Your Panther Superlatives

Biggest ?: OL, on paper it looks improved but we haven't seen that translate to the field so far.

Biggest disappointment: Again, I'd say OL but since I already named them I'll say the backup QBs.

Biggest surprise: Burns looks like he's going to be a beast. Not necessarily shocking for a 1st round pick, but if he's as good out of the gates as he looks to be that will be a surprising transition to the NFL as a rookie.

Most improved player: Samuel

MVP: I'd say Cam's right shoulder. That a looks good so far. Better than it did even early on last season before it went downhill.

Most Confusing Poll .........  WFNZ

 

How exactly are we supposed to name biggest surprise or biggest disappointment when we are still in preseason?

It's like they read the Huddle or something.

Not poll, your predictions

Worst Charlotte Radio Station: WFNZ

biggest hack in Charlotte radio: Chris McClain and the other bozos on the morning show. 

Has anyone ever told you that you just radiate positivity? It’s like an aura.

I basically echo this.  While I firmly believe our starting oline will get it together, I was just hoping it would happen sooner rather than later.

Early in the draft process I had misgivings about Burns.  His size bothered me.  When he was picked, I was behind him all the way.  And I know Preseason MVPs don't always translate to the regular season...but I really am loving his explosiveness and how hungry he is to get to the ball.  His second effort, not giving up on plays.  Just everything.  

Samuel has been looking amazing, and thats not just Panther Homerism.  He has been getting a lot of nods from the national media in various formats.

Biggest? ... Poe? 

Biggest disappointment: Want to say Grier and he has been so far but rookie QB only played couple of preseason. I’ll say the OL I felt it was improved in the offense to really still perform as bad as last year... 

Biggest surprise? Terry Godwin. Several I wanted to name here like Burns, Haynes, Scarlett but felt like they were going to be good. I’ll say Terry because 7th round pick and be has looks natural out there and brought life to our return game. 

Most improved: would say Samuel here which from camp and the little action he has been most improved but I’m going to say my jaw has dropped from Haynes performance this preseason

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
