I don't want to say it doesn't matter because it do. But good teams compete with them and beat those teams. The Carolina Panthers are far away from being a good team year in and year out. That's because bad coaching and lower tier talent at key positions.

All 5 of our losses have been to Super Bowl winning QBs.

Gantt just tweeted this. I didn't even realize it.

Shouldn't make you feel any better/worse in my opinion, but interesting nonetheless.

That probably would have made me feel better, if not for a certain context.

Rivera used to be known as one of the best in the league at shutting down great quarterbacks (he pretty much owned Peyton). It's one of the reasons he got the job coaching the Panthers.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore :(

We just need a win, and badly. We need some confidence.

We have holes, but we shouldn't be getting blown out. I still believe this team, as constructed, can win games and make the playoffs.

We haven't had a "get right" game all season. There has been no "easy" games since week 1.

A little confidence can go a long way. We just need some wins, even if they are against weaker opponents.

Mr. Scot, do you think it is because Rivera is too soft? I've often wondered if that is the case.

Rivera has always run a scheme that's heavily dependent on DL pressure, so not having Greg Hardy has to factor in, as do Johnson's struggles.

Hesitant to say it's just that, though.

I'll say this: There's a lot more involved in being a head coach than being a coordinator.

I didn't realize that either.

Though under Rivera, we have made backups look like Super Bowl winning quarterbacks as well.

Brady Quinn starting for the Chiefs in 2012?

It's possible that Rivera does his best work against quarterbacks on whom there's a lot of tape but struggles against the lesser known.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
