Never in the history of the Panthers franchise has any preseason game been so overly criticized. 

And there have been worse games. 

that's one of the repercussions of hiring an all star coaching staff, trading picks and players away for the #1 pick, all these goofy hype videos, memes, gifs, etc.

you do all that, get blanked AND made look silly?

woo boy

I watched the draft room live that night whenever they cut to the Panthers There was a lot of activity that didn't make the Blueprint in the Panthers draft room. Fitterer was working the phone before Nolan went off the board and when his name was called his expression told me he was not happy about it.  I'm not saying they weren't going to take Mingo had they pulled off getting Nolan.  But Fitterer wanted Nolan pretty bad. 

Ahhh, I hear ya. I can see them definitely making it look like they were set and in love with every pick on the Blueprint.

Its always a crap shoot with a rookie qb and a razor thin defense.  Not sure why people simply dont understand this

 

Probably because most folks don't agree with the "Razor thin Defense". Most think we have a shot at a top 10ish Defense. 

 

All we need from the Offense is to be steady and limit the turnovers.

i think it was kind of obvious that the jets weren't in evaluation mode to the degree that we were. they schemed. we didn't. we had no need to. 

this is one of the things i hate about preseason games. it's rare that both teams have the same objective. one of the many things that made belichick such a punk was that preseason games were treated the same way as regular season games, which isn't fair to the team who is just wanting to do some evaluating.  it was dangerous and they came after cam big time. 

repeating myself, we were shut out and blown out because the jets were in it to win and make up for a loss in the HoF game and for looking bad in the joint practices. jets also had to make it look good for hard knocks. 

we should have been better, for sure, but let's not pretend that the jets weren't much more motivated to look better than we were to look good against the other team.

This is very dismissive of how bad ALL of our depth chart looked. Starters looked bad, 2nd looked bad, 3rd looked bad. They all looked bad. That isn't scheming. That's just being the less talented team.

What else can they do? The only true 1st choice they made was Bryce.  After that it was the best available among their wants and needs. They wanted Mingo pretty bad as well but they willing to take someone else had Mingo gone the pick before.  They had a plan in place for anything that happened but I'm certain Nolan was plan A.

We have no pass rush depth, no linebacker depth and absolutely no corner depth.  I would say that is the epitome of a "razor thin defense".

If you feel this way about the defense which I view as our strength. I would hate to see how you feel about the offense.

 

Im assuming you think we will be a bottom 5 team this season correct?

we should win 7,8 games this year, 9 if we stay healthy and catch some breaks but more then likely 7 wins

It's okay. You can let that fear of the past go. It's a new dawn, it's a new day. Let's see what happens when the actual games start before we downplay our players. 

 

That said. You are one of the most negative posters around. Hard to take your criticisms seriously.

 

Edit to ask: How many of our depth guys can you even name. Let alone make proclamations about their ability.

I’m not so sure about that. I can’t locate every preseason game in our history..  but none I found , had a more Lackluster offense , and keep a preseason defense on the field so long.. lost by 27.

Yeah, we looked pretty bad.. Thanks goodness it’s preseason.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
