If they can keep it under 2 TDs for the game, that'll be a win. Right now I think the lose by 30+

Bryce is looking pretty friggin horrible! But this whole team stinks right now. No easy fix. Gotta change the culture

This is the worst team I've ever watched

This whole team is bad. Horrible!

Bryce looks worse than last season right now. He's gotta step up now.

Bryce looks like ass

I'd agree that he would have had a hard time making any other roster his first 2 years in the league. He isn't a natural pass catcher, but he's worked himself into a respectable receiving option now. You have to love his work ethic.

Wishing him a speedy recovery. Then a trade. Within the division. The Falcons would be nice. Really nice.

I ran wing t in high school. Same thing. Actually Navy runs the wing t now.

Oh yeah! We ran Power I before they came. Square peg, round hole. Went to the Aloha Bowl the second year they got there.

Paul Johnson was the OC when I was there. Charlie Weatherbie was the HC and Ken Niumatalolo was my running backs coach. They all came my sophomore year. That'll age me!

Wouldn't that be a work of art by Morgan?!

I don't think it's a joke either. But there are apparently a lot of loop holes. Like taxes for rich people.

Most of these guys will never make anything remotely close to the money they make in the NFL. And they know it. Taking care of their families for the next 50+ years is way more important than winning rings.

I would shy away from big contracts for skill position FAs. There are usually too many variables involved. Oline and Dline is where I'd put FA dollars. Those positions are usually pretty cut and dry. Beat the man in front of you, and do it consistently. If you can do that, then we can work with you.

Yeah, but unfortunately they traded away the only playmaking WR and replaced him with a possession guy. Released the workhorse back that perfectly fit the offensive philosophy. The oline took a major friggin nose dive, granted it was mostly due to injury. I mean they went from a solid 8 to a shaky 4. No one expected that. And the coaches had no clue what scheme they wanted to run. Still think Reich should have stuck with his mesh concept and just added more presnap motion. This team wasn't a QB away. That's some BS narrative every team with 7 or more wins says. The TEs were (if you don't have anything good to say...). The oline was supposedly the saving grace, but they were (see above quotations). The receiving corp was mediocre, even with DJ Moore. Without him... The running backs were good enough with Foreman in that scheme. Without him... The 2022 Panthers were a lot closer to a QB away than the 2023 team. If that makes sense.

In all honesty, Jordan and JT are much better receiving options. So they'll improve the passing game, but likely hurt the run game some. Definitely "willing" blockers, just not great at it. I feel like their contributions as receivers will trump their lack of blocking. Pick your poison.

Uh oh. I remember another coach that let better players sit on the sideline because vets... Rivera "found" better players on the bench more times than one due to injuries to starters.

Come on Basbear, don't lump us with the Ivy League. Yes they normally beat us. Sometimes pretty bad but never like that. Heck Navy has beaten Notre Dame like 4 times in the last 20 years. Last time being 2016. They only beat us by 3 in 2022. The bigger point is fully developed grown professionals going against kids in college. Too big and strong. Literally men against children.

No college team is beating any college team. Remember how dominant Derrick Brown was in college? Remember how pedestrian he was his first 2-3 years in the NFL? Now imagine him playing against an 18- 22 year old kid now. It would be illegal. They'd call the game before he killed someone's child.

And you'd better spy him so that takes another guy out of coverage.

The kid that played basketball at UNC, right? Curry?

Yeah I don't think the guy is as bad as some are arguing. Is the deep ball his strength? No. Is it a glaring weakness? I don't think so. Deep passes that aren't called take more than just a strong armed QB. That helps, but you also need a WR that can burn a defense and/or "Moss" a DB. That WR wasn't present last season. Not sure we have that this season either, but we do have a route runner that can create separation and catch the ball. We also appear to have a playcaller that will take shots early. The second pass of the preseason game, DC dialed up a deep pass to DJ that forced the safety to help, opening up the underneath pass to JT. That's about all we can hope for from deep passes right now. At least until we have a WR that can run past or jump over the coverage. Legette is the only player that may have both in his bag but he's unproven. Coker has an insane vertical and showed it in college too, so may have a chance with him as a jump ball guy. As far as Bryce goes, he has to throw the ball when the opportunity is there. That's the biggest issue I had with him last season. Maybe he didn't trust his receivers. Maybe he didn't trust his oline. Maybe he didn't trust the playcall. He doesn't have those excuses this year, so I expect him to take more deep shots, particularly when the defense creeps up. If he doesn't, then we'll have a problem.

Diontae Johnson is actually pretty good. He's respected around the league as a high level route runner. Overall looks like an average receiving corps now, with an average to above average oline. Just my opinion... I think the defensive line is greatly improved. Burns is a feast or famine splash player. All or nothing. Mostly nothing. If nothing else, Clowney is a huge upgrade against the run. A'Shawn is another big upgrade. He and Brown should be a problem for teams to run inside against. Any combination of Josey, Shaq or Wallace appear to be at least as good as Luvu and whoever else they marched out there next to him. The secondary is at worst a wash. Could be a lot better if Horn stays healthy and the new Jackson is probably an upgrade. All is on paper though. Now up to coaches to put it together on GameDay.

Agree. I don't know how anyone can look at this roster and think it's worse than last season-at least on paper.
