QB

Moore v Manning Advantage: Giants

*Just QB v QB I have to pick Manning here because of the experience. Pass rush, Oline, and coaching will make sure Moore has better game though!

RB

Bradshaw + Jacobs v Jstew and Dwill Advantage: Panthers

*No real news flash here. Bradshaw has taken over the starting job and both are good RB..but both are behind Double Trouble.

WR

Smith, Nicks, Manningham v Smith, Jarrett, LaFell Advantage: Giants

*I know I'm super homer but I think OUR Steve Smith is better then all three of their guys - but he cant be in 3 places (unless hes wearing his braces and gets a million Jules of voltage).

Oline

Advantage: Panthers

*Not going to list the players, but while we will miss Otah Schwartz should be OK if he can get some help vs Tuck.

Dline

Advantage: Giants

*Our no name line will be great if they play like the did in preseason.

Lbackers

Advantage: Panthers

*Beason. Nuff said.

DB and Safety

Advantage: Panthers

*They upgraded their safeties but their corners still suck.

Special Teams

Advantage: Giants

*Sigh.

Coaching

Advantage: Fox

*Fox knows how to beat the Giants and is awesome!

Prediction:

34-11 Panthers. I do not see a low scoring game. I see the first qtr as both teams doing some 3 and out and getting used to the game again, and then I see our side finding the holes and exploiting the heck out of them. My biggest worries our penalties, turnovers, and special teams. I hope we go back to basics and take care of the ball.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
