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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
