It's Never Easy...

Ever notice.

With other teams.

Several times a game things are easy.

WR's running open in Zones.

Huge holes in the O-line.

WR's are covered.

Now tell me the last time something easy happened on the field for the Panthers ?

lol..so true..even with the run game its like Dwill will have to get stuffed like 5 or 6 times before he breaks one.

If Brady were our QB, things would be a tad better. :lol:

I know what you mean though. I hope it's partly due to the fact I love and scrutinize the Panthers so much...but it just seems other QBs pass it so much more easily than Jake and their WRs are always wide open where as ours sturggle to get free.

I just don't get it...other than Jake isn't a top ten QB and Davidson has work to do.

I was thinking the same thing.... That's what really worries me about the team this season. Every scoring drive we had looked hard... D-Will is fighting hard for every yard he gets. WR are having to make difficult catches. Jake is having to force the ball into tight spaces...

Defense is relying on the opposing offense to mess up or throw errand passes.

Not one aspect of this team has looked easy at all.

lol, Kurb you're right about this year, and most other years. But, last season, I have to admit, the running game with DWill and JStew did look pretty easy - almost video game-like. That would probably be the last time I think something looked easy for us.

This year, it looks easy to turn the ball over? Effortless at the least.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
