NEWFOUND MOTIVATION: Although the Panthers showed him plenty of respect by giving him such a huge contract, Johnson still has found a source of motivation from some of his critics this week.

Johnson said he’s heard some in the media suggest his huge season as a first-year starter (11.5 sacks) is more an anomaly than a sign of things to come.

When asked if he expects opposing teams to focus on him more this year after the numbers he put up last year, Johnson said fired away sarcastically. “I don’t know, man, people say I’m a one-hit wonder so I don’t think they are going to be looking at me like that. I’m going to earn my money.”

Yep, he’s still got a chip on his shoulder, and plans to use those comments as motivation this season.

This was the 2nd most encouraging thing to me...

GLAD TO SEE SMITH BACK: David Gettis said he was thrilled when he found out through his mother that fellow WR Steve Smith was returning to the team.

“I love it. That’s my big brother,” Gettis said. “I wanted to be quiet throughout the offseason on that, but for him to be here is great for us, and it’s great for him. We love having him around the meeting rooms and I really look up to him.”

Smith said he’s seen the offensive playbook and loves it. In particular he said there are “seven to 10 plays” he can’t wait to run in practice.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
