Shitty article. They are still beating the drum that no one was added to make up for the loss of Peppers. This article was written just 2 days ago...so, the author must not have watched any of the Panthers Defensive performances in preseason.

Another fluff piece by somone who knows nothing about this team.

Maybe the writer's just not so quick to declare our defense "fixed" based on 3 pre-season performances.....

But, he is quick to call it broken because an inconsistent player left....it works both ways.

And, he did not mention the agressive play and results once. Would have respected tha article more if he had mentioned it, and then said that they would need to take that level of play into the regular season. He didn't. The article sounds like a regurgitation of preseason articles from months ago.

Nothing new.

from game to game peppers was inconsistent.

most of his 10 sacks would come from just a few games where he would get 2 or 3 sacks. the rest of the time....meh.

Agreed.

I watched parts of the Chicago game yesterday on NFLN. I found myself laughin gout loud watching Peppers. He had a couple of good plays. However, there was play after play after play where he made one move and then stopped. He just stood there watching the play. It was like old times.

Contrast that with the way our DLine is agressively after EVERY play. Peppers will not be missed. Glad to see his underperfroming $20 million ass in another uniform.

for someone that hasn't watched the panthers this preseason. the defense deserves a lot more optimism than what that article has shown.

the offense...not so much.

I mean, I agree that the D has looked better than expected and I hope that the performance carries over, but you can't blame any writer for refusing to put stock in the preseason. Chris Johnson had 10 yards on 8 carries - does that mean he's going to average fewer than 1 yard per carry in the regular season? Bottom line is our team is "unproven" until the season starts and it can be proven otherwise.

    • The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
    • I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you? 
    • As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
