Cam Newton vs Christian Ponder

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.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
