You aren't paying attention. You don't gameplan in the first preseason game so you go vanilla. We seem to be better against the run although Roy was getting moved on double teams. Playing more read and react because our secondary is going to be good.

Frankly I like it better than the sellout at all costs to get pressure.

I agree.  Our defensive line may end up being not that good, but you can't take anything from today's performance.

We better stay healthy on the DL. The backups don't look NFL caliber. I think there is a DL or two on the final roster who isn't currently on the roster.

Tbh, I don't recall being more unimpressed with our defensive depth up front in along time.  Those backup LBs and DLs outside of Barno and Smith were some of the worst I ever remember seeing.

That’s true but I think the concerning thing is that it didn’t look any of our guys can generate pressure on their own (except maybe Barno)… meaning that the only way we’ll generate pressure is with blitzes, stunts, etc.

Run defense looked good by the starters today, but yes - that is the biggest concern for the regular season. If they can be average at stopping the run, the defense has some potential to be really good. Hanging onto the ball on offense will help, obviously.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
