There is no correlation between dominating preseason and dominating in the regular season. Also, in years past you had these guys who were starters throwing 50+ passes in preseason. Bryce has thrown how many? 

If the starting QBs were on the field for like 12 drives in preseason, starters now get like 5. 

You often have rookie defensive ends make little to no impact during preseason and then they have 7.5+ sacks as a rookie. 

 

DJ Moore is a terrible preseason player. Yet he almost always puts up 1k yards in the regular season. DJ has 1 catch off of 1 target for a 62 yard touchdown in Chicago this year. He never caught a TD in any other preseason with us. And his 62 yards this year is only lower than his 75 yards in his rookie year. And in his rookie year he only caught 4 of the 12 passes thrown his way. 

And there are countless examples of guys like this.

You guys are taking statements and trying to remove context. Winning and losing in preseason? Absolutely DOES NOT MATTER. Effort matters, sure. But you also need to remember that this is preseason and that is has no bearing on predicting how a player will perform in the regular season.

Who?  Who have you seen perform at a high level through 2 games?

Dude, I'm not just looking at two preseason games.

Ickey did damned well last season. Do you think he just forgot how to play? Do you think Shaq, Woods, Jones, Bozeman, T-mo and even some of the others have forgotten how to play at a high level based upon two fuging preseason games? Do you think guys like Campen have forgotten how to coach? I'm asking you too @Stumpy.

If this is what you believe, then I have nothing for you.

How many times have we as Panthers fans witnessed firsthand players "forgetting how to play" (aka regressing) due to poo coaching?

Damn near every player on our team "forgot how to play" under Rhule. Then, they all magically remembered once he was fired. 

We had a coach who knew how to maximize the talent of his players. Unfortunately, Tepper is a shrewd enough business man to recognize that half his teams fan base would rather lose with a white man in charge than win with a fiery black man at the helm.

We strung Wilks along for months when they had no intention of hiring him and brought in a soft spoken white preacherman who makes the fans feel more comfortable.

We were damn near a playoff team last season with only 10 weeks of solid coaching. Daboll turned around the Giants from day 1. Meanwhile,we got fans ready to sign up for another one of Jay Z's patented 7 year plans...

This is such an absolutely stupid take.

Wilks wasn't the OL coach. Campen was and is. It took Ickey a few games last year. New offense so probably expect the same 

It's what preseason is for after all

Let's just all hold on until Sept. 10. Then all of this either won't matter or we can say it really did.

And then we can move on, because we have to. The real season starts, the real team takes the field, the real results happen and the real consequences or rewards play out.

They did not forget how to play. Don't get a losing record, bad coaching, sketchy QB play, injuries and such mixed up with forgetting how to play.

Huh, so what you are saying is that a bad coach can make players look worse than they are...?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
