The Panthers Bought The Hype!!!

Take a look at this quote from Jordan Gross.

On what happened after the first drive: Without seeing the tape, that first drive kind of summed up how we thought the game would go. We went right down the field, scored, ran the ball well.

The first drive is how they "thought the game would go." That reeks of overconfidence, which is vastly different from confidence.

It seems that the Panthers believed what many in the media were saying all week. They believed that the Cardinals should just be happy to be there. They believed that they would not have to fight for the game.

Maybe that first drive was the worst thing that could have happened last night.

I think he is just sayin that they expected to play at a high level and win the game in convincing fashion.

Then the 2nd quarter happened.

hell- We all bought the hype- I did. I was confident. I was worried about our defense, but I NEVER would have thought Jake was going to throw 5 INT's

I don't buy that for one second, AK. When you intend to play the game at a high level, you make comments like, "We were going to fight for every yard," and "We were going to work harder than the other team." You don't say that you expected the game to be like your 5-play, 50 yard opening drive that put 7 on the board with ease.

There is a big difference, and I think the Panthers crossed the fine line between confidence and arrogance.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
