We're 5-6...got beat by s 3-6 team....i see nothing trending upward...

Could also look at it as were 5-6, same amount of wins from the last year with 6 games left to play. Have our QB for the next couple years locked in, defense is almost completely rebuilt, and we’re only on year 2 of our rebuild.

I hate to do this, buuuuut, QB isn't locked in past this year. It's hard to say if he'll be back next year. I think he will be. I think the coaches would be fools to let Cam walk. Today was the best QB play we've seen in a long time. Sam looked okay the first 3 weeks, but I don't think even those games did QB play look as good as today.

I apologize for trying to find some bright spots, I know that is not a good fit among all doom and gloomers. I would appreciate to keep this relatively free of negativity as there are plenty of threads for that:

1) Really happy with Cam’s play today. A lot to build on as he gets the full playbook down. Looked in control and played smart.

2) Really impressed by CJ Henderson’s tackling, his supposed weak spot. He got beat on one play, but looked really good overall. Excited to follow his progress now that he’s back from his shoulder injury.

3) From what I could tell Brady Christensen looked pretty decent at LT. He moves really well. Would like some more input on this as I just casually focused on him on a couple of plays.

A bad loss, but I’m pretty excited overall moving forward as our defense matches up pretty well with most teams moving forward, Gilmore getting more up-to-speed, Horn coming back for the playoffs(?) and the offense continue to progress under Cam. 

 

 

Dude don't ever Apologize for wanting to be optimistic and positive.

I have a positive: cam was literally reading off a wristband. You could tell he didn’t even have the terminology of the offense totally down yet. I’m sure we couldn’t check much. Despite this we didn’t even approach a delay of game penalty, except for the one that was wiped off. We always seemed to struggle getting plays in on time during his previous tenure. Nice to see that was a coaching error. Also noticed Washington just so happened to have a few of those.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
