Accidents happen, but there are some situations you can quit creating that make room for more.

Preseason games aren't necessary. They don't count. Starters and key players shouldn't be put at risk of injury by players from another team; n games that don't count. Getting rid of preseason games eliminates more chances for injury to key players caused by players from another team

Players have said that preseason games give them an opportunity to get their body ready for the brutality of the regular season. A study was conducted and found that there was a significant jump in weeks 1 - 4 of the regular season after the 2020 - 2021 preseason was cancelled due to COVID.

Doesn't mean I have to like it or that my opinion matters. I just don't like the risk involved. Never have. And I don't have to.

This makes the roster math hard. Do you IR Zane before or after the 53 cutdown? I'm guessing after since we may wait to see what shakes loose from other rosters.

The statement is fairly vague.  I imagine they have or soon will have more specific information on the possibility of Zane returning this year.

Welp...

Nobody saw that coming...right? 😐

Well, I will at least say that PJ looked better than Sam this preseason.  He could at least move the ball.  I know that is not saying much, but let's face it....if Baker goes down the Panthers are picking in the top 5 again whether it is Sam or PJ at QB2.

Oh no doubt, not expecting to sway you, just wanted to (hopefully) alleviate some of the concern as those injuries are going to happen regardless, but at least with the preseason there are reduced injuries overall.

You are right though that it still absolutely blows to lose a monster to a game that won't count on the stat sheet.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
