Rust. Simply put, his reads were terrible. He doesn't trust his pocket, because he's playing like he's about to get sacked every snap. No faith at all in his protection.

Should get better after time, but really our offense will live and die by our offensive line performance this year. 

It's more than rust.  He is not fully recovered from the shoulder surgery and it's obvious.  They wouldn't be limiting his throwing in practice if he was 100%.

Now the issue with not being able to go through his progressions is probably some PTSD going on but it's not all of it.

I wish it was as simple as finding a franchise LT and all would be right with the world but folks there's not many of them floating around just waiting for someone to sign them.  I have a feeling they will be even harder to find as the years go on.   What should have happened in 2016 was a complete scheme change that would help mitigate the need for a pro bowl LT in order for the offense to be successful.  That did not happen.

Will take a miracle for the Panthers to be competitive in this one, honestly. 

 

I hope they surprise me. They certainly did last Sunday. 

Dunno, we are good at time of possesion and are due a few turnovers.  Do we win probably not but we can certainly comptete.  At +8.5 I'd take the Panthers.

We have some really bad injuries right now but we are still an amazingly talented team.  10 yrds at a time and every man shows up mad and we can beat them.  No doubt.
