The man deserves his own thread after all the heat he's taken over the years. Today was the first game that it felt like he really put it altogether.

I've said over the last two years that his support in the run game has greatly improved, but I still felt he was lacking in the pass defense department. When Graham caught that first TD, I thought it was going to be just another day at the office.

But, he may have single-handedly turned the game around. Great patience and read on his pick and I was so happy to get a pick-six after all these years without one. It seemed to give him even more confidence as well. He laid a couple of good licks on folks, but I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED his hit late on Graham. Loved it. Give him something to think about for next game.

I really feel he performed like the safety we've been waiting on and set the tone.

The man has taken his lashings around here, now give him some props. He showed out today and we needed it. I hope he keeps it up for the rest of the year.

Really liked Godfrey's play today. If he can get consistent and continue to play at a high level I'm hoping he can at least prove to us that he is deserving of his contract. I've always liked Godfrey but he does frustrate me quite often.

Can anyone post a clip or .gif of his hit on Graham? After his TD, Graham took a beating today and that was great to see.

Dumb fans will always hate unless he performs at Ed Reed level year after year.

Godfrey is a good Safety. What improved is our defensive line, that makes him look a hell of a lot better.

Yeah Godfrey was play was good, he's is def not the safety I'm worried about.

Also Charles Johnson should get most of the credit for that INT.

I wouldn't say most of the credit, but he definitely deserves a lot as well. Great point. For all the dummies hating on CJ when he doesn't post a sack, they need to watch the games and understand what they're seeing. I've rarely ever saw CJ lose contain, especially on bootlegs and screens. He did force Brees' hand on the throw, but Godfrey still had to make the play. Awesome job by both.

While we're talking about the secondary, although I love Captain Munnerlyn's heart and fire, thank you coaches for starting Josh Norman instead.

Munnerlyn is much better suited to a reserve role.

I actually really wanted to put Norman and Beason's name in the title as well. These guys are definitely giving our defense that edge that we lacked last year. Everyone knows I've been singing Norman's praises since draft day, he was a guy I really hoped we would take b/c I knew he had the potential to start in my non-expert opinion, lol. I love his play in coverage, he's physical to boot, and I absolutely love that he chirps at each and every opponent after every play. He's tough.

And Beason is back to being Beason. I really thought he'd at least have a period of adjustment or may not be 100% in terms of speed this year. I was wrong. He's been awesome.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
