nice peppers pic.....your up to date

 

Thanks, I thought it would be fitting to have a picture of the best player our team has ever had.

I cant stand negative fans.....if you were a player you would be a cancer on this team.

 

It'll be alright, it's unfortunate but I'm right about most things. As you'll see sunday, I'm correct about our secondary as well.

My gut tells me this is a game that could get out of hand early.... Panthers really haven't had to play from behind much during the streak, so how will they handle it if N.O. scores early and goes up 3 scores on us.

I think we will win... but it ain't gonna be a blow out like some here are fantasizing about.

We were behind the entire Miami game, much of the SF game, and at the end of the NE game.

My prediction is we will win. Plain and simple. Yes we have to play the saints but they have to play us as well. I remember when people were saying this about the rams in 2003 , how they never lose on turf. We will show Brees and crew that we are taking over the NFC south from this point on

Ever heard of a guy named Steve Smith? He's had a bit of a good career.

 

Also, our secondary isn't nearly as bad as you seem to think it is. This game is going to be close, 27-20.

So ok here it goes.... 1st qt. Not so pretty for us. We come out flat on Off. The drive and drive one us with little short drop passes and Jimmy Graham is tearing us up, dragging people past the first down marker. Our Def continues with the bend but don't break concept 13-3 Aints 2nd qt. Finally we settle down a little. Get a great punt return from Ginn. After a few great passes and a few decent runs Cam scrambles for 24 yard TD run, doing a cart wheel with ball between his legs as he crosses the end zone. Gano still coming up big for us but misses a chip shot at 35 yards. Hold the Aints to just a field goal in the 2nd qt. 3 sacks by our Def by half and fumble recovery that our Off can't convert off of this time. 3rd. We start with the ball. Drive 90 yards with Money T Train rolling into the endzone after Dwill picks up 2 great runs of 24 and 29 yards. Saints drive to our 30, wait what pick 6 by the capt.....no way....ok that's too bold. Pick 6 by the KEEK....man he has some wheels sunday night. Score 16-17 US 4th. Brees takes them down on a long drive after our def stops them and Cam throws an int on our side of the field. Brees drops back gets sandwiched between CJ and Hardy and guess he grabs it up Da Star. Every panther fan in the building going crazy as we turn to high five one another, we hear the Aints fan cheer...guess what.....yup flag on the play. Roughing the passer. Ref calls roughing the passer to hard of a hit. Gotta be kidding me. They get the ball back drive down but our Def holds on 19-17. Oh geez. 5 mins left. Cam drives using a 30 yard scramble, great runs from DWill and Barner and a little bit of T money train. Then we get toward the red zone. Dwill goes under center hikes runs forward but then stops throws to Smitty and he walks in a 25 yard TD. 19-24 US. 1 min 20 secs Aints have 2 timeouts. Aints drive, chunk of yards after chunk of yards. They get down to the 40 yard line our side of the field. 30 seconds left 1 timeout. Brees throws a little screen to Graham, which has the ball punched out by KEEK, Colsten recovers as he goes to the 35, to the 30 to the 25 (timing running down 10 secs) did I mention Cam is playing a safety, Cam watches Colsten get closer the goal line as he sprints bee line to Colsten knocks the ball out and Colsten fumbles from the beastly hit Cam lays on him. Ball rolls out of the endzone. Carolina Wins Carolina Wins....wait wait....Person Foul Hit the helmet number 1. Automatic First down untimed down at the 1 yard line. Oh no....all this good Karma about to turn? Brees under center uses their timeout. Panther fans sweating everywhere from coast to coast. The leave Cam in our course and actually bring in Money T train to jam the middle. All out blitz, Brees lofts the ball into the air as Graham is covered my Capt for some reason, as the capt slips no one on Graham. Then just as the ball is ever so slowly dropping down into Grahams hands the hawk from the halftime show, yes the hawk swoops down toward the ball as Graham waves his hands in the air and screams like a little girl and the ball drops to the ground. CAROLINA WINS...CAROLINA WINS..... 19-24.....CAROLINA WINS... KEEP POUNDING....

Holy sh!t man! Sorry, I think there's a 10,000 word maximum.

Panthers go on (4) 80 yard plus drives in the first half and we kick 4 field goals, 12-0 at the half. The first scoring drive has no pass attempts. The second half we put Barner in due to injuries to the other running backs, Saints are caught off guard he gains 135 yards rushing and 75 yards receiving. And in an episode from Breaking Madden, Star starts lining up in the saints backfield and takes a handoff for a Panthers score. Saints o-line calls NFL to report Star for harassment and making their workplace an uncomfortable place to be. In an effort to avoid a sack from star, Bree's scrambles right in between hardy and short, and is carted off the field, after the vicious hit.

final score 47-0

Media still disrespects us after game, blaming it on saints lack of prep due to plane incident, 1/3 of the huddle still say that Cam has to prove something to them.

Rivera when asked why we kicked 4 field goals in the first half says that he was intentionally trying to tenderize the Saints defense, and inflict as much pain as possible. Time of possession at end of game is Carolina 45:00, stains 15:00.

I don't believe in gambling heathen, keep your pocket change. Even if I did, I'm not interested in robbing you blind, because yeah, it's gonna be that easy Sunday.

 

If it makes you feel any better, I do believe Cam hangs at least 30 up on the Taints.

 

Hey, you have every right to be wrong, here in America you can be right (in my case) and wrong (in your case).

 

Don't bother responding to me, I don't feel like responding to all of your little retorts. I can't say it's been a fun exchange, but sometimes you gotta show the kids how it's done. Take care.

      Explicating the Panthers' Defensiveness

      I can't wait to go through this analysis

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      What's more likely? An entire competant NFL front office (as many here suggest Morgan runs) has watched Bryce struggle week in and week out to perform at the bare minimum of NFL QBs for 3 years and has decided that's the future of this organization, OR our owner who has proven repeatedly he can't keep his nose out of team decision making has declared Bryce is our QB until he decides otherwise, especially given he's the one that drafted him in the first place?

      Explicating the Panthers' Defensiveness

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is time to take a look at the defense.  Without further ado do.... Edge (OLB):  I think we overpaid for Jaelan Phillips, but he is constant pressure with 73 pressures in 2025, ranking 9th in the NFL.  In all, he was the 20th (of 111) rated pass rushing edge in 2025 according to PFF, putting him in the top 20% in the nfl.  With a pair of solid ILBs beside him and if we can get Wharton going, I think the sum of the parts will make him better than he was in Philly.  Furthermore, with second-year pro Princely Umanmielen behind him, I expect him to grow with the tutoring and competition. On the other side, the duo of Nick Scourton and Patrick Jones II is strong, in my view.  Scourton generated 34 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 8 sacks, 23 hurries, 3 hits. Against the run, he recorded 28 solo tackles. For a rookie, second round, edge, that is great.  He also forced 1 fumble on the season. Jones was decent in 2025 in just 131 snaps, but he is solid veteran depth.   We seem to lack the elite pass rusher, but this rotational unit will be a big upgrade over last season.  Expect Scourton and Princely to show improvement. While it is unlikely that we add more to edge this draft, you can never have too many pass rushers (well, you can--two sophomores and two veterans is a good mix). Would the Panthers take an edge if one was sitting there? Absolutely. Defensive End:  Derrick Brown is a stud.  I did not notice how dominant he became as a pass rusher.  His PFF pass-rush grade of 72.0 ranked 23rd among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 66.3 ranked 22nd at the position. He generated 35 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 6 sacks, 23 hurries, 6 hits. On the other side:  What the hell?  Tershawn Wharton earned a 40.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 127th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His PFF pass-rush grade of 57.0 ranked 95th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemen. His run-defense grade of 34.8 ranked 125th at the position. However, Wharton needs to be situational and we really need a few DEs who can plug and pressure.  LaBryan Ray is an interior defensive lineman for the Carolina Panthers who earned a 45.7 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season.  You cannot tell me that we are not going to add a DE.  In my view, this is a HUGE need that we have not adequately addressed.  There were only 3 DEs in the NFL who played more snaps that Derrick Brown.  We have to give him more blows during the game.  So After Brown, we have 2 other players who need to improve a lot to reach mediocre. Nose Tackle:  Of course, a NT might move out some to help stuff the run at DE opposite Brown, and stats do not always reflect on a NT's actual value.  Bobby Brown III earned a 54.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 80th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemen.  His PFF pass-rush grade of 51.1 ranked 126th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 57.8 ranked 51st at the position.   Behind him, Cam'Ron Jackson is an  earned a 45.5 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season.   The defensive line is weak, based on 2025 performance rankings in PFF.  After DBrown, they pretty much suck.  These are the guys our ILBs will be counting on. Inside Linebacker:  Devin Lloyd earned a 89.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 3rd among 88 qualified linebackers. His PFF coverage grade of 81.1 ranked 3rd among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 83.2 ranked 11th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 82.2 ranked 5th among qualified linebackers.  He's good.  At the moment, beside him is Trevin Wallace  who earned a 55.9 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 57th among 88 qualified linebackers. His PFF coverage grade of 64.5 ranked 25th among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 42.3 ranked 85th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 64.2 ranked 45th among qualified linebackers.  Wallace was best as a coverage LB, and based on my memory, I am not sure he was in the top third, but if PFF says so...however, he was nearly last vs. the run.  We need better to play beside Lloyd.  Bam Morris-Scott earned a 37.6 overall PFF defensive grade. To put that in perspective, I was rated by PFF at 32.3 on my couch.   Cherilus Claudin is the third best ILB on the roster right now. He earned a 59.2 overall PFF defensive grade in just over 200 snaps.  Having lost Rozeboom, the Panthers are very thin behind Lloyd.  Look for a starting-caliber ILB in the draft.  Wallace is not the guy, but he is decent depth. Nickel CB:  Chau Smith-Wade  earned a 57.0 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 79th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His PFF coverage grade of 57.2 ranked 79th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 55.4 ranked 77th at the position.  For a nickel, he played a lot--garnering over 600 snaps.  Corey Thornton was a pleasant surprise, until he was injured.  However, in just 127 snaps, he was very good, earning a 68.5 overall PFF defensive grade.  I think he can play outside in a pinch, but nickel might be his gig.  I am not sold that Nickel is in good hands, but Thornton is promising.  Smith-Wade is average, and with the experience he has accumulated, we are probably not prioritizing Nickel, but there are some good nickels in the draft. Cornerback:  Michael Jackson should have been in the pro bowl.  He earned a 79.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 4th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His PFF coverage grade of 80.9 ranked 3rd among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 67.2 ranked 36th at the position. He recorded 4 interceptions on the season. Jackson broke up 9 passes in coverage. He allowed a 72.9 passer rating when targeted by opposing quarterbacks --SOLID!!  Our second-best CB, Jaycee Horn, was in the pro bowl.  He earned a 57.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 76th among 114 qualified corner.backs. His PFF coverage grade of 61.6 ranked 61st among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 50.5 ranked 87th at the position.  He recorded 5 interceptions on the season.  Our CBs had NINE interceptions in 2025.  It is doubtful they duplicate that figure, but Jackson was our best CB.   We are thin at CB, but the two we put out there are solid.  Nickel, at this time, is "meh," but both are developing and should improve.  A great draft for Nickel.  The Panthers will add a CB somehow. Safety:  For now, Trevon Moehrig is as advertised--above average vs. the run, below average in coverage, making him average. He earned a 64.3 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 50th among 98 qualified safeties. His PFF coverage grade of 55.3 ranked 64th among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 73.5 ranked 37th at the position.  Lathan Ransom got some valuable experience in 2025, getting in on 330 plays or so.  He earned a 62.9 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 56th among 98 qualified safeties.  (Average, not bad for a day 3 rookie) His PFF coverage grade of 55.8 ranked 63rd among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 85.1 ranked 4th at the position.  A pure strong safety, if you ask me.  Nick Scott  earned a 67.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 36th among 98 qualified safeties. His PFF coverage grade of 67.3 ranked 31st among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 69.3 ranked 56th at the position.  Expect a draft pick at FS.  Demani Richardson is a safety for the Carolina Panthers who earned a 71.5 overall PFF defensive grade n 29 plays.  Nothing to see here.  Isaiah Simmons is probably more special teams than defensive player.   Overall:  We are thin on defense.  No real depth at CB, S, and DE/NT.  However, we have 5 starters who are pro bowl level players (D. Brown, Lloyd, Jackson, Horn, and Phillips--and I might throw Scourton in on that pile for the sixth potential pro bowler).  We are weak at NT, and if Wharton does not step up, DE.  Funny, I see Edge as our strength (and we really don't have a sack artist) and I love our starting CBs.  Moehrig is making too much to be average.   Expect:  In the draft, I think we have to draft a DT.  Having done this, I am not sure that we go after a S when we have such glaring needs at other positions.  We could upgrade at nickel and give the CB room more depth.  OLB?  Wallace is decent depth, and he could start in a pinch.   DE is our biggest need.  The answer could be on the roster?
