Hello CSR! Welcome to… wait, Brian Asks? “Didn’t you just change that title a few weeks ago?” You would be correct! However, its the bye week, meaning theoretically not much is going to change between now and their next game against the New Orleans Saints. So this week I decided to change the formula a little bit. Normally, Ask Brian is your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone, where you get to ask your questions, and see answers later in the week. However, I’d like to do something a little more fun since we have two weeks until the Panthers play again.
So in this week’s edition of the mailbag, let’s turn the tables around. This Panthers season’s been a wild ride as we can’t seem to nail down their identity from a week to week basis. I know many of my thoughts prior to the season have changed quite a bit over the last 13 weeks of football, and I sure didn’t expect Carolina to be in position to potentially lock down a wild card spot, or beat two/three of the better teams in the NFC. So, I turn the mailbag to you; what opinions/takes did you have in the off-season that you were wrong about, or maybe simply changed your tune on?
For me, I was not expecting the secondary to play at the level it has this season. Sure, there’s been some bad moments, but overall I’d say the secondary was not the weakness I expected. Say what you will about Nick Scott, but I would say Jaycee Horn, Tre’Von Moehrig, and even Mike Jackson have all played up to the level you can expect from the contracts they’ve signed. And they’ve gotten quality play out of rookie Lathan Ransom (passing deficiency aside) and UDFA Corey Thornton. So, comment down below with the topics you’d like to take a mulligan on, and I’ll highlight some of the best comments later this week.
KEEP POUNDING!
