i would like to see more receivers catching passes....i think everyone would....i hate that hackett keeps getting activated over jarrett.....hackett never catches anything and rarely even gets opportunities to do so...jarrett at least brings size to the table....i guess the coaches feel he is still not ready to be given more opportunities

anyways...my point is not that jarrett should start over hackett.....i just want to know why more people arent catching passes.....is it jake??? i know a lot of people think that.... a lot of people say he only looks for smith.....is it the play calling???? is davidson not making a greater effort to call plays that get others involved???? is it that other receivers arent getting open???? WHAT IS IT!!!????

anybody have thoughts on the subject????

I'm not going to pretend that I know everything, so I don't have an answer for that, but Jake does have a knack for relying on Smitty way too much, and it seems that he's been doing it a whole lot lately. As long as he realizes soon that this sh*t doesn't fly in the playoffs, all will be forgiven. :)

I will be the first to say that Jake does watch Smitty for too long on some plays, this happens IMO because basically all the pass plays are designed around him for the most part, I have seen Rosario,Barnidge and more WIDE on some plays and Jake just has his eyes glued to 89.

And Mega I didn't mean on a personal level, you can't say Jake dosen't look for him, they threw a bomb to him on the first play, he can be just as big of a part of this offense as Smitty.

I'm pretty sure that play to Moose was just written up like that, so it really wasn't a decision during play, but executing a flea-flicker to Moose. He was spreading the ball around early this season and even when Smitty came back, but all of sudden he's been looking smith's way too much. I think he relied on Smitty to help get him out of his funk after the bye, and never looked back.

Y'all can argue with mega all you want, but he does have a point. Jake does lock on Smitty VERY often.

im not arguing with him....im not sure what the answer is....but how do we know that jake is locking onto smitty? i know it seems that way since smith puts up all of the numbers...but since we dont know the plays, how can we tell where jake wants to go with the ball when he drops back??

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
