I think Hillard is in....the other 2 have not shown enough and he plays good ST's
Ozzy rules!!

wow Glad I'm not a panthers fan.
They looked a lot better in game 1, than tonight. But could they be in the Luck race, lol after taking a qb 1st this year.
I am not saying that Henne was great, just pointing out that many fans seem to want him to fail, even if he goes out and throws for 300 yards and 3 tds in week 1 there will still be people saying "He'll blow it next week". I am not really a Henne fan, I think he looks like he is just uncomfortable in the pocket, but I don't like it when fans won't give a player a little clap when they do well.MARALIEUSS: your going on one game and thinking the henne nay sayers are basing there nay saying because of it.
the problem is, its his body of work to date. he shows great stuff but then makes the big mistake instead of the big play. 17 points at half against the worst team in the nfl who is starting a kid that had ONE good college year. i am glad henne isnt throwing a bunch of pics but i DO see the same old henne traits. as i KEEP TELLING EVERYONE, why in the hell would we get rid of BRIAN HARTLINE? watch the tapes of the games and he is open, wide open a BUNCH and would be a pro bowler on most other teams. henne cant hit him on the deep routes and slants. as he couldnt tonight. he leaves WAY TO MANY BIG PLAYS on the field.
now, what i like is the offense i am seeing. lots of new wrinkles and routes. there was a whole lot of west coast in this 1st half and i have been SCREAMING to bring it to the finz since the wanny years. you get guys open, you have lots of outlets. suck em in with short stuff, kill them long. and vice versa. lotsa back out of the back field. and REGGIES is the perfect w/c rb.
it appears sparano did some game planning here tonight. i think it was to get henne some props. i look to see the game dumbed way down with lots of 3rd stringers around and simpleton iffy play calling for MATT MOORE so the qb controversey from the fans will get squelched. tomarrow it will be, see, moore did nothing, look at what henne did, he is our guy, etc....
i am not happy or unhappy for henne right now. i see the same guy. if he can just finish ONE YEAR with more td's than pics that would be a start.
Other than Fasano dropping passes, and the penalties by Murtha (3) and Colombo (1), an excellent first half.
I am happy for the team and it gives us a glimpse of what this team will look like..
Carolina is a weak sister, but I will take it.
