The worst OL lineups in history say hello

We went out of our way to stockpile corners and we were still the worst team in our division.

Your attempts at insults are adorable. Bless your heart. Anywho yeah we know the oline needs to be addressed. That surely could have already been in progress if not for the bumbling of Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer. But our awful passing didn't help matters and when your quarterback is fumbling and throwing interceptions and generally just playing terrible that only further helps defenses especially when they know said QB has very little deep pass accuracy to speak of. Neither of the top two quarterbacks from 2021 are the answer in that regard. This really isn't that difficult but we can help you if need be.

You were on record loving the Darnold trade so ofc you are going to go to bat for him. That's sweet. He's still a bust and we need to draft our own QB this year or next regardless of Cam or PJ.

You believe that was the #2 defense? We got gashed up and down the field. Even by the Giants and the Dolphins. Keep dreaming I guess.

Horn eventually would have taken his lumps in the second half of the season just like the rest of our corners with our offense failing to sustain so many drives. The offense desperately needs an infusion of talent and if 2021 didn't confirm that for you then nothing will.

Imagine making it through the 2021 Panthers season and your first order of business being keeping receipts to stick it to those unhappy fans instead of keeping track of the laundry list of terrible decisions by Rhule and Co. These are the same types that worshipped Dave Gettleman.

It isn't just Panthers fans giving him the side eye this morning. The team is doing a damn good job of making a mockery of itself without us.

If anyone is still enthusiastically buying what Rhule is selling without question after what he said about Slater this morning they are either insane or just looking for attention.

Yet we are still inferior to the league's worst teams like the Jaguars Jets and Lions. We're even worse than the Falcons.

Been saying this since the Rivera days. Then the first thing we did after he left and Rhule took over was dedicate an entire draft to defense

It's been noticeable. Not exactly a wise business model. It certainly hasn't had an impact on the team performing much better if anyone has actually been bothered by it though if the continued blowout losses were any indication. Even teams like the Jaguars and Lions were still fighting at the end of their season.

Right it's almost like smart teams value the trenches over stockpiling corners.

Well then it's odd you're connected at the hip with old timers venting about athletes (gasp) having fun in a football game. I wish this atrocious team had anything worth celebrating again. But some folks are okay with their team being a doormat if they don't have to see an athlete that makes them feel uncomfortable anymore.

Why do you care so much about Cam Newton? If I spent any amount of time on a Falcons board complaining about Matt Ryan I would seek therapy.

Yeah one time the majority of the hits to the head were within the pocket he was headhunted in the Super Bowl and the 2016 season opener and that was truly the beginning of the end because teams knew the refs would let it slide. There are less than a handful of "Cam heads" here the majority like myself are very much aware of where he now stands as a starting quarterback. I had already long accepted what was and anticipated retirement for him. We wouldn't even be talking about this again if Matt Rhule hadn't fell flat on his face in attempting to locate his own starting quarterback. Your little shtick may get pie from Falcons fans but most people think you are a dinosaur still parroting the same tired old man takes about showboating.

If you're going to troll at least get your facts right. Any hits to the head were within the pocket because our oline was a mess more often than not and now not only is it not any better it's somehow worse with different decision makers.

For him to make those remarks about Slater after we fielded some of the worst OL lineups in history is simply unforgivable.

Some people just wanted something to feel slightly positive about and others were just blind. I figured with his arm he had to be a marginal improvement over Teddy Checkdown but then we got a look at the Sam Darnold turnover machine Jets fans had become very familiar with. All along my preference was the draft to address the position. If there is any silver lining with this it's the fact that fans are no longer buying into this snake oil salesman routine by Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer. They got the red carpet treatment early on which I cautioned against now the knives are out in every direction.

SizzleBuzz and Gipetto to Tepper:

Even a coked out meathead like Irsay will at least put out an apology for embarrassing losses.

If you're hinting at something just speak on it lol

Are you ever not sucking up to billionaires?

Great team win. At least the Hornets are capable of giving fans something to be happy about these days
