Panthers next 2 games

I think its time to move on from the jets game, and focus on what a successful campaign against the titans and steelers will look like in the next two weeks realistically. For me to look at week one with confidence and expect a fight out of the panthers against the giants i would love for this to happen:

1) Matt moore gives us a good 3rd game, i dont mean blow out 5td performance, but a solid 3 quarters against the titans, and i understand that hes basically playing with half the a team out but if he can make those throws sharper and have more pocket awaraness..

2) Kenneth out, Jarret joke, Lafell in= obvious starter in my eye, if he could just come up with a few grabs and soldify his place as 2nd it would make the rest of the puzzle come together= jarret 3rd, moore 4th, wright 5th

3)No more AE handling punts, all munnerlyn, goodson, or whoever,

4) Defense is sick, if they can duplicate that physicallity again I would not worry too much..

so thats it, our problems are fixable, the sky won't fall, if moore and lafell can show a bit of chemistry and the st get their act together it would let make week 1 seem more feasable, its 3 sundays from now, not that far away so hopefully it will all work out in the end.

A few things I am willing to not bet on:

Edwards will be out there fielding punts again.

A guy who didn't get a sack the past two games will get one the next game.

Jarrett will still look like the more reliable receiver, even if he isn't doing spectacular.

LaFell will show that he is a rookie... again (TD pass first game, interception second game).

Moore still won't impress and everyone will start to predict the outcome of the opening game.

I will agree that Jarrett has looked more "reliable" but he is also catching passes that are 4 and 5 yards long...he hasn't done anything to say "I can run routes and catch balls longer than 10 yards".

But isn't that a result of the plays and routes and not really him? I mean, I guess you could ask for YAC, but every catch he made he was covered fairly well.

I think he will be an important 3rd down receiver this season.

I'm coming around! He is catching the ball so hopefully you, and others that have been saying this, are right!

Don't get me wrong; I don't have any special place in my heart for him. There is only room for one WR in my heart, and I think it's obvious who that is.

*Waits for someone to say "Who? Armanti?"*

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
