Defense. Brown. 

Honorable mention on D - Burns has a really good game.  Luvu and Jackson also played well.

Offense. Bryce.  Looked very confident.  Had some of those wow plays I saw earlier in the year.

Honorable mention on O - Chubba.  Chark.

Mays played well at LG and Gabe Jackson was solid despite some penalties.

Yeah maybe it was the wind/rain but those passes looked awful. The only one that looked anything like a deliberate NFL caliber throw was the amazing catch by Chark

He was throwing against massive wind gusts in the rain.  I know some of them didn't look rifled in there but you are throwing against the wind and also trying to make the ball as catchable as possible in the pouring rain.  Cam Newton throwing lasers in that weather wouldn't work either.

Ridder had several throws that were dropped that he put too much mustard on given the conditions...

I think you are massively underestimating how hard it would be to balance throwing the ball with touch in these conditions and fighting the elements.  Every single player and coach knows how impressive that final drive was... it's amazing the amount of hate people can have against something so beautiful...

LOL literally eveyone talked about how Cam could never throw with touch a decade ago... I'm convinced so many people here just don't want to be happy.

Except his throws look like that in good weather too, as I said. And who said I'm not happy? As I've said time and time again, recognizing the objective reality doesn't equate to unhappiness. The offense played like absolute ass for nearly the entire game, Bryce looked pathetic until he quacked him a few throws to inexplicably wide open receivers on the final drive (great catch by Chark), and thanks to Ridder being the biggest bonehead of the days Carolina pulled one out.

A W in the column, same story on the field just with an opponent who was even more inept today. Ultimately though, makes no difference to me.

I definitely agree about his passes in good weather too it’s just hard to compare. 
 

I don’t understand how his arm has looked this weak this year compared to college. I can’t see how the velocity you can put on the ball could change this much. It’s hard to feel optimistic about him long term if his shoulder is this weak as a young man coming from a college with NFL caliber(maybe better) training staff.

It looks the same to me, but with the NFL being faster on the whole the ball looks slower. I don't understand how the team watched that same film and thought it would improve enough to be NFL level on a consistent basis.

On topic, the defense and OL get game balls from me.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
