Everyne thinks the team ( if you have to ask which one you are in the wrong place) has issues. Rather than sit here and expect a whole slew of improvements what is 1 thing (just 1) that you would like to see.

For me its an O line that isnt pretending to be water.

i'll take the easy way out...fix the trenches.

on defense apply pressure. on offense withstand it.

2nd choice...

on defense stop playing it safe and gamble/take risks. go for the big play. focus on creating turnovers and blitzing the QB.

on offense go a bit back to basics turning to a power run game and try to go for the big play downfield with 3-4 receivers (including TE) going out every play. let cam take advantage of opportunities the defense gives him as far as running the ball himself and let the option play be optional...meaning let it be something done not very often.

I'd say pass Rush. That will cure a lot issues. Like the secondary, mainly the safeties being caught with their pants down.

I'm pissed at CJ, I realize he's being double teamed but man he's had some opportunities to get sacks and he hasn't. I realize FF are great and even Pass Deflections but that won't strike fear into the O line or QB you face. Putting their guy down on a constant basis will.

With that in mind, kuddos to all the guys that have a sack that aren't CJ.

I hear a lot of talk about change the culture. How about have some passion? Veterans need have more passion. Smith has it. Why doesn't Beason have it? TD has it after a big play, how about other times? I miss the personalities back when we had the lb corp of Greene, Lathon, and Mills. Those guys played with passion. Heck, in the playoff game in which we murdered Dallas. Greene and Lathon almost accidentally knocked each other out they played with so much passion...

I don't know how you can watch the Giants game and think the pass rush needs to improve. Eli was picking our coverage apart because of the giant holes we left in the zone not because our defenders couldn't hit him in time. When the coverage is so passive and weak that you can't make Eli have to think where to pass and they only give the D-line 1 second to get their hands on the quarterback, you don't blame the pass rush.

We played so soft and predictable in coverage that Eli already knew where he was going to throw the ball during pre-snap reads. He looked to the right and saw Gamble 10 yards off the receiver. He looked to the left and saw our 5th round rookie CB being left alone on an island. He looked straight ahead and saw Nakamura talking to fans near the endzone. Our defensive line isn't elite, but we asked for too much from them by playing soft-ass zone all night.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
