Holy poo, he was WIDE OPEN.

I agree Stafford has been in an awful situation up in Detroit but not sure I'm buying his arm talent being underappreciated. Everyone has always considered him to have one of the best arms in the NFL.

He looked a LOT better early than he has in recent drives. I wanna see what he looks like after the half.

OMG... I thought the Rams we're gonna let Dalton run for a TD. That would've been embarrassing. Luckily he either did an awkward head first slide/dive or maybe he tripped over his own feet. Not sure which.

Yeah, it's like Teddy last year. If you just looked at the stat sheet it could look like he was having a nice, efficient game. But if you're actually watching the game you see a checkdown king holding back the offense. That's Dalton.

The Bears might be decent once they get Fields up to speed. They're running the ball well. Dalton just can't do anything to threaten to stretch the field.

Other than a turnover, that's about as bad as a "drive" gets right there.

Stafford can't hold the ball THAT long.

Damn, LeBron. Just take a razor to it. It's over, man.

Wow. That was pretty blatant DPI.

That looked like Greg Little at LT. Yikes.

Hey, whatever works.

Didn't look very good today. Basically looked like a slower version of Funchess. Big guy who plays small.

Over reliance on CMC and then Darnold just flat out missed two TD throws. Hit on those two throws and we put up 30+.

It looked like he finally played like he had the confidence in himself that the Panthers have always had in him.

Meanwhile, shouldn't take the Bears long to just go with Fields. Dalton is awful.

Well, damn. That's quite the debut throw for Stafford in L.A.

I've been hard on Shaq. Not that I've ever considered him a "bad" player, just that I've never felt he was the type of player who should've gotten the contract Hurney gave him. I guess that's not really being hard on Shaq, it's more being hard on our historic poor cap management with Hurney. Anyway... Shaq IMO had by far his best game as a Panther today. Led the team in tackles. Had a sack. Had an INT. Very nearly had a second INT. Broke up three passes with excellent coverage all day long. This is the type of performance the Panthers have always clearly thought him capable of having. Keep this up and all of a sudden that contract starts to look like a bargain.

That was a much smaller forum with a few dozen regular posters and not the constant stream of trolls and overreactionaries that a much higher traffic forum brings. A lot easier to be seen as even keel in the former environment because people aren't constantly overreacting to any and every post.

Yeah, I would've taken Fields. That doesn't mean I don't like Horn or that I don't expect him to do well. The overall direction of the franchise hasn't been very positive lately. When it turns positive I'll get more positive.

You mean when we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs? Yes, I root for us to lose. Why? Because that's what's in the best interests of the team. Find what I've said negative about our draft picks from the last two years. Yeah, sorry most of our free agent moves this off-season weren't great. I call things like I see them with no attempt to be overtly positive or negative. We're on a three year losing streak. Yeah, there's probably some negative things to point out.

Pretty much where I'm at. I don't like our chances but there's always a chance. Some of these folks are wound TIGHT tonight. LOL!

Use the ignore button. No, honestly I don't think we have a very good chance to beat the Saints next week. That's what this thread is about.

If your very first post is a blatant personal attack toward anyone you're getting banned. Buh bye.

20% and that might be generous.
