FWIW you forgot Ryan Kalil in 2007. Pretty good pick.

Hate/haters/hating/etc in this context is just the stupidest term out there right now. Nothing you said was anything other than straight observation, and it's an unfortunately-predictable citcumstance the team is in at the moment.

Still way too early to know anything for sure but dropping the capital Carolina did to take a guy that takes time to top out at top 20 QB status would be a hard pill to swallow.

What is the point of your initial post though? The offense has been utter trash for 5 weeks now, so there is obviously something not up to par. You seem to be calling out that the offense is underperforming compared to other teams with rookies and I agree, along with the reality that the entire staff and offensive skill talent has been rebuilt. It's the literal definition of a rebuilding year.

You seem to be completely ignoring the brand new staff, new schemes, entirely new skill position starters, and things of that nature in an attempt to be snarky/edgy but those things factor in too. If other teams have those things too then it's possible either Carolina's staff sucks, the rookies suck, or some combination thereof. Either way, your comment shines light on problems in Carolina, not with such posters.

Yeah, that drive was more about the Saints inexplicably calling off the dogs than the Panthers overcoming defensive resistance. It did look nice though and is perhaps a stepping stone.

Yup, I made the same observation in the game thread. Might continue to develop but right now, absolutely zero threat to the defense.

First time I've heard the $30MM dollar man's name tonight.

The effort and execution looks exactly the same. Shocking, I know, that the team looks overall the same as they did in preseason thus far.

It's very reminiscent of the 2010 offense.

And 9 yards.

Double lolz

It's more that he's shown the same inconsistent technique and whiffing for years. I don't think anyone would question his willingness.

I live Donte's energy but see that way too much.

Fug that guy.

Man, this offense flat-out blows right now.

9 guys in the box, let's just stay in that dive play.

Little bit of spark there with their backs to the wall, credit where it's due. Let's see if it carries.

Did we ever see one in the preseason or Week 1?

Said the same thing - a boring, uninspired hire.

Lolz.

But I was told this was one of the best staffs in the entire NFL...

Nah. I was a very hardcore fan since 1995 until the Rhule/Tepper era just squashed it all... much more of 'just friends' at this point, but it does help objectivity when looking at the state of things. Tepper and the team need to show it on the field.

Foreman is a replacement-level player whose limited skills can be amplified in more traditional power running games like Carolina ran last year, but who is a poor fit/has very narrow value of any for most NFL schemes today. Sucks for him, but is the reality.
