Running game was winning. WHY make Young more than a point guard game manager?

Young can't see & throws a blind jump ball. NOOOOOOO

Just keep running it. Passing will hurt us

I'm happy with only giving up 3 & 7 minutes with this D. Offense will need to be consistent though & not make simple mistakes

Nice pressure

Allowing them to get 20 yards for a QST down consistently is next level Evero. I still don't like this defensive play calling. Bend & hope for mistakes Evero D is tiring

About to find out who then

Bryce Young v Travis Hunter & Devin Lloyd over the middle is the match up to watch. They'll be hunting Young. Hopefully Ekwonu holds up with the pass pro. Need to stop the run up the middle consistently.

Or they're building up draft capital for another trade that's more valuable than a critical starting vet WR. What player would a 2026 1st, 2027 1st, 2027 4th & 2026 5th pick get them? Parsons, 2027 2nd & a conditional 2027 5th? That's the only play that makes any sense after going with Thielen for all of the pre-season and getting rid of Renfrow. If all the Panthers got for this was a mid round pick, they may as well advertise that they're giving up for the season. The WR squad was suppose to be the big move to help Young & Thielen was key.

He was an athletic game manager in the UFL. Think Brad Johnson with more athleticism. He could play in the NFL, but don't expect him to carry a team without a good defense. Better than PJ Walker or Jack Plummer

Listening to Morgan makes me doubt his ability as a GM

Panthers need to start building core defense on the front 7 and safety at some point if they want to win. Hendrickson won't improve the scheme, game plan, or personality of the defense.

Very true. I think we all just want to see a positive trend upward, and when the Panthers look like a 5/6 win team, we will hear why they are that team. There have been some positive changes, but it has been too slow. The team is responsible for giving the fan base something to watch and at least be competitive. We all want to win and build a champion, but true fans will boo and put bags on their heads while still buying tickets and gear because they want to see a change for the positive. It's not the fan's responsibility to pull up the team and coddle their emotions. Our responsibility as a fan is to give our honest feedback and pressure the team to become a champion. If the players break because of the fans, then you likely don't have a champion caliber player. This board has stayed true to the fan. Rah rahs for their favorite players in bad times are always welcome, but not everyone will be a rah rah, and there will be fans that don't eternally hope for a player - especially on a consistently under performing team. I'm sure some will call this trolling too and I will get the poo. Oh well

I still anticipate 6 wins and a fan base who's thinking they're better than they really are after 4 wins in the first half of the season with a weak starting schedule. There are 4 major changes standing in the way of the Panthers being competitive enough to take a wild card spot. Bryce, Evero, Ekwonu (can't pass pro at this level to win) and stop wasting prime draft capital on offensive players in the first round and retread 1st round QB trades when you clearly need defensive talent.

Why would we want to have a developmental QB with potential on the depth chart? Bryce is fragile and Tepper committed this franchise to Bryce. IMO we should have had Bryce competing with other young QBs since day one. Warned about Bryce before the draft. Dalton & Plummer does nothing to hedge against a bust in Bryce.

Improvement over Bryce and Dalton, and I agree he's not roster material

Can we get some hope from this passing game?

The Panthers stats/graphics department underperforming too. DOUBLE TROUBLE 2019?

Teams are going to run up that middle on Panthers D all season. Soft Offense needs to put up 30 plus a game

PJ isn't the best, but Panthers would be further with him instead of sinking the franchise for Bryce

I think that's why they iced Bryce. They hoped Dalton could get reps for the Tmac

You don't see the down trend & lack of improvement? It's honest. 1 good offensive drive out of 5 for 1st team O if you count Dalton being put in for the 1s

They iced Bryce. It was suppose to be more than preseason week 1

Dalton with the first pass for a 1st down. Progress
