I cant even remember any of the high dollar defensive players names being called much.  This game was bad for the offense but even more so for the defense.  Allowing a division rival to run up the score is inexcusable.  Defense is suppose to be the stength of the team and it was god awful today.

Brown is the only high dollar defensive player.

This unit has been gutted and all of the resources invested in the offence (what we've paid those two OGs is obscene).

There's very little NFL talent on that side of the ball this season.

I thought the run D would be much better. I don’t know. I honestly half heartedly watched it and just got to the point I didn’t want to rewatch much so I didn’t get a lot of out it. 
 

If I did rewatch I would try to find a couple of spots where guys made business decisions after the score got to a place. 

As far as OP, I never thought that the defense was considered a strength this year. It was downgraded and they admitted they are waiting for someone to take the job in two positions. 
I might be able to stomach watching later this week because it is something I’d like to look at… how the defense did. 
 

I wasn’t too upset when it went to 7-0 because I missed the busted TD play. I had figured NO would do well with the first scripted set of plays.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
