He got baited twice by one of the best safeties in the league. He's a rookie QB with receivers who struggle to create separation down the field but overall, he looked like he belongs, but he'll need time to fully adjust to the NFL game and that's alright. Expecting him to come out of the gate and be elite was always a pipe dream. Today's performance will definitely be a good learning experience for him. 

We gave up 3 turnovers in our own territory on the road. Doesn't matter who the coach or QB is you don't win in the NFL doing that. 

Arthur smith choosing to risk his job on a 2nd year Desmond ridder instead of trying to sign Lamar is hilarious. 

CUT BURNS HIS CHECK!!!

They are terrified to let ridder throw. 

It's almost like guys play better in schemes they fit in. 

PAY HIM RIGHT NOW!!!

PAY HIM

This is the most excited I've been for a panther game since Cam's return against the Cardinals. 

Bryce Young throws for 515 yards and 6 TD's and is crowned king of charlotte by the end of the night. Then Jeremy imposes a new rule on the huddle where any Bryce young slander will result in a perma ban. 

For the first time in Panther's history, we will some actual tangible half time adjustments to the game plan and play better in the 2nd half. 

Ron is good coach but his propensity to refuse to play younger players is his ultimate downfall. His old school mentality of "making the young guys earn it' while playing an obviously less talented veteran or by not bringing outside help when a key piece of the team goes down but instead insist always that "the answers on the roster" is why he'll never build a sustain winner. Ron's teams will never be outright bad, they'll hang around being average to sometimes maybe good but never great unless he's being caried by the players. 

I wanted Baker to work out here so bad. I love his competitive spirit and his moxie, but he played just so terribly bad here that there's no way to defend him. He did help get Rhule fired tho so for that I'll forever be thankful.

I want Tampa and Baker to play just good enough to put themselves out of range of getting Caleb Willams and Drake May. 

The outcome of preseason games doesn't matter but the execution and effort during the game certainly does matter. From the 1st and 2nd string players I wanna see them be able to execute what is called and from the 3rd and 4th string players I can be ok with sloppy execution I just wanna see effort and hustle because you're playing for your job and future in the league. 

I think the root of all this outrage over preseason games is due to the fact we had such a universally agreed upon good offseason. Most everyone was pleased with the new players and coaches we brought in and now that we face just the tiniest bit of adversity, we assume the sky is falling and we panic. Of course, you don't want to see all the mental errors from the O-line and the lack of pass rush from the 1st team defense, but most guys are out there just going through the motions and trying to avoid injuries in a meaningless game while the coaching staffs calls a basic gameplan to avoid putting anything useful on film for our first two opponents who are division rivals to look at and game plan for.

Hah!  I'll see your Jordan quip and raise you:

Cam Erving validates his first round selection status by solidifying Panthers O-line.

Cam Erving proves to be a valuable piece in the panther's Offensive line room by having the flexibility to play all 5 spots on the Offensive line and sucking at every single one. 

Michael Jordan will develop into a solid starting offensive lineman. 

for a XFL team

I want to see Bumper pool get some more reps.

Brown is a monster

Man, I was a full believer in the Keyarris Garrett hype train. 

If we had Steve Smith in the Superbowl vs the broncos, then I fully believe we win that game. Let Aqib Talib try that cheap face mask on Steve Smith instead of Philly brown and you would've seen the biggest team fight in Superbowl history. Smith would've given the offense a spark that they didn't have that game. 

If Tepper wants any taxpayer money, then the least he could do is return us back to a natural grass playing field. Despite all the disagreements and animosity, we have towards each other sometimes returning to a natural grass field is the one thing universally agreed upon and wanted by the fanbase, players, and media.
