I'd like to know what people expect out of this game this weekend... who do you feel will be the stand out player, will any rookie's make themselves noticed?

I feel like David Gettis is the rookie that is ready to have a break out game and step up. He's slowly improved every game, he's getting open, making great catches, making the "should be" catches too.

Your opinions?

I expect a breakout game for the defense..maybe a defensive score. The bears oline is gaudy and collins might not have all the timing down needed. Offensively, obviously we expect Clausen to improve at least a little every week. I also expect the running game to continue to improve.

I'm hoping Armanti and Clowney break out. But I have two wildly different sets of "break out" for each of them.

For Armanti I hope he plays with confidence and doesn't look like a chicken with his head cut off. I'm looking for maybe one or two plays that justify the praise he gets for his explosiveness and athleticism. I've only seen him at camp and the during the preseason and I'm hoping he'll be somewhat comfortable with NFL speed by Sunday.

For Clowney I hope he can adjust to our offense and add some "veteran-ness" to our offense and use that incredible speed to add something to our WR corps.

Above all I want the team as a whole to add onto what I thought was a good foundation last week. We have shown that we're not absolutely horrible and now its time for everyone to put their Big Boy Pants and get that Dub.

Bradshaw put up 129 at 5.6 a carry with 1 TD and Jacobs (SUCKS BTW) had 62 at 10.3 a carry with 1 TD......I really think we can run better then those two. Big day in the running game and if Clausen can hit a few good passes this weekend......We may have a WIN!!!

I hope we can. Before that NYG game, the Bears gave up NOTHING on the ground. Like 30 yds a game or some crazy stat. Now it's like 77 yds a game. I think they'll retool and get their act together. This game is going to be on Jimmy.

Det did not run well against them, however they had two rushing TD's against the Bears.

Dallas was "Pass Happy" passing all game and for some reason passed for 51 times to 18 run plays.

Packers had 18 penalties that made them have to throw the enter game to get back into good "Down and Distance". (Plus it was the B. Jackson experiment.)

NYG was the first team that actually tried to run against the bears with 29 run plays to 30 pass plays.

You may be correct about their Run-D but it seems to me they have only had one team really test them this (early) season.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
