As if this was anything new...

Asked if the team would throw more often this season, Davidson (Panther's OC) flatly said "no" to Steve Reed of Carolinagrowl.com. "The major push for is us when a defense is making us throw it, we have to be efficient when they are doing that to us," Davidson said.

Davidson says he's not worried about the passing game's struggles in the preseason, and that the starting job opposite Steve Smith remains open to competition. (Dwayne Jarrett and rookie Brandon LaFell remain the leading contenders.)

Only two teams ran the ball at a higher percentage than the Panthers last year. According to the Football Outsiders Almanac, only one team passed the ball less when ahead on the second half.

Not a bad thing, this is why our we will be much better on offense when the season starts, because the only thing that stopped our ground game last season was Jake intercept o!

This isn't Florio's horrid opinion. i could have posted the article from carolina growl, but its basically the same thing. no apologizes from me this time

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      Yes. It's fluff time anyways but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't believe this mix has ever worked for the Panthers before. Break .500 and then start the hype.

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.
