morable season Stitched J.J. Jansen Jersey , but it ended in appropriate way.Specifically, they lost yet another quarterback, as just-signed Garrett Gilbert had to finish things up in their 33-14 win over the Saints.After Cam Newton‘s shoulder finally let go, and Taylor Heinicke was placed on IR after his first start, the Panthers had to turn to Kyle Allen to start this one. Allen didn’t make it through the game, after being dropped hard on his right shoulder. Gilbert, who is set to play for the Orlando Apollos of the AAF and was signed last week so they’d have two healthy ones, had to finish the game. Running back Christian McCaffrey was warming up late, preparing to serve as the emergency quarterback if anything happened to Gilbert.The Saints (13-3) had already secured home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, and barely looked interested.They didn’t even dress quarterback Drew Brees and running back Alvin Kamara, and left tackle Andrus Peat left the game with a hand injury and didn’t return.Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater started and threw a touchdown and an interception Youth Mario Addison Jersey , on a day when he was dealing with an extremely limited playbook.The Saints got on the board early in the fourth quarter, after the Panthers raced to a 30-0 lead. They haven’t been shut out during the Sean Payton-Brees era, as the last shutout was in 2002. The touchdown pass to Tre'Quan Smith extended that streak of games with points to 272 games, the longest such streak in the league.The Panthers snapped a seven-game losing streak in the process, and finished 7-9 on the season.In their 24 years in the league, 7-9 has been their most common record, happening eight times (also in 2012, 2007, 2004, 2002, 2000 Stitched Mario Addison Jersey , 1997, and 1995).They’ve finished the year with 12-4, 11-5, and 8-8 records three times each, and their all-time record now stands at 190-193-1.So 7-9 sounds about right. During training camp last year, the Panthers endured what could reasonably be called a catastrophe on their offensive line.This season, they at least start with a full group.While the Panthers put three players on the physically unable to perform list (wide receiver Torrey Smith and linebackers Jermaine Carter and Brandon Chubb) as they reported to camp, the real news was the players they didn’t.New center Matt Paradis and returning tackle Daryl Williams were not listed, after they missed most of the offseason work recovering from 2018 injuries.Williams went down with a knee injury in training camp last year, tried to return but it didn’t last long. That ruined his potential for a long-term deal, after earning All-Pro honors the year before at right tackle. He came back on a one-year prove-it deal.Paradis broke his leg last year with the Broncos Youth Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey , but was a priority signing for the Panthers, as they needed a replacement for the retired Ryan Kalil.Getting them back gives the Panthers options, which they lacked last year. When Williams went down and left tackle Matt Kalil struggled with knee problems, the Panthers were caught short, and scrambled all year.They found out former second-rounder Taylor Moton was a reliable right tackle, and they traded up in this year’s second round to take Greg Little with an eye toward him becoming their left tackle of the future. They could look at Williams at left tackle if Little’s not ready or left guard if he is. If that’s how it shakes out, it gives them the potential of a strong line (with Paradis and Pro Bowl right guard Trai Turner), though they never got to see it during the offseason.With Cam Newton coming off shoulder surgery, keeping him on his feet is a good thing, and having all their linemen well at the beginning of camp is a good start.
