Anyone else find it strange all through Camp it was Samuel here Samuel there like he was destroying every conversation and converage. We didn't even barely hear a peep out of DJ Moore. But come live game day and every throw is headed his way like surprise we ment DJ.. I'm a bit perplexed like was this by design or was Samuel just drawing the best coverage?

This is what playing not to lose looks like... too scared to take shots down the field.

Or the fact they are facing potentially the best DT to ever play the game affected deep shots. Did everyone forget Donald?

Donald didn't even record a tackle until late in the second half. And when Weddle went down, a backup safety came in and he wasn't exploited.

Just like so many Panthers games over the years, this one didn't appear to have a game plan nor did it look like any adjustments were made along the way.

Cam was scared to throw downfield.  You know why?  Because he's trying to earn his next paycheck and didn't want to risk throwing a duck.  The pressure is getting to him in his head, not on the field.  Expect him to take the safe throws and try his best to look like a 30 million dollar QB.

If they want to take shots deep, how about subbing out Chris Manhertz and Jarius Wright for Ian Thomas and Chris Hogan. DJ Moore can move into the slot with Samuel and Hogan outside. 

I was going to mention the fact that it was really disappointing to see the relative lack of inactivity of Samuel, basically no activity by Hogan, and absolutely no activity by Thomas on offense. I don't know if it was Cam focusing on CMC and DJ or not, or whether it was Norv's inability to mix things up, but I wasn't impressed.

When the passing offense goes through Moore, it seems like Murphy's law is in full effect, but when when the passing offense goes through Samuel, good things tend to happen.

These next three games will give us a clearer picture of what the offense will look like moving forward. I understand the game plan of getting the ball out quick against the Rams but weaker defenses we have to open up the offense. If the plan is to play Ian Thomas and Chris Hogan 5-8 snaps a game, in for a long season.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      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.
