Eh, to borrow an old saying, don't count your chickens before they hatch. If Christensen was better than Erving, he would have already had the job. I hope he is better, but it's possible he could be worse.

If that's what you want to believe, then so be it. I believe in giving guys a whole season playing before declaring them a boom or bust. As the old saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. And not all great college players make great pros no matter their athleticism or ability.

It's way too early to be making this kind of statement. Horn played three games where he faced two rookies making their first starts and a guy people consider a reclamation project at best. Yeah, Horn is a promising rookie, but that is all he is at this time.

And all we know about those two are that the coaches don't think they are ready to play right now. They might be good, they might be just ok, or they might be bad. We'll just have to wait until they see the field to know.

Yep. It's only year two of the rebuild. The line sucks and it'll probably be next offseason when it gets fixed.

Until the Oline gets Darnold put on injured reserve. Then it'll be the sky is falling.

That should say something about trade and bubble gum instead of kicking ass

My thoughts are along the same line. Preseason was the time to see if the rookies could play against NFL starters, not week 5 if you're a head coach.

Probably. He is a willing passer, which will help with Miles and others cutting to the basket.

Yep. Good debut. He needs to work on that 3 though.

Yep. It's preseason though.

Good first half by the Hornets.

Big lead in the second quarter.

Not a bad showing so far. Miles and LaMelo are doing what they do so far.

Here is the OKC link

He is becoming 1B to CMC's 1A and has improved every year. If the Panthers don't pay him, then it'll be a huge mistake.

The announcers talked about that in the first half. Olsen said Henderson only knew the basic plays since he's only been a Panther for a week.

One thing I really like about Darnold is he acts like he has scored before. No outlandish celebrations or anything like that. Just a little celebration with his teammates and hands the ball back to the refs.

Panthers getting housed by the refs

If they do, they're dumb. He's been the best WR the Panthers have had since prime Smith.

Yep

Reddick is a bad choice for your argument since he had over 12 sacks last year. Arizona seemed to wonder if Reddick was a one year wonder and didn't make a good or any effort to resign him. So far he has proven that he is not a one year wonder.

Only cause it's a contract year. Dude wants to be able to do this and I can't blame him. That said, thankfully I'm not the one that had to sign him to a new contract and trust he'll keep the effort up when he didn't show the same effort in previous years.
