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

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
