5 minute video at link. So, after Xavier's glowing report, they proceeded to totally disparage the Panthers.

They've been previewing NFC South teams this week and Wednesday was the Panthers. They predict a 9-8 record, 3rd in the division. Bryce's predraft interview was played. They do not think very highly of our WR room. Did not mention our running game at all. Mentioned the injuries to our guards suggesting we won't be able to keep Bryce protected. (But isn't Brady Christianson back from injury?) Also feel there will be defensive players that won't be able to fit Coach Evero's scheme and that will be a big problem. No details given. Quite pessimistic. No excitement about anything. It was as if they wanted to depress the Panthers' fan base.

Good interview.  Thanks for the link @GRWatcher.  As for the rest of it, the media has no clue about the Panthers.  They have just read a few headlines for years and formed opinions of no real value.  Hope some of that crap makes it to print so it can be bulletin board material.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
