Horn I love you.

It's a Panthers tradition that we consistently get the worst calls year in and year out. Merry Christmas GB.

How could he have avoided that? Thanks refs.

Ok now I want a sack here.

We need some dogs on the d-line.

Get the PASS RUSH going good lord.

Now let's hope the defense wakes up, and Burns especially.

Yeah they has stuffed up in the box so much you had to figure something like that could explode haha.

They are getting away with some pass interference as well and the WRs are letting the refs know.

Chark has feet for hands.

Bryce looks the same to me as the start of the season. Has anyone noticed any improvement? If so, what?

It's like we don't practice.

No more razzle dazzle. That was depressing. Damn.

The new HC will not want this ass 3-4 defense. Evero will get booted imo. Good riddance to these coaches and any players that get dumped.

Can't say the defense was tired either. Just pure ass.

Evero getting cooked.

Sometimes I think it's Pickles out there.

I wanted Burns traded at the time and I went crazy in the Burns trade deadline thread. The Huddle was about 50/50 on Burns. The counter argument at the time from popular huddlers was that we might not be able to replace Burns in the draft, so don't trade him. I didn't want Sam Darnold at the time, and I was in shock at how much we gave up for him. At the time no other team in the NFL was interested in Sam Darnold, let alone trading a 2nd and 4th for him. Sam was on his way to being released and ending up as a backup QB until Fitt jumped in with a crazy deal. We got fleeced, and picked up his 5th year option. The huddle mostly didn't want Sam, but the hope was that Rhule's system would make Sam a good QB. Rather than trade CMC for draft capital to move up for a QB, I wanted to trade Burns or other defensive players for draft capital. We could have kept CMC and DJ Moore, and still moved up for a QB. Or even better, don't trade up to #1 overall, just move up some so that you get one of the top 3 QBs. Why were we dead set on the least physically gifted QB in the draft? Just seemed odd. Keep your best offensive players, and then at least it's not torture to watch the team this season. Instead, we have a decent defense, and the offense is unwatchable to the point where BOA is empty. And our good defense has produced 2 wins so far. What does it matter if the defense is good? It's painfully boring to watch this team, and that's coming from someone who follows the team year round. Fitt is a total moron. I've hated him for a long time now. He makes exactly the absolute worst decisions possible over and over again. Unnecessarily gutting our offense to move up in the draft for a game managing QB is unacceptable. Not trading Burns was idiotic. Getting fleeced for Sam, a proven loser, was soul crushing. Sam killed my love of football, and it cost us a 2nd and 4th to do it. Unreal. 2 firsts and a 3rd for Burns was an outstanding deal. Fitt turned his nose up, said Burns was the cornerstone of our defense, and now he can't make a fair deal to sign him. Depressing. Fitt has ALWAYS done the exact opposite of what I want. Enough. No mas. Throw in the towel. I'd take any GM over Fitt at this point. I used to say on here "I don't understand Fitt's plan. I don't know what he's doing." HE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN. We're ruined and it's going to take a long time to repair this damage.

We do have a definition for this term. "...a game manager is a quarterback who, despite pedestrian individual statistics such as passing yards and touchdowns, also maintains low numbers of mistakes, such as interceptions and fumbles." With a game manager your roster as a whole decides the fate of the team that season. A great roster can sail into the playoffs with a game managing QB, but you're eliminated when you play a playoff team with a great QB. It's just too much to overcome. Then you'll have the problem of that great roster being dismantled by free agency, and during those seasons the "game manager" can't really elevate the sub-par roster. Some fans are fine with making the playoffs here and there but not going any further. They just don't want seasons like the one we're having now. We basically have a below average roster, and a rookie QB who is an unknown at this point. If he develops into a game manager, then we can slowly piece together a good roster and shoot for a playoff birth. One thing is certain, the ceiling for Young is game manager, the floor is backup QB.
