Most troubling phrase yesterday....

In the press conference, Rivera said Bell "Did the best he could". He said it more than once.

 

 

It seems the Panthers are now settled into the notion that what we see in Byron right now is him at his best, which obviously is not good enough. The optimist in me would have much preferred to hear "Byron will have to go over the tape and get better" or "Byron had an off day, he will be ready to go Thursday".

 

But after an awful showing, the coach saying thats the best you can do? Ugh.

It appears this team is content with mediocre. Watching other teams adjust, scheme on the fly, and perform just sheds more light on how out of synch this whole franchise is. Sorry, but this fan base isn't happy with mediocre.

Nothing is going to change. It all starts at the top. This team is capable of so much more and it's disheartening to sit back and watch the same mistakes made over and over again and players being misused and/or not used at all.

hurt or not Bell and Chandler are irrelevant to success that is necessary... no excuse for "he tried" in a league where you either get it done or you don't then get replaced. so essentially he let's the plays roll as is and the players as well. smh

Rivera wasn't given the choice for a better player. And Foucalt is not remotely ready. Ugh.

 

At this point I really would be interested in seeing Norwell out there at LT just for curiosity sake. Maybe an awful idea, but at least that guy has a fire in his belly and is anxious to hit someone.

Our patchwork Oline does not afford us any mistakes on offense because we can't make it up.

 

In the first half, we ran the ball well, got into the red zone and made mistakes.  Whether it is being flagged for motion or holding or taking a sack or a dropped ball, we just dont have room for mistakes.

 

We can win some games, but have to be flawless.  That is just the way things are at the moment.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
