Panthers fans mocking Stroud for losing that badly to the Ravens should not throw stones from glass houses. I've seen some things as of recently that make me hopeful for the future but I can pretty safely say all that aside we would not have likely faired much better against a Super Bowl ready team like that either. Neither Houston or Carolina is ready for that yet. Just the reality.

Agree. The Ravens are the absolute worst team for the Panthers defense. But, I thought the Eagles would do the same. So you never know.

I think the Panthers oline would hold up a lot better than Houston's though so we'd actually score, unlike Houston's offense.

Former Huddler that's in Pantherscord posed a very interesting question that will be fun to go back and see the tape to find out:

Did the Texans change from a "first read" offense to a "read and react" offense?

While that puts more on CJ's plate, statistically he looks to be handling it well enough. His OL on the other hand...

30-27 loss vs. defending SB champs < 31-2 loss to Baltimore?

Don't get me wrong, folks using it as an excuse to poo on CJ because they don't like him the way CJ's fans use the alignment of the planets as an excuse to blame anything/everything on Bryce is asinine.

You would be surprised some of the things panther fans on social media say and how confident they are in bryce.

I feel like the Cowboys game is a more appropriate comparison given they're more similar shellackings at a similar point in the season. In both cases a strong pass rush threw off a young QBs ability to read the field well. Imo, Young still outperformed Stroud - in that game in specific.

But we played 2 SB ready teams in the time frame being discussed and lost both by one score. Bryce was good in one, great in the other.

He was not very good vs the Cowboys in that same time frame - maybe better than Stroud vs the Ravens but overall he was very bad.

I was directly addressing another posters claim. Cowboys don’t have anything to do with a discussion over playing SB ready teams

Discord server that spun off from the Panthers subreddit. Actively maintained and organized. Lots of good faith discussion as well. A few of the more knowledgeable posters from here have since moved over there.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
