WHY DID HAYDEN HURST STOP RUNNING????

The fact Thielen is doing what he's doing proves a WR can thrive in this offense... the issue is the receivers outside of him SUCK and Thielen, for as good as he has been, is still limited to the slot.

OL getting abused

Panthers are 100% onside kicking it to start the second half.

A touchdown would have been nice but that is a great drive to finish the half.

14 points isn't a bad first half. Unfortunately we just aren't talented enough to keep up with Miami.

Yeah Shenault is done for the day.

Eh, I agree he needs to work on it but also he was getting pressured up the middle which rushed the throw.

Who is Nick Thurman? Literally have never heard of him.

WHAT A THROW

The OL run blocking isn't bad. The problem was Miles Sanders has ZERO VISION.

TREMBLE

Dolphins lol

Miles Sanders is so garbage. Chubba better be the starter going forward.

One of the worst multi-year starters in Panthers history.

I love Steve Smith the player, but he is such a tool as an analyst. It hurts me to say it but it is true. He takes way too many shots at players. I'd bet Jeudy isn't the only one who doesn't like him.

I love his game, but his skill-set is weird. He runs so slow but cuts so fast.

2008-2011 Panthers literally had an all-time great rushing attack. IIRC, the 2011 running game was the highest-graded rushing attack that Football Outsiders had ever recorded. 2 1,100-yard backs in 2009. Incredible seasons from Stewart and Williams in 2008. Hell even the 2010 running game was pretty solid given who the QB was. And that isn't even getting into the receivers. Yes, Cam Newton's team was way better. It is a damn shame how much talent we had on those late 2000s and early 2010s teams end up getting wasted. So many legendary players on those teams.

Packers are not trading Christian Watson

Terrace Marshall definitely doesn't play that fast. That was even true at LSU and was one of his negatives as a prospect, that he didn't run as fast as he was timed (here's one example of a scouting report noting it). And in Mingo's case, a 4.46 isn't particularly fast for a WR. 15 wide receivers in this past draft alone ran a faster 40. And that is just in this last draft. Almost every NFL team has at least 2, if not 3, WRs faster than Jonathan Mingo. The coaching has been bad, I agree. But these wide receivers are very slow. DJ Chark is the only one with legit speed on the field. Another issue is that while they may have straight-line speed, we have NO wide receiver with agility whatsoever. Nobody that can make a dude miss in open field outside of Shenault, who isn't fast either. That makes it harder for them to separate because it limits their route-tree. Again not defending the coaching but this is a legitimately bad and slow receiving group.

I'm not a fan of the screens, but they probably feel it is necessary given the lack of speed on the perimeter. I'm not a fan of the play-calling either but I get the screen calls.

It feels like we traded Christian McCaffrey and DJ Moore and got nothing out of it. I still believe in Bryce (but not with this current team) but we are the worst team in the NFL. We should have tanked when we had the chance after firing Rivera. Instead we signed Teddy Bridgewater and the rest is history. I still believe that offseason ruined this team. We were in the perfect position to field a bad team (because we were), get the pain over with, and have our pick of the litter, and instead thought it was worth it to sign the most average QB imaginable. Now we have no choice to tank because the team is that bad. Brian Burns and Derrick Brown are really our only very good players, and Burns doesn't even have a long-term contract. And we don't have a 2024 1st round pick. Absolute failure by this organization and it is painful to be a fan of this mess.

Am I a bad fan because I am looking forward to the skull-fugging we are about to receive at the hands of the Miami Dolphins? It is going to be glorious. And I don't say that because I don't love the Panthers. But maybe it will be the wake-up call this organization needs. It is certainly the one we deserve. I could have seen (and maybe even accepted) this season going poorly, but THIS bad? Yeah, this team needs to get slapped.

Brian Burns is 100% getting traded.

This is the worst Panthers team of all-time and we don't have a 1st round pick.
