best LB in the NFL?
Our offense is sluggish but thats not concering to me. Cam is being more conservative and hasn't been out running (obviously because it would be dumb too in preseason). Once the reg season starts up and Cam gets mobile, we'll be straight

Didn't watch but looked like the offense was brutal again.

I really don't think Cam is even trying right now. Looks like he's just going through the motions, just ready to get to the regular season. At least I hope so. They also aren't going to show any money plays right now either. O-line does concern me though.

Keek is easily the best LB in football.
#2, probably Bowman, doesnt make half the game changing plays Keek does. Hes incredible. I love this dude.
And on a side note, his tackle counter is helped by the fact nobody else on the Panthers can tackle. Hes regularly cleaning up after his teamates.

I've got a really, really good feeling about the defense this year. Front 7 could be straight FILTHY.
Beason - Kuechly - Davis
Hardy - Star - Short - C. Johnson
hnnnnnngggggggggggg. Have been a Josh Norman fan from the beginning, too. Even though he had his struggles last year I love his Smitty-like attitude on the field and how physical he is. I've got high hopes for him. Captain is solid. Not a fan of our safeties, though. A good defensive line gives our secondary a whole lotta room for error though so I'm not as worried about that as most people are.
My biggest worry is, has been, and will continue to be Ron Rivera until proven otherwise. I think we have enough talent on both sides of the ball, at the key positions, now that our success/failure sits in the head of Rivera. That frightens me to be honest. A lot of Panther fans see that as me being negative but it's just how I feel. I've even been told I probably like to see us lose and that couldn't be further from the truth. I HOPE Rivera proves me wrong and makes me look like a complete idiot.

The front seven could possibly protect our secondary a little. That's my hopes.
And the offense hardly even played against the Ravens. No, they didn't look sharp, but there also was no rhythm because our defense flat out destroyed the birds.
Cam has had awful preseasons every year that he's been around and it's not meant a thing so I won't be overly concerned about that.
Going to be more fun watching the D than it will the O this year, though.

Dwill is one of my fav players on the team but he really needs to prove himself. He hasn't done much in the last few seasons, since that major contract. If he doesn't produce this year I don't see him lasting with us much longer.

Also, Williams hasn't done that much the last two years because he got about 8 carries a game. His lack of production isn't his fault.

edit - want to clarify I still think his contract is ridiculous and he's way overpaid but he can still produce for us at a solid/high level.

I've just got a feeling our defense is going to come out STRONG in the first game to make a statement vs. Seattle. Russell Wilson is a hard dude to pressure but I think our front 7 is going to get all up in dat angus.
I have rarely shown optimism with this team in recent years but from what I've seen this preseason I really think people are sleeping HARD on this D.

carolina panthers crew checking in.
the season hinges on the performance of the o-line and the coaching staff. Cam will be fine. I expect him to have a break out year. IMO a big problem with his performance last year was Chud.
Rivera, while better suited as a D coordinator, isn't as boneheaded as some make him out to be. He just needs to work on his clock management and motivational skills. The staff excels at gameplanning.

I think the defense will be much better than last year.
Maybe I'm just really cynical but I think they'll be 8-8 or 7-9

The talent is there for a 10-6 team. The coaching brings it down a fairly significant amount.

Yeah our schedule sucks many, many dicks but as is every year one or two teams many consider good/great end up terrible. And I refuse to buy into a josh freeman lead bucs team.
Oh and I'm not worried about our receiving corps because any good quarterback can make a bad group of receivers look good. That all depends on cam who I'm obv very high on. OL does worry me, though. As does JStews injury status.
Just ready for the season to start.

compare that to the broncos schedule which should hand them at worst a bye.

I'm not delusional by any means. I know the strengths and weaknesses of this team and will call them out with no problem. My belief is and always has been that if your quarterback is good he is going to make mediocre receivers look good.
