Most important 4th preseason game in memory....

For the life of me I can't remember a more interesting or important 4th preseason game for the Panthers. Typically the cuts are already decided before the game, but I don't think so this year. Espescially at WR, I think a great performance tonight could take an individual off the cut list and back on the keep list.

If the WR's are dogging it tonight like last week, they all should be cut. It could not be more clear that they should be showing their best out there.

Well spoken. I see some intense competition at CB as well. CJ Wilson, McClain, Witherspoon, Stanford. Don't know why we'd keep 5 (suggested by Gantt) since Pugh can play CB as well. If not, we might see McClain step into the 4th CB role.

Back to WR: I don't know how you evaluate Charly Martin in comparison to those who have had the entire camp to show progress, but regardless of what happens tonight, I expect a lot of 2-TE sets with Barnidge and Rosario for a while.

It is going to be a big game and a make or break one for a number of players. I know that's a cliche that every sportscaster trots out, but it really has the feel of it this time. Tonight's show is pretty much the WR corps, special teams and the right side of our O-line.

Whoever remains among the WRs after tonight should see a better chance to be open and catch some balls as Smitty comes back for the regular season. They just can't afford to think that way tonight. We need someone to realize that this is their shot at stardom and really push themselves to the next level.

Fox is praying deep down that his starters score an offensive touchdown so he can declare mission accomplished and pull them out. Otherwise, I expect them in there longer than most other teams.

I don't know, isn't Dallas talking about keeping their starters in the whole first half?

They suck worse than we do yet most the power rankings have them in the top 5???

LMAO...they suck!!!

P.S. Hope my better half doesn't read this

On topic, I think you're right Zod, time for someone to step up!

The important thing is, are the WRs awful because of their lack of talent/skill/motivation/etc. or is it QB play as well? I think Moore should stick around for at least the 1st quarter, maybe even till half. If he can't sustain one drive for a TD then Clausen deserves time to see what he can do with the same WRs and Oline

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
