we forget, Clausen was very highly regarded coming out of Notre Dame.

6'3" 214 and he'll likely add another 10 pounds or so over the next year or two.

      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.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Honestly, irrespective of Bryce, this is my hope for Canales. I hate hearing about him being a "QB whisperer." Because I don't give a rat's ass about him saving Bryce's career. Bryce either proves to be worth what we gave up for him, or it's next man up. I'm just excited to have a young, innovative offensive mind.
