Barkely looked like the #2 overall pick last week......talent-wise hes better than CHubb(top 5) who had his way....

Feels like a near repeat is on the menu- panthers struggle out the gate, Barkely goes off, panthers take their first lead in the 4th, gano hits a 50+ for the bad guys to win....

I mean, if we lose to the Giants I'm going to proposition Zod to turn the Tinderbox into a secret Buffalo Bills forum.   We can just live through them for a season and experience fun football.  You will hear a lot of familiar names.  Just get drunk enough and pretend it's the Panthers.

Hes like a better&bigger CMC, minus the route running. Always had injuries, OL, and coaching issues........but he looked *free* and down right scary....Titans are a legit tough-ass team, especially on D. It looked like his old college games.......I fuging hate it......about the only hope now is he gets nicked and has to miss a quarter or two...

I’ve started watching most other prime time games and enjoy watching competent play. It reminds me of the good ole days when every other year our Panthers we’re good.

Chubb has proven to be the superior back to Barkley, game in, game out, season-to-season. We don't know if this is Barkley's return to his first year, or if it was just week 1 defensive breakdowns. 

Hopefully the glaring run defense problems in week 1 lead to adjustments and clearer play in week 2.

It was a sizable enough problem even this coaching staff would have to be aware of it.

Chubb has run behind a better OL and been healthy.  

Both healthy and behind the same OL? I’ll take Barkley

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
