With 12 plays, Bryce Young and starters showed real signs of progress

[Carolina Panthers]

The Panthers first team offense had one drive against the Bills, showcasing the things people have been waiting to see in a game.

Really thrilled that they put something together. Way better than seeing the same results from last year. 

even if nothing changes it’s nice to feel a little hope from positive preseason play.

It doesn't take being a coach or player to see that this offense is worlds ahead of what we have seen under Rhule and Reich. When was the last time we used multiple motion looks pre-snap to manipulate the defense. And doing that in the preseason. I think previous coaches tried to simplify things to avoid mistakes. To the point defenses could easily exploit it especially with their poor use of talent as well.

How many players have suddenly looked better than they did before. Add the upgrade in talent and the fact QBs often experience their biggest improvement between year 1 and 2.  And you have a team that will be improved no doubt. The bigger question especially on the offensive side is given how behind we have been compared to competent offenses, will it translate to more wins? But Canales previous successes give me hope. Now let's see what happens.....

Progress towards what? Being competitive against first stringers in real games?

Unironically yes

Yes it's pre season yeah they were backups but let's be real that's the first time since BY was drafted that we looked like an NFL offense the play design the execution ect. It was nice to see I'm very cautiously optimistic Hunt at RG was as advertised if we can keep the line healthy (huge if) I think some great things can happen an elite interior is a smaller QBs biggest plus.

I think Zavala went to the crossroads at midnight and made himself a deal because no one looks as bad as he did last year and goes straight to looking like he could be a player. 

The Bryce part, if his footwork holds up under duress and doesn’t revert to that mess that goes back pre draft, maybe he can stick. 

I do not like sacrificing half the field though, with a rollout offense.

I really like the way Canales is teaching his offense. He has found a way for the players to learn and still be fast. We all know that playing fast is always better than having to think about their responsibilities on each play.

you build an action, once they have that .. then you build onto that action

When we see it against the Saints on the road in the opener we can really start feeling better about the future.

For right now we just have something positive to carry into the next few weeks.

I’ll take some progress right now. Hopefully we get some confidence and momentum for the regular season.

Got around to watching highlights today.  Looked promising.  Sound play designs. 

Still see anxious feet by QB1 but he's looking more confident.  The first Sanders completion was really nice.
