why preaseason matters


Recommended Posts

Defensive line for sure. Who knows if no one impresses at DT we might still pick someone else up when teams cut down to 53.

Receiver and punt returner/kickoff returner will be big competitions. Hopefully we actually find a returner who can take it to the house. We drafted a ton of guys in the secondary, it will be interesting to see if we come up with more gems like we did with the Captain and Martin.

Finally the second and third spots at quarterback will be very interesting as well.

This will be the most interesting preseason for the Panthers in a long time. We have a young team and we're facing a pretty good lineup, so it's reasonable to expect a rough ride.

I won't be as concerned about going 0-4 this preseason as I was last preseason if that happens. Under the best of circumstances, it's fair to expect some growing pains. The good news is that a young team like ours can improve allot in a short span of time.

pre season does not matter. you only get to see who the better backup is. also, alot of players dont play hard during preseason, skewing the perception of how good the opposing teams players are.

Exactly what everyone said last year, look what happened.

This will be the most exciting preseason in Panthers history, excluding the 1st one.

Agreed, and it might be the most important one since the first too.

To some teams, it isn't as important, and to some the guys need all the work they can get.

Traditionally, I'd normally agree with you. Our Preseason has been reflective of our regular season in terms of what the starters are doing and the backups we keep.

But I have a feeling that with all the changes this year... our preseason is going to be a reversal of what happens when it matters. There are too many people fighting for jobs, which can actually be counter-productive.

Why? When you get that kind of competition to start, there will be a lot of up-front effort in Camp and in the Pre-season games. But once the starters have been decided, that intensity will die down. The starters will relax a bit, and the back-ups will be dismayed for losing the position battle.

Of course, I admit this could be horribly wrong. But lets check back after September and see.

    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
    • If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game 
    • didn't he run like a 4.52?
