I think it's definitely fair to be disappointed in getting shut out at home, it does suck. However, it's the first preseason game and the offense was EXTREMELY vanilla. Reich said the staff really doesn't want to show anything which is understandable. 

Im kinda worried about the RG spot, like they have to get that cleaned up and the O-line HAS to be better. Not only in the pass game, but they are struggling to create lanes in the run game. I'm ultimately in wait and see mode. 

I'd just like to see better effort next week.

I feel like this is the physical manifestation of the 'it may take some time' reality that some folks so vehemently talked down on. There are fans that really set themselves up for big disappointment and it's not necessarily because things suck, because who knows how it will all come together, but it may simply take at least this season to fully turn things over.

Hopefully things come back down to Earth a little bit and a broader definition of success can be realized.

and our defense looked bad against an offense that had been playing them all week. You can say that about both teams. Expectations got too high for most of us though. Tepper has never owned the Panthers when they had a winning record. Probably a trend that will continue. He has to be one of the worst owners in the NFL based on winning percentage. We could still win the NFC South.

It's preseason. Cam Newton's rookie preseason wasn't stellar yet he ran out the gate with 400 yarders the first two games.

2015 the Dolphins had their way with us in preseason and joint practices. They looked by far the better team at the time. Panthers ended up 15-1 in the regular season while Dolphins were poo.

We dominated preseason the first drive in 2016 vs the Ravens with Cam Newton marching downfield. That season we ended 6-10 with abysmal WR and oline play.

Vanilla plays, vanilla concepts, glorified practice that everyone learns from and where certain things are tested since it's largely meaningless. 

Not concerned whatsoever.

      Another, Another Bryce Breakdown

      Fair, sure.  Still not worthy of the #1 pick and still has major issues.  And you absolutely have to be concerned that for bryce to make a nfl caliber throw the conditions have to be optimal around him.  And those sacks around the 10 minute mark are just brutal to watch.

      But his arm wasn't destroyed due to his throwing motion, it was from essentially two hits / injuries.  Tackle to prevent a pick 6 due to a lazy Benjamin route in 2016.  That was the start of having to be on a pitch count in practice.  2018 TJ Watt hit after Cam had already adjusted his mechanics and was having his best year statistically speaking, although I remember even that year questioning if he can still sling it deep.

      Arm elasticity and arm strength are not the same thing.  There are some who have great arm strength but can't deliver off platform throws, sidearm, etc,  due to lack of elasticity.  I am concerned about Bryce's arm strength to deliver the ball when the anticipation throws aren't there and you simply need to fire a ball into a tight window.  Not sure that can ever be part of this game.  He does have good arm elasticity which is what made him special in college, throwing the ball on the move, that should serve him well in the NFL especially when he gets outside of the pocket.  My biggest concern is standing in the pocket, pressure in the face and not being able to set his feet will affect him more than others due to his height and arm strength.
