Dan Arnold is catching passes and winning games with the Jaguars. Where is CJ and Gilmore? Going to role them out when the season is lost?

Great front office and coaching. Take away a safety outlet for a new QB and add players who are doing nothing for the defense.

How to fail 101

Run Sam! RUN!

Yelling that from the sideline is Matt Rhule's game plan.

The Rhule experiment should be over. I don't want to wait another 2 seasons of this garbage for a change to be made. The QB, HC, and GM all have to fit or you're just showing up on game day while waiting for the season to be over.

Darnold is not the major problem. Tom Brady wouldn't want to play for this GM or coaching staff.

Panthers are who I thought they were. No where near championship contender, and they don't have the players to set a championship foundation. Wasted time, energy and talent. Good young talent though. Just not enough to build on.

Just wait this out like we waited out the Gettleman/Rivera failure. Panthers had their talent in Beane and McDermott... just missed the boat.

Wish we would replace head coaches and GMs as quick as we replace capable starting QBs who call out their coaches.

Rhule will want to replace Darnold as soon as he gets frustrated enough to call out the coaches.

Offense was dependent on Darnold, CMC, Arnold, and Zylstra converting 1st downs. Now, it is just Zylstra and Sam's legs, and they are opting for DJ Moore instead of Zylstra.

I like Moore and Anderson as primary receivers down field, but they're not going to cut it on converting the tough first downs in tight windows with consistency.

Where the fug has Brian Burns been? He's just disappeared.

He's trying to play the hero and get paid

I don't know how you guys can call the defense horrible when they were on the field the WHOLE GAME.  Darnold had 99 yards passing until we scored a touchdown toward the end of the game. They were gassed;. 

Defense can't make plays consistently to get off the field. Coaching sucks. Darnold has no one to check down to. CMC, Dan Arnold, and Zylstra are all he had going into the season.

Welcome to college coaching in the pros

Coaching stinks and front office has left Sam with nothing to rely on. Need check downs and protection.

Sam is all alone out there when the game matters with nothing to rely on but himself.

Need CMC, Dan Arnold, and Curtis Samuel back for Sam to run this offense. Fitterer stripped this offense of its legs to stand on.

D looks soft

Panthers have a final try at not screwing up. Defensive players need to win with fundamentals and stop being heroes. Sam needs to ignore the coaches because they're still calling plays like they have CMC, Curtis Samuel, and Dan Arnold on offense for checkdowns. Sam calls plays, Sam runs, and Sam goes for big plays if they're open. If Sam gets injured, oh well... season over.

Not going to win with this coaching and front office.

Horrible coaching

Players are too worried about being heroes and getting paychecks.

Too much ego is killing this defense in crunch time. Miss the real defensive leaders.

Just make the tackle Burns. Trying to always be the hero and costing the defense in crunch time.

Run Sam run. Do it in spite of the coaching and front office. Sam needs to call his own plays. Nothing reliable to check down too for Brady's offense. Great job Sam. Keep calling your own plays. I know you'll be yelled at but f the coaches.

Need reliable check downs and hands. Players like CMC, Dan Arnold, and Curtis Samuel only need apply. Ignore all calls from Fitterer.

Coaches and front office are costing this team big time. Thanks. GL Sam, you have been left to fend for yourself.

No CMC and no Dan Arnold. Add no offensive line. The front office has left Sam Darnold on an island with no reliable check downs. He is better off just running it himself until he sees a big open shot to take.

The players are playoff quality. Not championship quality though.

They look great with what the coaches have prepared them for.

The problem is Rhule neglects preparing the team for game winning scenarios, and that is so much more important in the NFL than it is in college. The team looks so sloppy when they are in the critical game situations. It's not a single player that's the problem. The offense and defense are not prepared for game winning scenarios. We know the kicking game is messed up too. When the game is on the line the coaches are not prepared.

Bridgewater spoke the truth and Bridgewater was not the problem. More DBs and great players will never overcome piss poor coaching preparation. Rhule is the weak point on this team and still learning.

Buffalo and Washington have a better chance at winning a championship than Carolina. At least Carolina has a better shot than NY Giants.

Learn the lesson on what a quality front office and head coach look like, and you will be in a position to at least compete for a championship 2 or 3 times in a decade. Then get the top 9 players right and you can experience a dynasty.

I have no confidence in Rhule's coaching or Fitterer's front office to build a champion. Just wasting CMCs talent.

A coach who prepares his team to win at the most crucial minutes of the game at the NFL level. That's your answer.

For a coach who wants to win one more play than the opponent, he sure doesn't prepare his team during the week to do that. The Panthers redzone, 1 minute, 2 minute, and 4 minute offense are poorly coached. The Panthers prevent and redzone defense are poorly coached. Huge lack of preparation in the areas needed to win by one more play.

This is all on Rhule for positioning and preparing a team to lose. Bridgewater shined the light on it from last season, and it's staring us all in the face now. Are we waiting for Darnold, Anderson, Moore, and CMC to shine the light on this poor preparation too?
