I'll start by saying what the hell at Nortman.

 

I was sitting with my room mate watching the game and his first punt made us both go, how the hell did he just do that?

 

He was booming them all night.

 

Surprised by GG as well been solid all Preseason

 

Some love for both coverage units as well as Ted ginn obviously.

 

Kick returns are the only thing I think are meh right now.

 

Hopefully we get better going forward.

You have my votes. Ginn was great, Nortman was great, Gano was great. What else can we ask for? That is triple improvement from last year. Also, Gay`s punts were good. As for the KR we must get better there. But that is my least concern.

How amazing will it be for this team if we can even have a respectable ST for once? Seems like anytime over the past couple of years the offense and defense both had good games, the ST killed us. Consistency on ST, while mixing in some game-changing plays from Ginn and Co. will truly be amazing for this team.

i'm impressed.

 

honestly the reason i'm not worried about the team is because we finally appear to have a dominant defense and a dangerous ST unit, both of which have been our undoing the past two years and forced our offense into having to make a play every single time they're on the field. we finally have a team that can win - and do so in dominant fashion - even when the offense looks horrible.

 

and it won't look horrible all the time.

 

i can't wait to see us put together complete games as a team this season.

ST's looked really well.

 

I'd say our coverage teams are very solid right now.  I'd like to see them do a little better on Kickoff return blocking and punt return blocking.  Ginn made that punt return almost by himself.

 

With that said, it's hard to guage consistency with the blocking due to them trying so many different guys out in that situation.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
