All our rookies with the exception of Fletcher and Hoskins have been on the field.  Nixon has been on a couple of plays and I expect to see more of Taylor now the Horn is down.

Contribution from these rookies are going to pay dividends as the season progresses.  I don't remember this many of our rookies contributing in their first season.

That was a good play. Took me a second to realize who the receiver was 😆

(willing to bet I'm not the only one)

It's good we use him now and then in the passing game but I really like him as a PR.  Though he hasn't had a great return his ability to catch every punt is great.  I don't worry about him catching the ball.  He's very consistent and I don't cringe on whether he will catch it or not.

I agree DaveThePanther2008 that he looks like he concentrates well. I just need more of a threat than 2 steps and fall down go boom. 

You have to give the punt coverage team props.  He has had very little opportunity to break one but at least I'm not worried about him fielding the ball. 

That play he made in the New Orleans game was critical.  The one where the ball hit Taylor's foot and he was headups enough to pounce on the ball before N.O. could get it.  That was a game changer.  New Orlean's gets that ball it could have change the outcome of the game.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
