I would also add improved special teams. That blocked punt was a big reason for the Panthers loss today. Huge mistake….

Was wondering and can’t remember- did Moton start his rookie year? IIRC he did not start and also did not play a lot either. And he was 2nd round pick. BC is a 3rd rounder - I would not get too excited about him…yet. Let’s hope he is a part of the solution in the future. Brown- he is big and strong but was a 6th rounder for a reason. Let’s hope he can be a part of the solution in the future as well. But for now- I think the oline “is what it is”…which is not very good.

If the staff thought Brown and Christensen were better than what is playing now and I am pretty sure they would be playing. The better question is- why aren’t they better and or ready? They don’t have much invested in Brown but Christensen was a 3rd ROUND pick. Hopefully he will be good one day.

If I’m not mistaken, Tampa Bay drafted a kicker in a second or third round a few years ago and it turned out to be a bust

Yes! Slye is better than what we have now.

Zane Gonzalez does not appear to be the answer. Not because he missed an extra point but because his kickoffs were painfully short. My understanding is he has to stay on the active roster for 3-games so I guess he is here for the Texans and the Cowboys. Eberle is on the practice squad but I guess if he was the answer than Gonazales would not have been brought in. Hard to win in this league without an decent kicker. You think the Panthers trade for another or are they stuck with what they got?

Where will he play?

Watch them trot out Watson….

Heinicke would have been a better #2 QB for the Panthers than what they have now or had last year.

I thought they signed Eflin so Sam would have some consistency in running for his life just like he did behind Eflin when with the Jets.

Not that Slye was good but I think he is better than Santoso or Gonzales.

Since the Jets used a kicker to punt maybe the Panthers think they can user a punter to kick…LOL

Wilson is not old enough for that call

The offense yesterday looked very familiar to the offense from last year which is not good. The Panthers obviously felt that Teddy was the issue….let’s see if they were right. I think we will get a good idea this Sunday when they play the Saints.

Maybe that is why the Panthers have 4 TE’s…..perhaps Arnold is not as good as advertised

The biggest concerns have already been listed. So certainly not the biggest issue but PR needs to be addressed. I can’t even remember the PR dudes name but I think the Panthers can do a lot better. I mean Copper last year was better.

Well I guess we know why rhule didn’t go for a 50 yard field goal

Sam has been given the opportunity to prove “them” wrong. As a Panther fan, I sure hope he does or it is going to be a very long and disappointing season.

If Sam is “is not the guy”, we have to believe Rhule will start to feel the Tepper heat. That would mean two straight years of poor QB choices with no backup plan either year. Huge risk to go into this season without a plan B after what happened last year. It is what it is…missed opportunities.

Maybe he is friends with Sam…..

“Alex Smith” would be better than any QB the Panthers have had since Cam 2017….

He has to pass a physical first…..

Heineke looked really good against the Panthers last year and also in the playoffs. Saw him play some preseason too. Perhaps the Panthers gave up too soon on him as he could have been a decent #2 and certainly better than than PJ or Grier.

Norwell not playing tonight but he is still the starting LG for the Jaguars. The Panthers have been searching for a legit LG ever since they lost Norwell.

Huge missed opportunity last year but Brady was convinced Teddy was his guy.
