"It doesn't matter win or loss, it matters the way they went about their business tonight."

--John Harbaugh (in this video)

 

That's what the point of preseason is, and what determines that are the goals that are set by the coaches.

Harbaugh, just like you are trying to do in this thread, is really using a straw man. No one here is saying that preseason doesn't matter, and I personally have never seen a reporter write that preseason doesn't matter. Everyone knows it matters, but wins and losses in preseason are largely not the measure of "success" during the regular season. 

Everyone knows that preseason games matter to the guys who are actually trying to develop and prove that they deserve to be in the NFL.

No dog in this fight either way but there are literally dozens of posters claiming preseason doesnt matter.  The freaking official panther twitter said as much

They are referring to preseason wins and losses. Anyone trying to suggest otherwise is being pretentious.

looking good and executing during the games matter. for the record, panthers are not currently doing this either. 

get this man a steak dinner... perfectly summarized... No one is upset with a W or L in preseason but anyone with eyes and a brain attached to those eyes who sees 11 men getting their asses kicked and poo effort will have serious concerns and to punt that off as "its just preseason" is reckless

So there has been no proficient execution? I think you're wrong. There has been inconsistency of execution, but some of these guys have proven that they can execute at a high level.

People are just pushing back on the idea that some here, including OP, seem to have that you can essentially declare the season over based on preseason.

The purpose of preseason most years is to give starters a few reps but focus on developing the bottom part of your roster and the practice squad. With all the turnover we were more in need of not just that but playing time to gel all the players and staff and give Bryce significant reps as well as see what we had in Corral. If we were about scoring points we would have played Dalton like the Jets did Wilson for a whole half or the Giants did with Taylor. 

Executing and getting experience definitely needed. Looking good in August. Totally irrelevant if most of those guys won't be on your roster after next Tuesday.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
