The problem with preseason is some guys go hard some don't and you just don't know who is who.

If I was a for sure starter I would be just trying to make it to the season where my efforts count. Its good to get out there and run a little but no need to go all out.

This is kinda my take. You know it's hard for some of these guys to go all out for a meaningless game.

A friendly reminder from the Panthers longtime RB...

 

Again, it's preseason. The 4-0 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns went 0-16 the regular season. The 1-4 2009 Colts went 1-3 in the preseason and 14-2 in the regular.

Is there work to be done? Of course. Perhaps the players are only putting half effort to minimize injuries, but o-line protection confusion and certain 1v1 looks have looked bad.

But then again, preseason is the best time to show these weaknesses, because that allows coaches to prepare to scheme/coach these deficiencies before the regular season.

The goal of preseason? Evaluate, get out healthy, and learn what weaknesses exist and adjust for it. Good teams don't play to win in preseason, they play to get reps to their players and evaluate.

Come regular season, if the Panthers look bad, feel free to panic.

For now, no matter how the preseason ends up, the Panthers will be 0-0 when the regular season starts, and then is where I expect improvement and schematic adjustments for the Panthers strengths. That's when you can actually get a grasp at what kind of team the Panthers are.

 

 

Going to trust Stew on this. The overreaction/panic and hate on this board today is nuts.

Let's calm down...remember happy days....like the day Rhule was fired.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
