Ditto on that!

I noticed that he didn't have his ring on in recent Panther related media content so I looked it up. There was nothing online about it either. This post put the spotlight on and confirmed my earlier concerns. I remember her being involved in everything he did, she even set up events for him at the Comedy Zone. Now she's fighting with the new woman. Sad stuff.

Everyone seemed to take a step back. XL blocked like a TE at times last year. The cornerback one on one blocking scheme up on the Chuba loss in the 3rd is a direct result of his good blocking. Then he goes as Stink put it and plays paddy-cake with the CB who busts into the backfield and disrupts the play! As we saw yesterday, he definitely lacks in the toe drag swag department. But yesterday everyone from Bryce to XL, and several defenders looked like they took a huge step back following a promising finish to the season. Let's bark as much fire as possible and hope things are going to get better in the short term. I have had this eerie feeling that we are going to be Snyder's Redskins for the next twenty five years since Tepper became the owner.

Yeah, they are already talking about him having to be shot up to play this week because of inflammation in his back. Also, I understand the pass rush abilities, but at sometimes you need to man up on run fits. He failed to do this time and time again when teams decided to play down hill on Dallas.

They have essentially turned it into the View. I was over my mother's house doing some yardwork and had went in to get water. I hear these women shouting over each other, unable to make points due to interruptions by cohost, thus seeming incoherent, and in the end just coming off as next level annoying. It was the View. At some point ESPN execs looked at that format and were like you know what might work!

It seems you just want to bag on the organization at this point. It is clear they had interest, it didn't work out initially, but it is coming out that he is getting his time to see what he wants to do. That is somehow turning into knocks on Canales play calling, lack of ingenuity, Dan's GM decisions, and the ineptitude of the entire organization. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that he was an okay to decent WR, with only one thousand yard season, and returning from battling a crippling ailment. All you keep saying is he is better than and he brings something we don't have. You know what we do have, six WRs who aren't recovering from a debilitating gastrointestinal issue.

This also shows that they are really high on the young ins at WR and want to give them the opportunity to mature on the field instead of sideline mental reps.

Boom!

I'd take washed Andy Dalton over Devito. A PS flyer, that'd be ok.

Lol yeah, he was wide open on the slant for a first down and he's out there running a route that the QB who has been in the system for two years didn't see coming. This is doing the mental gymnastics where the Panthers have to be wrong. He is old, he is dealing with injuries because he has been out of football and other WRs out played him this preseason. As of now, it looks like no one is signing him, so there goes the theory of us regretting it. Every year there is a guy that you all latch on to and he gets released. Before all of his health problems, he was slightly above average and maybe the people who were watching him everyday and evaluating didn't see what you saw. And that was nothing more than him getting open in one on ones and a couple other catches. And you are right he did do something else no one on the 53 did and that was run the wrong route causing confusion and causing an interception.

I feel that, it seems like teams do not care to keep a guy around for that purpose if he cannot help anywhere else. It used to seem back in the day that at least the ST coach would advocate for a couple to stay on the roster for years.

Why would anyone be interested in Tommy Devito?

Simmons is a bum, can't set the edge in the run game and can't cover. He's an athlete, but it doesn't translate.

Renfrow is dealing with injury issues, coming back from a devastating issue with his health, and directly caused an interception in the preseason. This affinity for certain players and dislike for others is what fandom is about, but you all definitely ride harder for some than others. Also, cut out the XL stray bullets. The kid was a rookie and didn't have problems with drops in college. Devante Adams had the same issues as a rookie and became dynamic. Give it a rest!

Andrew Whitworth's last contract with the Rams was a three-year deal signed on March 18, 2020, worth $30 million with up to $37.5 million available, which made it the highest-paying contract for a non-quarterback over 35 in NFL history at the time. This deal kept the veteran left tackle with Los Angeles for his final seasons before his eventual retirement. Read it and weep. I swear sometimes you want the sky to fall so bad so you can say typical Panthers, we are the only ones to ever do this or that, you forget obvious examples illustrating the obtuse nature of your statements!

A few content guys have constantly said we would trade AT and I thought no way because there were no suitors. Well, with the Vikings calling, how bad do they want him? If it is something worth our time 4th and up, bang bang.

Moton has looked as consistent as a RT could look for years now. When you perform and you are a good locker room guy you get paid. That is it no more. He hasn't even started to show decline. He hasn't had issues missing games or shown drop off in mobility with the knee yet. You fellas are gonna need some therapy for that Hurney PTSD.

Again, I am not talking about the coaching strategy for preseason. I am talking about the way media and fans portray or view preseason results. You quoted my post bruv and you have now twice misinterpreted what I meant. I get it, you are disappointed after last week's showing. But know this, Dave Canales and Dan Morgan are not concerned with your glimmer of hope. Also, I heard and viewed them looking really good in the joint practice. I am disappointed that it didn't translate to Saturday, but I will never truly freak out about this team until they look bad into week 3 or 4 of the regular season.

I am not talking about the strategy as much as I am talking about how fans and media view preseason.

That man is not broke. He just know he has to tighten up his spending.

I don't put very much into preseason. It is largely for confirmation bias. If the team or players do somethings well it confirms your hope they will be good. If they do somethings terrible, it confirms that they still have a long way to go. The main thing I took away from the video was how are we going to evaluate anyone with such terrible QB play from Dalton and Plummer. I am thinking after starters get pulled meh, Dalton will make some noise. He is cooked and then Plummer comes in and looks like he has made zero progression. That to me is a reason for lack of effort on offense. There is frustration from the poor QB play. Plummer was scared to pull the trigger. Plus we still are building depth and have a lot of work to do in that regard. Our backups are mostly mediocre to garbage. It just looks like they are giving minimal effort because they aren't good. Then throw on top of all that, Canales and Evero are using the preseason to let their underlings call plays which is not exciting to fans or players. Lastly, I don't like how in the video he was wishy washy about joint practices vs. preseason games. The word out is that coaches value those practices much more and the word was that we looked at least competent in joint practice against the Texans. I have noticed that when we joint practice with a team leading up to a preseason game, the game product looks terrible for us.

Exactly, even with injuries, I can't see too many more of those Jamar Chase 63 yard touchdowns and our DC keep his job.

Well said, I have parroted the same thing to anyone that would listen since. Watching football that year, you had everyone from high school players, college players, league players, male fans, female fans, little kids, and the elderly mimicking Cam. Everyone was paying attention especially after the Thanksgiving game. They went directly after him and McNabbed him out of the league when it was clear he was becoming the face of it. Instead of leaning in and making the money, they let the league be faceless for a few years while taking unprecedented measures to close the window on our run. From allowing a Broncos' fan to head the officiating crew in the Championship game, to scheduling the same two teams to start the following season, to allowing the league MVP to be targeted in games, to never showing any of the 2015 season's games except the last one on their network, they Men in Black neuralyzed the world regarding the Panthers. All that they left was a narrative that Cam was playing one on one with Von Miller and was scared to jump on a fumble.

Yeah, that is a growing consensus and I concur. Hasn't shown much more than thin gimmicks(i.e. run scheme), obvious blitzes, and setting up dbs for blown coverages. I feel he could get canned even if we are winning. Maybe I want that scenario.

Seems you shut a lot of that down. There basically is no comeback for this post. Good job! The I don't want to write this kid off but I am going to write this kid off posts and takes have been insane about XL.
