Magicgames II » The news has been bad for the Carolina Panthers

following their Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Starting right tackle Daryl Williams re-injured his knee and is likely headed for injured reserve while he recovers from surgery. Tight end Greg Olsen re-fractured the foot that kept him out for the majority of last season. The Panthers are once again vying to produce back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history and they are being haunted by injuries. I’m not superstitious Cheap Donte Jackson Jersey , but I also don’t use ‘haunted’ lightly. There might be literal ghosts perpetuating this curse on the Carolinas.That’s nice.For now, we are going to talk about all of the positive elements to come out of a win. We did win, y’all. It was close, maybe closer than it had any need to be — but we won all the same. Here are the opinions of the Cat Scratch Reader staff on the best takeaways from the Panthers season opener.Bradley SmithJanelle MooreEvan LeekleyBrian BeversluisJonathan DeLongAshley BarnettBradley and Brian seem to think this game was the harbinger of a carefully coached offense. The Panthers committed 9 penalties on Sunday and had two unlucky/dumb fumbles, only one of which they recovered. The first game jitters are gone now and the offense has a lot of potential if they can play cleanly and carefully. Remember that the Panthers were the least penalized team in the NFL in 2017.Janelle and Jonathan walked away with the same impression that most of you did: the Panthers have a hell of a defense. Janelle also raised a good point that Thomas Davis hasn’t seen the field yet. Unlike the offense, Eric Washington’s unit is only getting stronger.Meanwhile Custom Donte Jackson Jersey , Evan and Ashley saw what so many of us hoped for this offseason. Norv Turner took advantage of his players. I can’t believe I have to say this, but McCaffrey is such an obviously better pitchman on the option than Jerricho Cotchery ever could have been. They never shared a locker room in Carolina, but can you honestly tell me Shula would have made the right choice if he had them both at the same time?How about it, Panthers’ fans, which takeaway is the most inspiring when looking forward this season?

Because they’re under the rule of my iron fist swell guys and gals, they obliged.Bradley SmithMarty Hurney will take an offensive tackle at No. 16 and make a large portion of the fan base happy, but then will make everyone mad by trading multiple Day 2 picks to move up and select quarterback Will Grier.Walker ClementThe Panthers will only draft one defensive lineman and he will have a less impressive resume and combine performance than Erik Sommers.Erik SommersAll of this nonsense about the Panthers drafting a quarterback early will prove to be nothing more than an elaborate ruse that has brought unnecessary stress to all the people who actually believed it. Then again Donte Jackson Jersey Super Bowl , I also waxed poetically and publicly that the Panthers would beat the Steelers last year so, there’s that.Jonathan DeLongThe Panthers are going to make most reasonable Panthers fans happy by taking a defensive end or offensive tackle in the first round. Then I think they’ll ruin all that goodwill on Day 2 by picking a player at a position that we don’t need when a mock draft favorite is sitting on the board, a la Will Grier in Round 2.Brian BeversluisThe Panthers will end up taking the boring but safe route and grabbing Cody Ford after Andre Dillard, Jonah Williams, Brian Burns, and Montez Sweat get taken before No. 16. He might be the best fit at left guard and his versatility will be huge for this offensive line.Ashley BarnettEven though the pass rush should be addressed Donte Jackson Jersey For Sale , the Panthers will pull a surprise move by drafting D.K. Metcalf to compliment Cam Newton and allow the team to be more creative with D.J. Moore.Daniel BeltonThe Panthers will NOT trade up or down on Thursday night. They’ll stay put at No. 16 and draft the best offensive tackle remaining.Billy MarshallThe Panthers re-signed Daryl Williams this off-season, which gives them two above average right tackles. They need a natural left tackle, but it wouldn’t shock me to see them take another right tackle at No. 16. Such is life as a fan of this team.Jason HewittThe Panthers will select offensive tackle Andre Dillard in the first round. This should finally be the year that Cam Newton gets some legitimate protection from a much improved offensive line.What do you think, Panthers fans?
