NEWFOUND MOTIVATION: Although the Panthers showed him plenty of respect by giving him such a huge contract, Johnson still has found a source of motivation from some of his critics this week.

Johnson said he’s heard some in the media suggest his huge season as a first-year starter (11.5 sacks) is more an anomaly than a sign of things to come.

When asked if he expects opposing teams to focus on him more this year after the numbers he put up last year, Johnson said fired away sarcastically. “I don’t know, man, people say I’m a one-hit wonder so I don’t think they are going to be looking at me like that. I’m going to earn my money.”

Yep, he’s still got a chip on his shoulder, and plans to use those comments as motivation this season.

This was the 2nd most encouraging thing to me...

GLAD TO SEE SMITH BACK: David Gettis said he was thrilled when he found out through his mother that fellow WR Steve Smith was returning to the team.

“I love it. That’s my big brother,” Gettis said. “I wanted to be quiet throughout the offseason on that, but for him to be here is great for us, and it’s great for him. We love having him around the meeting rooms and I really look up to him.”

Smith said he’s seen the offensive playbook and loves it. In particular he said there are “seven to 10 plays” he can’t wait to run in practice.

    • Yeah. Probably will be close. I am not rooting for anyone don’t really care that much.   Same for the AFC game, don’t really care. Except it is Sean Payton, I always like it when he loses.  But it’s New England, I can’t root for them. It’s going to be 23 degrees at kickoff in Denver, wind will 12-15mph, dropping to 13 degrees by 7pm with snow predicted to start before halftime. 
    • Most people will agree with this in principle. But it's situational and also depends on the results you're getting. We were middle of the league in sacks given up. Had the 27th passing offense. And if a few instances that went our way turned out differently we very likely could have been staring at another 5 win season. For the highest salary cap percentage to the OL in the entire league. While we had basically nothing at linebacker and not much at all consistent pass rush to speak of as we were leaning on two rookies. And despite all that our defense which has been on a lopsided end of investment compared to the offense managed to go from league worst and giving up historic single season points in 2024 to middle of the league in 2025 which is quite impressive all things considered. So yes the investment in the OL versus the results certainly matters or at least to should to anyone that would like to continue to improve and also maybe finally win another playoff game.
    • Still think that if Carson Beck is there on Day 3 you have to take him. QB depth in drafts has been atrocious as of late but what he is good at translates very well to what the Panthers need a QB to do.
