after all the beer and jello shots, can't remember there ever being a 4th preseason game.... 

 

 

Panthers fans sell your tickets...............Stiller fans will pay big money expecting to see the starters.

 


I don't even know what that means.
(No one knows what it means, but it's provocative)
No, it's not, it's gross
(It gets the people going!)

I'll be the contrarian.

I actually watch the whole thing. It's dry drab and a bit boring but its Panthers football and the offseason is waaaay too long to bitch about the quality of football that I'm actually getting to watch. That, and it means the fantasy draft for my league is about to happen.

Actually, I think this year's 4th preseason game will be much more critical than in the past, because we have so many position battles ongoing where the depth chart is not set in stone: including the #3 receiver, #2 tight end, #1 right guard, #2 corner, #3 running back, etc. We also have a number of young guys that will need the reps and the practice for the coverage teams will be invaluable as well. Frankly, I'll watch the whole game with interest.

Anyone else hate the 4th preseason game as much as I do?

I actually hate them all, but yes, the fourth is the worst.  The only redeeming quality about it is the final cuts follow.

 

I think they used to play 6.   Hopefully they can get it down to 2 or 3 soon

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
