r/panthers

This is from a Jaguars sports article....the link includes a summary of what the Jags did well and didn't do well, which is a good indication of what areas the Panthers did well in and didn't do well in.

"Jacksonville controlled the first half of practice decisively before the Panthers somewhat steadied themselves and made things slightly competitive after the break."

I think the Panthers front office probably wants him to get at least 3500 passing yards and about 30 TDs. What are your thoughts?

I feel the league has swayed so much in the wrong direction when it comes to training camp and preseason. The CBA changes have made it more challenging than ever to get guys truly ramped up for regular season football.

For the Panthers, they are not an established team right now. They've started out each of the last two seasons under Canales slow and are the perfect example of a team that should use preseason to its advantage to ramp up.

We used to see starters in the 3rd game of the season often play into the 3rd quarter, but a full half of football was a given. It was treated as a dress rehearsal game. With cutting back to 3 games, I really see the value in treating the 2nd game of preseason in this same way. Joint practices are treated with more attention/effort than the preseason games now, and I think it's a mistake.

These are controlled environments which games aren't. I don't care if the Panthers starters are up against backups if they stayed in longer. There is value in going through a live operation in preseason versus simulating it in a joint practice or your own practice.

There's no value in 10-15 snaps when your body has to be ready to go for 50-60 in a few weeks. I really want to see Canales pivot against the league on this one and play most of the starters a full half on Friday.

I’m not gonna say I’m just gonna go out there and cause a fight. I’m not looking to do any of that,” he said. “But definitely when it’s a different opponent, you don’t have that kind of relationship or bond with those kinds of guys. So if it gets hostile, it gets hostile. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

“I’m gonna still do my job at the end of the day and be physical and play my play style. We’ll see what happens.”

Moehrig’s hard-hitting, no-fear mentality is the reason the Panthers signed him to a three-year, $51 million contract after finishing the 2024 season as the NFL’s worst defense. Moehrig responded with 103 tackles — one off his 2024 total — while establishing career highs with 14 tackles for loss, three sacks and seven quarterback hits.

Along with the stats, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Moehrig gave the defense an attitude.

It’s supposed to be a roast. Every team gets one every year, so don’t take it personally. You got Ratto, not Drew this year.

Looks like RotoWire did a series of their panel voting for each team's moment.

Ours was David Tepper purchasing the team. Honestly I totally agree, he was the main reason behind our inept franchise throughout this decade. Other ones that could've been are CMC first injury or maybe Cam Newton staring at the strip fumble in the SB.
