Last pre-season game


The Guy

Recommended Posts

I know that most of the time the starters really dont play that much the final pre-season game, and sometimes they dont play at all. With some of the struggles we have been having on offense do you think our first team O will play a few downs, or maybe even a quater? Or will the 2nd teamers play most of the game?

I'm not all that worried about the O because its preseason and key players are out blah blah blah, but no TD's all pre-season is sort of disappointing. I figure this thread will be a nice little break from "Moore sux11!!!1111!" threads. Go Panthers.

Yeah, with the age of the team and the "struggles" I wouldn't be surpised if the offence plays a little longer than usual. But keep DWill out and get the starting defence out pretty quickly....they have proven themselves and deserve a little rest, because they are gonna get a workout during the season.

I think Moore needs 2 series at least. Clausen needs a Qtr or more, to get more game experience. (Is the writing on the wall for Cantwell, I noticed they even had Pike carrying the clipboard Sat. night.) Cantwell and Pike split the rest of the game, I'm thinking Pike to the PS and Cantwell released.

I would like to see Gettis and Guy get some time with the first and second teams, Gettis made some nice grabs and and showed he can take a shot and hold on to the ball.

No way is Carolina going in to the season with only 2 QBs on the roster. Pike will probably go to the PS while Cantwell is the #3. Remember the #3 QB is not included in the active 45-man game day roster.

They are not included on the 45 man active day roster, but they are on the 53 man limit.

AE could be the emergency 3rd QB, while Pike or Cantwell to the PS...with the other being released.

Saves a slot on the 53 man roster...needed to possibly carry 6 WR's and a KO Specialist.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
