Looks like we get to face another rookie QB in two weeks (well, third since we got Dalton in the pre-season but whatever).

Hopefully Cam will ball early which forces Ponder to win with his arm instead of letting AP run all over us.

Now we just need Matt Hasselbeck to get benched or hurt for Jake Locker...

That's the game you pick? One where the other running back is one of the best in the league and can single handidly dominate a game? One where their best strength is matched up against our biggest weakness?

They might rename the stadium after the day AP has.

I retract my win.....dang.

Steve Hutchinson will make Fua his little bitch boy and AP will rush for 298.

Any team with a pulse, a running back, and an offensive line scares the bejesus out of me.

Our defense is on the level of a mediocre SEC team right now.

TRD is right. Panthers are gonna have to go up big early to avoid getting thrashed by by Peterson. I could easily see him having 120 yards and 3 touchdowns.

I do think we'll beat the Skins this Sunday.

secondary isn't bad, the LBs are playing average, but the DTackles are terrible. I find it hard to believe that there aren't better players available than Fua/McClain

The only games we can win now are versus rookie QBs? Man has the tune changed around here in the past 2 or 3 weeks. After the Jags game the NFL was officially put on notice and now we look foward to games where rookies are starting for any chnace of a 'W'. I'm certainly glad work has been too busy lately for me to watch the bandwagon fall apart week-by-week.

I'm available. Been making sales calls for the last 14 years, but I can slap on the pads and take up a double team.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
