A lot riding on today’s game. If the Panthers look unprepared like they did in the preseason, the pile on will begin. If the Panthers look good, the playoff talk will resume. 

Playoffs? Remember 2021 with Rhule when we started 3-0? There was talk of bye weeks and how we could get the top seed.

I don't understand why folks are so up in arms over preseason. We were told they were going to put players in no win situations. None of us no what they wanted, or if they got what they were looking for. Evaluation.

Well, seems to have played out about the same as we saw in preseason, didn't it? This is why people were concerned. Same poo, different game, different coaching staff, different QB.

I’ve listen to a ton of nfl/sports podcast and one thing I’ve noticed over the last month is that the preseason performance has completely shifted everyone opinion on us. Guys like Bill Simmons, Cowherd, Simms,  the PFF and bootleg football have all soured on the team. At one point they were all saying we might be sneaky playoff team 2 months ago, now we are giving the bears a top 5 pick and finishing last in the south 

 

Never knew people put that muck stock into preseason

I mean, nobody really does but I will say in the last decade when the panthers look like poo in preseason they generally look like poo when the season starts.

But it wasn't the same poo. The O-line looked like a pro Online today. Moreover, we didn't have a turnover problem in the preseason. And, our starters on the D-line actuallyade a difference.

Our problem today was largely inexperience and a lack of chemistry. If you tell that the rookies should've been given more snaps during the preseason, or that maybe Reich should have opened it up a little more, then I'd say that's about the only substantive way that preseason maybe affected us. Going 0-3 in the preseason was largely meaningless.

I think it was a big mistake to limit the plays of starters in preseason. You see above and before that preseason was for evaluation. Obviously, not showing our hand to Atlanta was meaningless but it sure looked like our chemistry and preparation needs more work. With a rookie and new staff and all the low expectations we’ve now been told, the preseason was more important for us to get our poo together instead of hiding our great plays. Hiding means you think we can get to the playoffs and need wins in weeks 1 and 2. Conflicting messages.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
