Dak is an elite QB and Cooper and Lamb are a great tandem. The OLine is not the dominant OLine theyve had in the past and Zeke is a shell of himself. On defense they have some big names but they do not play very well as a whole

They have a ton of injuries on defense and are flat out bad, if it wasn't for a really bad call on the chargers offense they would be 0-2.

Also Dak isn't elite you need a playoff W at least imo for that.

Hopefully they stay Zeke heavy.   Tony Pollard IMO is the more explosive player and overall better RB at this point.   That started emerging last year.  Not that Zeke is trash.   But losing a step has really altered how scary he is. 

Will be curious to see the usage tonight.  They were about a 50/50 split the week prior.

Dak has a playoff win.  The last time the Cowboys went to the playoffs they advanced a game.

Dak is solid, their receivers are great, Elliott has looked like trash this year and their OL has been bottom 5 in the league.

Their D is mediocre at best. They are not well coached overall.

I'm very confident about this one, even without McCaffrey/Horn. Bouye/CJ will help our D continue to be the best in the league even against a better offense. Darnold will be more of the same. Limit mistakes, a few deep shots to keep the D honest but mostly just steadily moving the ball and putting up enough points to get a convincing victory. 27-13 good guys

According to ESPNs Pass Blocking Win Rate metric, the Cowboys are dead last in the league at around 39%. I think our pass rush will help our depleted secondary this week against one of the better WR corps in the league. We should be able to pressure Dak consistently and not give his WRs much time to get open.

IF if was a fifth.....If the Cowboys wouldn't have left 7 pts. on the board (2 missed FGs and an extra point) they would have beat Tampa opening night and be 2-0. Dak beat Russell Wilson in his lone play off win. 

The Cowboys OL and secondary is sub par. The lack of blocking affects their running game. Their defense is ranked near the bottom of the league and didn't make the Chargers punt. Well, they did force a punt but got a ruffing the kicker penalty.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
