Poor performance in preseason was an indicator of a poor team. It didn't cause the team to be bad 

Exactly. Us playing more starters wouldn’t have made us better either. That would imply we would get better as the season progressed which was not the case.

I hear what you are saying, but what if I told you preseason had little to do with that.  It was more on our staff, OL injuries/terrible play, no weapons, bad QB play, play callers changing back and forth, a toxic environment with members of the staff going behind each others backs, a HC getting fired during the season, plus MANY other factors than not playing in preseason.

Playing our starters during preseason wouldn't have magically made us a better team last year.  We were a complete poo show regardless.  It's why we looked as bad in week 17 and 18 as we did in week 1.  The reps didn't do much...

When you don't prepare properly you're probably going to be unprepared.

We'll see how it goes this year.

Patrick Mahomes is playing again this weekend.  Plan appears to be for a half.  Might was well just pay attention to the folks that matter in the end. 

Josh Allen is playing a quarter + this weekend. 

 

 

Old DG said on a show that 17 starting QBs didn't play PS week 1. (Im surprised)

I still don't care, young is the player that most needs reps. 2-15 teams that should have been 0-17 need reps. Team been playing soft for years, who cares about the weak injuried players. Get some players that can last longer a series or two, PS is easy as its ever been. Hell that don't even put on pads but 16 times around games these days. fuging W-E-A-K BS. 

Even a couple series would be better than zero. Let's not forgot get dave has never called a game with young as his QB.......not to mention he's only got 1 year calling, he needs REPs, live reps with starters as well.

I think I posted that earlier today. It was the Adam Gold show I think. Anyway, I agree about not caring what other teams are doing. The Panthers need the reps and experience.

Regardless of what different people think is the better preseason path the Panthers have set the wheels in motion and raised the stakes by operating as if they are ahead of the curve. If they look unprepared and inept in week 1 the criticism will only be more pronounced. Not playing well at minimum is simply not an option.

We weren’t any more prepared week 18 than we were week 1. Last year was a poo show preseason or not. 

Calling a season a poo show before you even step on the field for even a pre season game is extremely reaching even for a team that was bad the year before. You dont know anything completely until you lineup against an opposing team.

We know now that last year was a poo show. That has happened. Playing more starters in the preseason would not have changed that. So when people say look at last year it’s a moot point. Preseason didn’t cause us to suck. We sucked all year long with 17 games worth of live regular season reps.

Don't be surprised if it looks like a repeat is all I'm saying 

I mean yeah we probably aren’t going to be great this year. We can give the starters more reps in the preseason, but we have a talent issue compared to most other rosters and that can’t really change in the immediate future.

      Mandatory Mini Camp

      Yeah one big factor has been he is surprisingly quite durable. But the reality of that aspect is much of it boils down to plain dumb luck more often than not. Big guys get hurt smaller guys get hurt it happens across the league to anyone to varying degrees. The issue is we are staring down the barrel of a possible top 10 QB salary and Bryce Young is one of the least physically gifted starters in the league. That is not a shot at him it is simply a rational acknowledgment of circumstances. There is a legitimate question to be asked if his window as a starter in this league is smaller as a result because what is going to happen when those hits that he has previously popped right back up from with a smile on his face begin to accumulate as they do for every player that has been in this league? These are just things to consider.

      Canes vs Vegas Gm 5 SCF 8PM

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      This game is a must-win for both teams I feel. For the Canes, you don’t want to go back to Vegas and put them in front of their home crowd with a chance to close out the series. For Vegas, if you drop this game your only chance is to win 2 straight and similarly have to contend with an energized Canes home crowd if you get to a game 7.
