At the half: Panthers 16, Giants 14

Who knew?

In the second quarter, the defense began to leak, and QB Matt Moore moved the team sharply downfield, to take a 16-14 halftime lead over the Giants.

Moore wasn't particularly sharp early, 3-of-9 passing for 32 yards and an interception.

But on the final drive of the half, he looked at ease, completing 4-of-5 passes for 50 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith.

That's the first time the offense has found the end zone this summer, after a preseason drought.

The Panthers gave up a few downfield passes to the Giants, but keep getting their hands on as many.

LB James Anderson had an interception, after LB Jon Beason and CB Captain Munnerlyn had balls ping off their hands in a five-play sequence.

The Panthers are going to create more turnovers if coordinator Ron Meeks gets his guys on the Jugs machine after practice.

Of course, they looked sloppy late in the period, with back-to-back pass interference calls setting up a 19-yard touchdown to Hakeem Nicks, which seemed to get the crowd interested before Moore hit his stride.

      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.
