    Carolina’s 2019 NFL Draft capThe NFL released their designs for the 2019 NFL
    Draft caps today, and the theme of this year’s design was ‘local and state
    flags’. Since the Panthers are running hard with the ‘two states, one team’
    mantra, their draft hat this year is... interesting.Just take a look at this
    beaut.Photo credit: FanaticsI’m not going to mince words here — this hat is bad.
    Whoever came up with this design should be ashamed of themselves. I get that
    they want to continue marketing the ‘two states, one team’ thing, but there were
    so many better ways to do this.Someone had to throw this together at the last
    minute, right? LOL... nope.Extra time, eh? Well... they probably should have
    spent a little more time than they did. Panthers Twitter reactionsHow did
    Panthers fans react to seeing this hat? As you probably expected. Here’s a
    collection of the best replies to our tweet revealing the design.We got a lot of
    ‘is this an April Fool’s joke?’ replies, and unfortunately the answer to that
    question is no.To be

    , not everyone hated it.And also to be fair, here
    is come constructive criticism of the design.I’ve saved the best two replies for
    last, because not only are they funny but they are dead-on accurate.What do you
    think, CSR? Share your reaction to the 2019 Panthers NFL Draft hat in the
    comments below. The more things change, the more they stay the same. That’s the
    theme of too many seasons for the Panthers. They bounce back and forth from
    winning season to disappointment. They win games despite the best efforts of
    their coaches. They fire a steady, defensive-minded head coach, only to bring in
    a slightly younger, steady, and defensive-minded guy. The big change in 2018 was
    to fire their offensive coordinator and hire freshman Norv Turner, whose job was
    to take the offense to the next level while keeping it consistent.All of the
    coordinators changed this off season, for the record. The defense was so
    competent with new pieces and new coordinator Eric Washington as to almost be
    boring. Panthers’ fans can all but take for granted that they will have the
    privilege of watching a competent — and often stifling — defense. Special

    , meanwhile, had some good returns and botched an extra
    point. In other words, you wouldn’t know there had been coaching changes if
    somebody hadn’t told you.For the offense, it wasn’t until the 5th play from
    scrimmage — a 1st and 20 on the opening drive — that the Panthers saw their
    first positive play of 2018. It went for three yards. Cam Newton then scrambled
    for 15 yards to set up 3rd and 2. He converted on a QB sneak. I can’t speak to
    “the next level,” but that is certainly consistent with the last several years
    of Panthers offense. If you walked away after those first six plays then you
    would believe that the 2018 Carolina Panthers were going to be a strong defense
    supporting a fly-by-the-seat-of-Cam’s-teeth offense. A new look offense that was
    suspiciously familiar.You also would have missed the real story: The Panthers
    are just a few injuries away from being scary.Newton, while the most potent
    player on the team, is no longer the entire story of the offense. Christian
    McCaffrey, his one fumble aside, had a strong day and made plays even when he
    didn’t have room to work. Devin Funchess didn’t break out as a number one
    receiver, but he did prove that he can be a consistent option in the
    intermediate passing game in Greg Olsen’s (hopefully brief) absence. Torrey
    Smith and Jarius Wright both showed up larger and in bigger moments than any
    depth receivers the Panthers have rostered in years. We’re not even talking
    about Alex Armah and C.J. Anderson showing that they can be contributors if
    needed. Remember that we’re often mired in arguments over practice squad wide
    receivers at this point in the season.The Panthers’ offense has options and
    weapons and hope for the first time in years. The only thing they are missing is
    time. The offensive line is hurt. Ryan Kalil apparently had a fever. We hope it
    doesn’t cause him to sleep poorly on his neck. Daryl Williams injured his right
    knee again. Amini Silatolu looked like he need ‘OnStar for pass rushers’ in his
    helmet again. Some of these issues will be resolved with the attention of good
    doctors and the application of rest over the coming weeks. Some will simply
    fester in the blind spot of veteran-enamored coaches. This is the way things
    are.That’s a whole lot of question marks and bad portents for a team that won
    —for a team whose offensive line played relatively well for most of the game.
    First year starters Taylor Moton and Greg van Roten had a shaky beginning, but
    they settled down and proved to be the least of Turner and Newton’s worries.
    That is huge for the Panthers’ hopes.The offense had a few mistakes throughout
    the game Donte
    Jackson Jersey 2019
    , but that was only to be expected. Turner doesn’t
    know these guys but so well and they only know him just as far. There is a
    balance that they are trying to strike. It will take time to find that. Unlike
    years past, now you can actually see their goals and their misfires on the
    field. There is a palpable sense of intention and progress that, when not
    sidelined by injury, could mean the world for Newton and for the Panthers.That
    brings us back to time. The difference between the time it takes to run a play
    and the time it takes for a defensive end to blow a play up is almost
    imperceptible. Fortunately, it is obvious what needs to change to produce the
    time that Newton and Turner need to get their offense in rhythm. The right
    tackle position is a fight between the ghost of Daryl Williams’ knee, Amini
    Silatolu, and recent trade acquisition Corey Robinson. It is also the biggest
    question mark casting doubt on the Panthers’ offense being able to operate on
    the level of their defense. It is where they are currently losing time. The
    Panthers have long been a team that relied on talent on both sides of the ball
    to overcome coaching. 2018 looks to field one of their most talented rosters in
    years. Answer that question at right tackle, give Newton just a little more
    time, and the Panthers could become one of the safer bets in the NFC.
