incredible how the panthers season is over two games in vanilla preseason! clearly this is the panthers best and limit.

if the panthers look like this the first few games of the regular season, sure, you can start panicking. but poo, it's preseason football. overanalyzing what amounts to 1v1s, simple playcalling and tryouts for fringe roster guys is simply unproductive.

Not analyzing anything.  Scheme and actual calls made to win a game is going to make a huge difference, but the thing that is troubling about what we're seeing is a lot of guys are getting beat 1 on 1 and off effort.  We're just getting outplayed...  and the "vanilla" poo only goes so far as an excuse, because the other teams aren't calling their plays either but they're still whooping our ass handily.

I had convinced myself we had a real NFL coaching staff but now I'm beginning to wonder if we actually fired Rhule and company because this does not look like a decently coached team.

I never bought the superstar staff narrative but I think it's a little ridiculous to attempt to judge coaching in the preseason

Those brushing this off don't get it. These guys are getting beat head up on basic plays. You can't just flip a dang switch when the games start counting.

This. Anyone saying “it’s just preseason herp derp” and thinking that week one everything will magically work need mental help. Fundamentals are ass across the board.

I don't care how vanilla it is, I still would expect some pro level play. We are bad on both sides of the ball and short draft picks next year to boot. 

again, come regular season if the first few games show the same as preseason, then I'll join the doom and gloom wagon.

i could care less about who wins in the preseason, chances are the coaches are just using it as an evaluation style scrimmage as they should.

i would suspect that come regular season, these coaches will understand the deficiencies carolina beholds and likely will scheme and adjust for such.

i'd much rather see sloppiness and crap in the preseason, bc it's the perfect time to analyze weaknesses. if they gameplanned and actually tried scheming, well those weaknesses would be masked, and they wouldn't be able to adjust in time.

so yeah, i'm on the train of thought the coaches understand that and will scheme and adjust for it when games matter. if they don't, then i'll join the wtf wagon.

Well, I was really excited about this season. But I'll have to accept that this will be a "growing experience" this season. New coaches, players and whatnot. Too many other good teams out there. I'll hope to see us get better as the season progresses.

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
