Good article. 1 oversight, not realizing Ron Edwards is out for the season. Other than that, pretty fair opinions.

To be honest, the signing of Ron Edwards seemed more like a last-minute response to a lack of bodies at the defensive tackle spot. Hardly an elite player, but you can put him on the field and he won’t let you down. Unfortunately for the Panthers, Edwards is already out for the season with a torn triceps.
They got the Edwards part right.

Maybe it was edited in after you made your post?

edit: beaten like a government mule :(

sounds about right.. this team is going to have it's growing pains.. a lot to look forward to though..

if anything, I think they overlooked our DT play.. I'm feeling really good about Irving, Fua, and especially McClain.. Neblett is in his 2nd year and had a few good plays in the preseason game..

we'll see though, entirely too early to tell..

As the old guard here knows, I am quite the optimist as far as the Panthers are concerned but I truly believe that Newton is the X factor that nobody can prepare for or predict. One SEC head coach described him as an "act of God". :Angel_anim:

IF we have even half decent QB play this team will be a beast! It already looks like Rivera is living up to his "defensive guru" moniker (so far)and Chud is just what we've been looking for here for so many years, offensive creativity.

I would like all the naysayers to remember 1996.

Very honest and objective article. Very positive. That X factor could push us over the top, maybe even continue the NFC South tradition, worst to first. :out:

    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
    • But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
