I gotta think defense. O-Line looks good. Could probably shore it up. We have enough offensive skills position weapons. Again, could probably benefit from a game changer. 

 

The Defense lacks talent top to bottom. I wouldn't hate an all defensive draft. 

I think that would be a great idea also

We also learned that Eddie Pinero does not have that clutch gene. After that first miss he kept drifting the ball to the left, which says the miss stayed in his head. I've been waiting for a game to see if Eddie can win us games because I do not remember a time when he has really been tested. Can allow one miss in a game, but lets be honest, kicking cost us this one.

Main conundrum is, well, the pool of capable kickers out there is quite limited in many respects. Kickers that were consistent last year - Jake Elliott, Younghoe Koe, and even longtime great Justin Tucker - are having horrid seasons.

As much as I wish Pineiro had a better leg so that long FGs are he frankly is probably still one of the best this year even after the yips. Not much out there that'd significantly improve over Eddy I'm afraid with how terrible kicking has been league wide these recent weeks.

What are you talking about?? Have you missed all the game winners he's made? Lol yes he had a bad game today but to say he doesn't have "that clutch gene" is CRAZY

I was at the game and just an FYI, he wasn’t drifting the ball left. We were on the left hash mark on both misses and you can see a straight line down the hash marks is just left or right of the goal posts. He hit both straight as an arrow but on the left hash mark that’s a miss just left of the goal post. He needed to push those a little right rather than kick them dead straight. Regardless, he knows how to kick those correctly so he messed up.

Drift, shank, pull, choke... what's the difference? Field goal kickers make damn good money compared to what we make. Can we agree on that? Do your job! The one job you have, I mean serious, how hard is training camp for a kicker? Eddie signed a two year 4.1 million dollar contract with 2.2 million guaranteed... these games are WHY we pay them MILLIONS! I'm sorry, I do not have a lot of forgiveness for kickers. There is a reason the Tuckers and Kasays last so long.

If he can't make the so called gimmys you need to let him walk because he definitely can't nail the 50 plus yarders

      Ian Rapoport: "Don't expect the Panthers to Draft QB early in the draft"

      Megatron reincarnated. Pair him with Bryce and watch the touchdowns pile up.

      How many clutch chances did he have in this game? How many short fields? How many drives did he come up clutch? How many passes did he deliver to keep those drives alive? Clutch drives are opening drive, 2 minute drive at half, opening drive in 3Q, comeback drives in 4Q, 4 minute drive to close out a lead in 4Q, short field drives on TO, and GWD. This is why you pay a QB at the pro level. Otherwise, just get an inexpensive Sam Darnold type, stack defense and double down on the running game to carry the QB. Young tanked the opening drive (scripted). Stalled on 2 drives in the final 2 minutes of 2nd half (one was a short field TO chance). Came up empty on the opening drive of the 2nd half. Failed on another short field after a TO. A 3 and out in 4Q while trailing. A go ahead drive for a TD in 4Q with 3 minutes to go. Left too much time on the clock for a 3 point lead. 1 for 7 on clutch drive opportunities & only 2 of 26 completions that resulted in a TD drive. Is this a winning QB, nevermind a championship QB? Consistent success? We can all agree he was inconsistent in the redzone. 3 of 9 for 21 yds and 0 TDs. 1 rushing TD. 4 redzone visits. Is this your standard for a franchise QB? I can't change any goalpost when we're staring at the hard facts and not ignoring everything but the few highlights you're gripping tight to. He is the QB and needs to CONSISTENTLY step up in these moments to be considered a franchise QB. Unless that franchise wants to be a perennial losing organization. The stats and drives would tell us Young was a factor in the loss given his opportunites. Drive enders outside of Young were Hubbard, Moore, Ekwonu, and Hunt. Moore, Ekwonu and Hunt were only responsible for ending 1 drive each. 13 total drives. Young and Hubbard were responsible for killing 8 drives. 27% of drives need to be TDs to be a good team. The Panthers offense led by Young and Hubbard were at 15.4% against the Bucs. Panthers were 17.4% for TD conversion before today and that will be lowered. The Panthers offense was slightly above Giants and Browns level of offensive production against the Bucs. That is a clear perspective of where the key offensive leaders, Young and Hubbard, stand as an offense. Coker, Thielen, and J.Sanders have been successful as receivers, but there is no core leader at receiver with Johnson still being the most targeted receiver going into today's game. The offense converted TDs at a higher rate (20%. Better than the Steelers/Texans and just under the Vikings) with Dalton at QB absent Thielen. Keep that in mind too. Bryce Young highlights and moral victories mean nothing going into year 3. He has every drive to prove himself better than back up QBs in their 30s. Bring performance based numbers and splits to prove these numbers insignificant. He's not going to be ready to compete in the league at a playoff level for at least 4 more years based on his numbers and low rate of improvement. The defense will have to carry a QB on Young's sub par level to win.

      Legette is killing us

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      Hubbard was seen as a jag who couldn't block and couldn't catch a cold. Now he's our offensive focal point. Now he had a killer fumble but he put in the work and now he's a viable 3 down rb. If x does the same he can have the same trajectory.  He gets open. He's a rz target. He just needs to catch the damn ball. Spend the offseason on the jugs machine and we'll go from there
