Per Matt Miller, the Carolina Panthers are the most improved team exiting the draft...

How many bad snaps where there all last year? It’s good to have a solid LS but let’s be honest, all 31 other starting LSs aren’t having bad snaps every game.

I'll let you do that leg work, but the Panthers have been fortunate with JJ and drafted the best LS coming out of college.

Oh, and it only takes 1 bad snap from an LS to completely change the complexion of a game.

Dude, do you know how important a competent LS is?  Long snapping is an art form and it isn't easy, try snapping a ball 13-15 yards on the mark with velocity knowing you are about to also have to block.

A good LS is worth his weight as a STARTER.

It's MUCH easier than it used to be with all the rule changes.

Agree completely

It's a job nobody notices until a botched snap ends a field goal attempt.   Then everybody realizes the LS is worth his weight in gold.

I disagree completely. Not anything to do with how I feel about Brown, but a 6th rounder isn’t likely to make the team let alone be a day 1 starter. I know people like to say you can get steals later in the draft but expecting that he’s one of the one or two starters that come from round 6 is a stretch. I’d love to see Moore win a job but I only think Christensen has an inside shot at starting because he should only have to beat out Scott and the staff wants him to win a spot. The staff also wants their $14M guaranteed guys to start, likely as Gs.

I genuinely don't think that's how it'll work under Rhule.

As a former high school long snapper, I applaud you for your vast understanding of the nuances of the game sir. And you can bet your happy @$$ that I told girls I was a starter 😉

Guy I used to work with would tell girls he met in a bar that he was the Panthers backup punter.

Speaking of velocity, this is a fun clip!

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
