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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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
