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.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
