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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
