Winners

Mike Goodson: Workhorse tonight. Some great running, some great pass blocking...at times, a SICK catch....continues to impress. Decent on kickoff returns as well.

Steve Smith: Great to see him back. He looks like Superman as usual.

Tyler Brayton: Had some nice pressure at times.

Everette Brown: Ditto. Plus he did more than just spin like a top.

Kenny Moore: Looks like not only will he make the team, he's going to be the slot receiver. Good for him, he looks uber-comfortable on the field.

CJ Wilson: Had some solid coverage at times.

Losers

Chris Gamble: Remember that game where Fred Smoot was destroyed by #89? Gamble looked like Smoot tonight, although Flacco had an eternity to throw.

Ryne Robinson: I don't think he played tonight even though he's not injured as far as I know. He's gone.

Dwayne Jarrett: Leapfrogged by Moore. Ouch.

Quinton Teal: Didn't look good at all. Blown coverages and tackles.

Landon Johnson: Looked slow and very bad.

Chris Harris: Added to the misery of the secondary with some more blown coverages and missed tackles.

Damione Lewis: No pressure generated at all.

=======================================

Also, Dan Connor was okay, but didn't look nearly as good as a starter. It was good to see Peppers at least show up on a few plays as well and I think Nikki Hayden Panettiere continues to improve where she's not such a game-blowing liability. She's still bad, but at least you can think about letting her see the field during the regular season at times now.

How about giving the offensive line some love? I thought they gave Jake plenty of time and blocked well enough for Goodson to make some plays. This was a very good Baltimore defense and I think the offense played pretty well.

With that said the biggest loser is the defense. They can't tackle, they don't generate much pressure with the front four, they don't cause turnovers (1st team defense has yet to get a turnover), and they are VERY poorly coached. Meeks is a tool and this should be his only season with the panthers, I think Fox should start calling the plays or something, he is terrible. And I'm glad Gamble thinks he should shadow the best receiver because he got absolutely abused tonight. They were picking on our BEST defensive back and made him look silly. The lack of pass rush didn't help matters but geez. Oh and teams will throw to the backs over the middle ALL year long if we continue to let them run around completely uncovered. I don't care that it is preseason, we look like a bottom 5 defense right now, if we play like this we won't win 8 games and I promise DeAngelo won't gain more than 900 yards because we will be behind in every game.

Jake was the reason we couldn't convert any third downs. He did nothing of note. We scored a total of 3 points and converted a total of 0 third downs with him in there.

Jake went 11-16 for 180 yards. If you think he was the reason we lost then you're hopelessly biased.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I honestly didn't like trading up on the 2nd to draft a RB with a torn ACL. That didn't seem like a great move for this roster. But it wouldn't be a bad move if he proved to be a quality starter. But now signing Chuba to starter money on the hells of that? Yeah, that's significant roster building assets tied up in the RB position which has been a hallmark of the Panthers' roster building thought process over the years which has led to zero sustained success on the field.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      But it's not a plug and play like teams were thinking.  Ask the Cowboys and the Bears thinking they were fine letting Montgomery walk.  Ask the Texans who had to trade for Mixon because their backfield held them back.  @Bear Handsbroke down the top running teams in the league and they have a very similar allocated of money/investments in the RB room.  It's a $15 million guaranteed contract over 4 years.  IF we are paying him the full 32 then he is playing very well and earning 8 plus million a year over 4 years.  I don't think we are doing the starter/backup scenario.  Our OC even said he has plays featuring both backs in the backfield.  We are trying to be a RB committee with a RB room that isn't that expensive compared to the league average.  IF Chuba plays to his top potential and we pay out all money he will average between Stevenson and Swift's average salary.

      I'm just reporting it, not getting excited.  That will no doubt go down with new contracts. But because we've been drafting so many busts, there's no one in house to extend lol.  Could be spent on a lot of known resources.
