In the past 5 years, we've only done it once and with the way we struggled against the run last season I believe we will carry 5 DTs rather than 5 DEs.

Any team out there as long as the Panthers were last season would struggle with the run. They were wore down by half time, and most of the time in there own side of the 50.

In Meeks scheme, from what I observed, if the DE made an inside move, the linebacker had contain on that side. We didn't have the tackle slide out and fill the edge but instead they took an inside route as well to limit the damage in the middle. With a tight end taking out the strong side linebacker and the fullback taking out the strong safety, they had nothing but green in front of them. At any rate three or four yards was a given.

No DE says give up the edge but when you are lined up across from the tackle and you know you have to get pressure yourself because there isn't going to be a blitz, the focus is making a quick move one way or the other. It makes it easy to get ridden out of the play. There was no misdirection, no stunts, no overloads, nothing. We didn't have the personnel to dominate the line and make plays. Pretty basic and easy to exploit.

That pretty much sums up our whole football team last season.

It was the same scheme the Colts won the Superbowl with. And make no mistake, thier defense was a big reason they have a ring. Peyton Manning didn't play particularly well at all in those play off games, but their defense was great against the run once the post season started.

Needs another year to determine that, 2 yrs is too soon to rate an undersized DE and I want to see what Rivera does with him.

not sure why people think 2 years is a big enough sample size to determine how good a player can be..

James Anderson just had a really good year last year.. he's been on the team for 5 years??? and everyone thought he should have been cut long ago...

people need to expand their perspective a little bit and realize no matter how much money players get or how competitive the NFL becomes, that doesn't mean the human race has just evolved within the last 2-3 years to become bionic to keep up with unrealistic fan's expectations.. get a fuging clue.

who EVER said they wanted Anderson cut? I feel like the overall feeling was they they wanted him to finally get his shot. He never did anything to deserve to be cut, at a 3rd round salary he was a valuable member of the team.

E.Brown isn't a rookie. Saying that a rookie not drafted as high named Greg Hardy had a better rooke season then both of Brown seasons. I'm happy Norwood gets a chance to compete for Brown's spot and playing time. I still think Norwood is better suited for a 3-4 formation

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
