After three: A lead for the home team

Hold onto your hats.

The Carolina Panthers have a lead, and they have David Carr in for the other side.

The Panthers eclipsed their season scoring average (10.4) with John Kasay's 55-yard field goal early in the third. That gave them a 13-10 edge, their first lead at home all year.

They also knocked 49ers QB Alex Smith out of the game, putting Carr in charge. He was wearing no gloves, but otherwise looked like the guy who went 1-3 here as the starter in 2007.

Smith suffered a shoulder sprain when sacked by Panthers DE Charles Johnson.

Panthers WR Steve Smith left with leg cramps, and then cramped their style when he came back. He killed a chance to add to the lead with a personal foul and a fumble.

The 49ers are about to line up for a field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter.

    • It's a failing of most first time HCs. I get an OC not being a defensive expert but they do play the other side every week so it always amazes me that poop slides so often. First year? Sure but as time goes on they need to be a HC and have a balanced and good team in the end. They went offense for that reason and the QB issues the team had. They had to go WR again this year because they failed so hard last year at that position in the first. That's on both the HC and GM on that miss IMO. This year they went out and got a bunch of free agents and drafted more on the D. It just doesn't appear they did it well again. Add in keeping Evero and missing out on an expensive free agent, thankfully but it would have lessened the cap gap in spending, it's not like they didn't try. It's more of an issue of competency than cap. Building around Evero after last year is damning for thr GM and HC. That's the biggest issue. They just didn't do any of it well. Now they have some younger talent and I don't think there is a decent coach in that house.
    • Inside linebacker is basically non existent. And that goes against everything that has been Carolina Panthers for a couple decades now. And that is just one such area that has suffered as we have paid through the nose to build up our offense around a bad investment.
    • Thats why its going to suck spending another top 10 pick on a qb instead of an elite Lb, pass rusher or whatever.  but it what it is and you have to have a qb to win in this league
