Pejorative Miscreant

I thought this thread was going to be about Dave and Nicole's wedding reception...

With the Tepper's controlling things, the Carolina Panther's franchise must be the world's most expensive Lego set.

I don't want to say it but I have to. Yes. It would be considered dead money.

I don't think you have to be a "league source" to describe this offense as boring, predictable and lifeless although most folks will simply refer to it as historically shitty. Anyone who has watched more than one drive this season is frustrated with the offense.

I think the line looked a bit better as a whole.

He'll be one if he plays behind this line for two years.

If I'm at a restaurant being served a poo sandwich do I really care which member of the wait staff delivers the order?

I completely agree. I see how Campen could end up being the sacrificial lamb but it does not seem logical and most folks can see through that. Same core group that was a bright spot last year. A player can regress but cant see it happening to the entire line at once.

I choose to be patient cause it makes sense to me. But I do find threads asking me to be patient offputting. Kinda know how my wife feels when I ask her to calm down.

Totally right about this.

Not a fan of Tepper but I will say that he wants to win and has proven that he is not hesitant to spend lots of money to do it. Problem (I know there's more than one) is, nothing he has done thus far actually works. So here we are.

Completely agree. No one on this site would dare do that.

I appreciate OP’s attempt to see the positive but I think Occam’s gonna need a machete for this one.

Who is this Sanders cat that can catch a ball? Is he new?

Very good point and You know, I am very confused by this. The simple explanation is everyone sucks. I have an inclination to believe this to be somewhat true. But these guys do this for a living and have had somewhat moderate success. Why is it that Miles in running the wrong route on a 4th and 2? Why does Ickey look like he has no idea what his blocking assignment is? These guys look like they are getting confused on some basic assignments. Like they are just seeing some of this stuff for the first time. Just wondering if it’s bigger than a talent problem at this point.

I felt and still feel like this is going to be more of an evolution than a revolution. I think you have the same foundation, which seemed to be very shaky but there may be some different sprinkles thrown in. Not ready to judge just yet but I think the one positive take away is there seemed to be more emphasis on pushing stuff downfield. It could be my imagination but I got that vibe. Time will tell.

Good thing you got up early...

Not bothered and I think its acceptable under the circumstances. Its a milestone win of sorts given the team was 0-6 prior to this and its the first win by your rookie franchise qb. If it is a week to week thing it would be a little unsettling but I don't have a problem with this occasion. That said, I'm not a player or coach.

I would settle for just average or close to it at this point.

Thought about this and I believe by that point the refs were so used to Bryce getting the shiit knocked out of him every play that they were simply immune to the action.

The sad part of the whole thing is that our recent draft history suggests that we would not have picked a player as talented as Chad Muma, rather a development player with upside. With coaching, perhaps one day said player could have transformed Chad Muma.

Given our drafting prowess, he’s much better than the 3rd rounder we would have used the pick on.

Very accurate. That said, given the season we’ve had, being able to mention a receiver not named AT in a positive light is something to hang your hat on. personally I’ll take it at this point.

It had to be one of the 15 or so plays where he was able to get up after being buried in the turf by a defensive lineman.

I'm an NC State guy and big fan of Ickey but there is no way to defend this as he currently looks like the second coming of Byron Bell right now.
