Not sure I agree. Desmond Ridder is basically a rookie and Dennis Allen is a bottom 5 coach

Riddler has a year in the system and they are on a run team.  Carr is the best qb in the division right now.   Expecting to win the division is crazy talk.  We have a rookie qb and a paper thin defense.  It's going to take about a season.

I know it's only preseason, but we had most of our offensive starters playing against their #2s. We also had zero energy or enthusiasm on offense. I know it was like 100° down there, but I would have liked to see a little more effort. Even BY looked like he didn't want to be there. Not hitting the panic button just yet, but Im going to need to see a big change next week. I just want entertaining football. Is that too much to ask? We have been so boring to watch for so long now.

Preseason games don’t count and the score would be marginally closer if it weren’t for going for it on fourth down.

But that’s the most inept Panthers preseason performance since 2010. They looked like they hadn’t practiced all year and it’s not a good sign the starters were letting their backups move the ball at will on the first possession. Granted I didn’t expect this team to win a lot of games this year and key guys were out, but that was an inexcusable performance.

I will say I hate the 3-4 and aside from 1996 it’s been a failure every season it’s used here. I counted one QB pressure the whole game and it was the sack by Barno. Nobody came close to pressuring any of their QBs and the off coverage presented 5-8 yard gains every snap, not including the inevitable broken tackle. Third down and fourth down defense was abysmal. Offensively, Corral had some plays that would make Randy Fasani blush.

I’m not as doom and gloom today about the performance in general, but I will be concerned if we don’t fix the right guard spot until Corbitt comes back.

all the stunts that got pressure came from the right guard spot. There was one where Michael Jordan completely whiffed in picking up the defensive end that stunning inside and got in Moton’s way.

People can say it doesn’t matter but if I’m an opposing DC, I just run stunts all day against this line, and you’ve got 7-10 sacks and a shutout most every week.

Yeah honestly, the only thing I’m “concerned” about is how they end up settling the RG situation. Everything else is a wash imo. And while it is embarrassing to lay an egg in general, I really can tell they went out there with the intention of being as vanilla as possible.

For 1. Offensively, there was no pre snap motion at all. Anybody who’s listened to Frank and Thomas talk or even seen any amount of  training camp clips knows that motion is a big part of the offense. They didn’t show motion at all yesterday. It was legit just line up and go. So I don’t expect that to carry over. 
 

2. The defense was playing basic coverages/pressure schemes yesterday too. Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t see any of the Evero defenses staples last night, those being sim pressures, exotic coverage looks, stunts, etc. 

Just trying to put perspective out there and why I do actually believe what Frank said about them intentionally being generic. I think as fans we have a right to be disappointed in laying a goose egg BUT there’s a line between being disappointed and acting like the first game of preseason is the end all be all. The main thing to be concerned about IMO is the iOL play, but like offense/defense scheme stuff is way to early to be panicking about.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
