First Take 11/11/13 Carolina vs San Fran


Dex

They talk for 4 minutes about it. Stephen loves us and Skip loves our D but isn't completely sold.

 

Stephen says "elite" and "legit" at least 4 times each.

Skip said 49ers would have won with Vernon.
 
Here's the video. Ends around 1:00.00 starts around 56:00.

Good stuff Dex,

It kills me how Skip and other media outlets make excuses and say San. Fran would have won if ......

San Fran would have won if this person would have been playing......

Injuries are part of the game we have lost our first and second team guards yet we don't make excuses about starting a defensive tackle at guard.

Bayless is clueless.  ""somehow he comes from his linebacker position and breaks this up"  Watch the damn film.  That is because he had him right away.  And NO Davis doesn't come down with that ball because Kuechly breaks it up the same way.

 

I hate when they say what ifs because someone got hurt.   Well if they had a real ref that wasn't in the back pocket of the Niners  Davis fumbles the football and Carolina recovers.

No offense to the OP, but stories that include the phrase "Skip Bayless said" just don't register well with me.

Well from now on I'll run all my Panther related threads by you before I post. Sorry for the trouble I caused.

It's not their job to watch film. This leads to shoddy journalism and over generalizations more often than not. The sports casting world will know a lot more on November 19th if we are able to pull it out just because everyone will have access to the game. That said, he is right about Kuechly.

I have a feeling that was a blown coverage and Kuechly recognized the call as soon as he saw the tight end split the seam. Something went wrong in the pre snap call and there wasn't going to be a safety there which Kuechly recognized almost immediately.

That's not based on anything other than how the play unfolded and how unscripted it seemed to be that Kuechly was 30 yards down field with no safety within 5 yards.

Don't bash me for this interpretation because that's all it is, an interpretation, I could be wrong.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
