I mean damn! We have Chubba Hubbard!!! What's everyone so sad about? lol... You are right you know. Everyone needs to chill, we did fleece the 'niners.

Nope... not a first rounder for an undersized, more 3-4 oriented DE that is not a good run stopper. For a 1st rounder it would have to be DJ.

Lol, they're going to be excited until the 'ol injury bug comes rearing it's ugly head, and that includes Garoppolo... then they'll see the true value of all those picks they gave up. Ask the Minnesota Vikings (obviously, this trade not THAT big) how the Hershel Walker trade worked out for them. I wish nothing but the best for CMC though... I hope he tastes success there. Honestly, they're set up just a bit better than the Vikings were back then, but... doesn't mean it can't bite them.

Sorry, I misread what you were referring to... why people say that's why you don't pay big money to RB's... I agree that CMC is a prolific difference maker, and affects the game. I was just speaking in terms of the Panthers and the fans screaming about this being a horrible deal. CMC had a say in this... if we had hesitated and he got hurt this weekend, then what do they get? I get why he would want to leave. He wants to win while he is still young and healthy enough to BE a difference maker. I just don't think it makes a difference for the Panthers any more... at this point Foreman will suffice. Doesn't take much scheming to beat this team. Honestly, I think it was a pretty good trade considering we got our draft picks back, late picks or not.

I think what a lot of people are not considering here is that CMC was most likely asking to be traded, he had a play in this. And consider this... what if the they had hesitated with this trade, then say, Christian goes out and plays this Sunday, then gets hurt for an extended period... what would the Panthers be offered then? I think their hand was forced and they struck while it was hot... it really wasn't a bad deal IMO.

Oh, the typical, "you don't REALLY watch football" comment, can expect at least two of those per subject. If our coaches were half as smart as our huddlers just imagine how kick ass this team would be. I was being a bit facetious, obviously Foreman is no CMC, but a lot of people said the same thing when Derrick Henry got hurt and Foreman filled in great. Foreman could easily have a 100 yard rushing game, regardless of scheme, he's a very capable RB and has pretty good hands. Albeit, our coaching staff may start Hubbard, lol. Point is... does it REALLY matter? What the hell were we winning WITH CMC? Even if he was 100% of our offense. I'm 49 years old... why the HELL would I be a "Madden player"? I have too much responsibility kid. And trust me, I've watched the game for a long damn time.

Then it will be blatantly OBVIOUS we are tanking... either way, CMC or no CMC, we are God awful.

And watch... this weekend Foreman will put up similar numbers as CMC, then you'll see the, "that's why you don't pay big bucks on RB's" comments.

Yup... and when he is injured in the next 2 to 4 games for rest of season in SF, we'll see who truly got hosed. We got all our draft picks back that we stupidly traded away for a bad QB and "serviceable" DB. Even if they are later picks it's better than no picks. Smart move IMO. 2nd 3rd AND 4th? Plus, a 5th next year? Yes!!! good trade... despite being half our offense this year, we're no less worse than we were.

Yeah, I get it... but, I'm sure Wilks will admit there were coaching mistakes as well. He needs a game or two to get a feel for what works or doesn't work within this system he has been dealt. It's a lot more complex than us huddlers and weekend warriors would like to think. I'm sure he will critique his own strategy after this game, frankly, I'm surprised the Panthers lead 10-7 at the half. I fully expected the Rams to have a "get right" game and destroy us. There's no denying they're a far better team. I'm not on a bandwagon for Wilks at all... I just think with THIS roster, an adjustment period will be required. At least a game or two, experience or no experience. I don't think Belichick could fix this in a game or two. It's a tough situation.

The big top sh*t show is in town!!!... was trying to quote Camp Fodders GIF above.

But, but... this is the "Huddle". We demand INSTANT!!

Yep! And that player just so happen to be Rhules biggest fan on the team. A lot of frustration right now, but, it's going to take Wilks a few games IF he can get these guys to come together... it's a monumental task at this point without a true QB and an OC with no creativity. Good luck is all I can say, it's a freaking mess on Mint!

I think a lot of the reaction today is based on the fact that it was the same thing. Played good in first half, enough to give us hope there is improvement, just to see the same old second half meltdown. If Panthers could put together 4 WHOLE quarters of football, even if they had lost by a field goal today, there wouldn't have been such a knee-jerk reaction. You're absolutely correct... there is a drastic lack of talent and identity with this team! It needs REAL leadership ON the field and in the locker room. Most of all, they need a QB that can at the very least manage a football game.

Lol, 'Remember the Titans!!'. He's the next Denzel!

You know what's crazy? I saw him in a preseason game against us when he was with the Colts a couple of years ago and he was lighting us up in that game. I actually said to myself that this would be a good kid to go after if he ever became available. He has all the intangibles, just don't know if he has the processing ability or work ethic.

Jeez!! Total sh*t show then... WOW!

I'm sure he feels like he's in a dirt poop mixture already. lol

Man!! This is really sad... how freaking hard can it be to simply find just a game managing QB? Panthers are hopeless right now. I've never seen the fanbase THIS depressed. I'm sorry for everyone, lol.

Damn... Locker room is a mess I'm sure. All the kings horses and all the kings men... this franchise is fugged right now, really sucks. Good luck Wilks.

So, I'm from Boone originally, but I have lived in Arizona for about 7 years now. I wasn't able to catch todays game. Give me a good broad analysis of what transpired today. Yes, I could google it, but what's more entertaining than getting the scoop from the Panthers Huddle fanbase? How did the new coaching staff look? promising? How did PJ look? More of the same old thing? Was there anything positive worth speaking of? I did see the box score... looked like the same old thing. Good first half but no second half adjustments and/or consistency. McAdoodoo, or all of the above?

Lol, speaking of culture, he even went as far as saying, "This team has never had a real culture of winning". Well... I beg to differ. The Panthers have had an identity based around Sam Mills and the "Keep Pounding" mantra. A hard nosed defense and a pounding running game. And... just enough Steve Smith, Muhsin Muhammad, Greg Olsen, etc... Oh, and by the way, multiple division titles and two Super Bowl appearances. The back to back winning season thing is a bit misleading and doesn't necessarily reflect a "culture of winning". This organization has tasted plenty of success, so Tepper is a bit off with his opinion of Panthers culture. KEEP POUNDING! Bring that mentality back!!! There's your culture!!

That does not seem too hard to imagine. Modeling pays very well these days. He could start his own line of fragrance and whiskey. lol

Good place to select more offensive linemen. Shore up our offensive line for the next 4 to 6 years.

Receptive? That might imply catching... our receivers aren't even receptive to THAT or holding on to the ball. Plenty of blame to go around. It is a sad fair of events for sure. This team cannot come together it seems.
