Olindo Mare was known as one of the more steady kickers in the league when we signed him but he's now our biggest choker. You just never know with the position there is such a heavy mental burden to it any guy save for Adam Vinatieri has gone through the struggles to some degree.

You had a seven page thread a week ago discussing how "bad" the oline looked in Houston. Maybe we should just see how they look against Dallas? And word of advice. You really need to let the Elflein thing go. If he can't see the field nothing either of us says will matter bc we can only utilize his services if he can stay healthy

Let's just focus on protecting our own qb instead of rejoicing bc we aren't as horrific as the Atlanta Falcons.

He was not like this until the team moved on from Gano. Seems like he is somehow related to him because if he isn't Graham should consider getting a restraining order.

I had us at around 9 wins. This will be a hard fought game but Dallas isn't exactly a juggernaut. It will come down to protecting Sam but our defense will continue to put in work and make Dak's life miserable.

The guy who tries to tell others they aren't really Panthers fans doesn't think we can beat one of our most despised teams? Epic weak sauce

So basically what people were saying over a month ago while others buried their heads in the sand. This is becoming a Panthers tradition I guess.

Like you aren't one of us

Shaming rhetoric like this is why there is a stigma surrounding mental health in this country and why many people fail to get help.

Sounds like a bad environment in general over there I can only imagine what the locker room is like. If he can't thrive here it isn't going to happen. Rhule will coach him up.

Cam hasn't suited up for us in over two years guy get with the times. Your boy Ted choked here when it mattered. Accept it and embrace our new quarterback and quit whining about Ellis or anyone else telling it like it is

Well head on over there if he's so good.

Yeah well we were also 28th in redzone scoring percentage last year and won 5 games. We are currently 22nd and we could use some improvement there no doubt. All of that can be helped by better oline play so let's hope there is a plan.

Thomas still has a lot to prove tho I hope he does. Biggest concern now is the oline and protecting Sam. We're playing with fire if we think we're set there.

I'm a little concerned about te depth bc I mean let's be honest Ian Thomas. But I'm definitely happy about getting another young corner on a rookie contract.

The worst team for a rookie quarterback to debut is a toss up between the Bears and Jets. If you're piling on Fields after months of screaming Adam Gase's name you're a hypocrite.

Sam Darnold doesn't give division rivals hugs on their bench while his team is losing. The comparison begins and ends there. I hope the Ravens handle business bc since 2016 and forever more it will be fug the Broncos.

@mccjeff Any thoughts on Paradis so far?

Even if Hubbard stayed the center of our line opened a gap big enough to fit a truck through. This is just plain bad. We need to explore trade options for oline help.

Options are limited bring him in. It will allow us to direct our attention to this oline and protecting Sam.

20ish with a different look at the run game. Enough with the facepalm Shula like calls of running it up the middle. Get McCaffrey in space and let Royce get the tough yards. We even saw the capabilities of Tremble we have options just have to be creative instead of mind numbing predictability.

Washed up at 27 and we have the highest paid back at 25 who has struggled to stay on the field the last two seasons with a workload that on average would lead the league in touches. There might be a lesson to be learned somewhere in there.

This is the best thing going for him and us but the average shelf life for running backs who have had a ton of a carries has not been kind. See Todd Gurley who is only two years older than McCaffrey and can't even find a team. I'm not saying that's going to happen to Christian but there are cautionary tales to be seen and the Panthers have to use this moment to decide what future they want for CMC.
