Panthers have allowed most QB pressure, 2X closest competition

Disgusting to the Nth degree. Exhibit A why a LT needs to be our top 10 pick, no ifs, ands, buts, not passing go, not collecting $200. In addition to multiple other FA and draft acquisitions on the OL to start and as depth.

Bill Polian and the Cam haters can shove this down their @$$.

twice the rate of the number two team? that is fuging outrageous. i might actually break the kneecaps of the next person i hear complaining that cam newton is done in carolina because he just hasn't shown the ability to win this season

I misspoke in the subject line. We are 2x the top ranked Bungles.

I don't think Rivera and Gettleman even saw this coming -- at least not this bad.

Nobody thought it would be this bad. I had my doubts going into the season about the oline and the tackles specifically but old Ron was confident they would be adequate. When Gettlemen tried to find another tackle in FA I surmised that he wasn't sold that the current guys could get it done but he kept a stiff upper lip anyway.

The stat could just mean Cam holds the ball too long and takes unnecessary sacks and hits and has no pocket presence or elusiveness.

Not really. It'd still be counted as a hurry(i.e. a QB had to step up/move in the pocket because of a defender)

A better reason would be our oline sucks and we don't call enough short passes, which creates more opportunities for pressure.

    • I really think Bryce has been given so much time due to what they've put around him. In a vacuum, he hasn't been good enough. But I think we tend to be overly judgemental with him because he's our QB. Every fan base does it. You see every mistake, not just the highlights/lowlights. I've listened to Cowboys fans crap on Dak and Ravens fans crap on Lamar.  How many WRs from Bryce's rookie season are still making plays today? Probably a few starting olinemen from that year are out of the league too. Hell even his HC is out of the NFL and his OC is a TE coach right now. How many WRs from last season, Bryce's second year (other than the rookies) are making plays in the NFL today? And now in his third year, he's been passing to rookies and second year players. And the only one that was highly touted was TMac. Heck Coker wasn't even drafted, and he's easily been the second best receiver on the team. And let's not even get started on how bad the defense has been. When a team is constantly playing from behind, and/or being ran off the field (time of possession), it greatly impacts the offense's chemistry and playcalling. Look at the young QBs that are playing well right now. All of those teams have great defenses. Houston, Denver, Patriots, Cleveland, even the Saints defense has been on a bit of a tear recently.  I agree he needs to be more consistent. But to be fair, so does his supporting cast. He had some horrible fumbles early in the season. I beat him up over that just like everyone else. But we wouldn't have said that if it was Stafford. We would have rightly blamed it on the oline for allowing jail breaks when they weren't even outnumbered on blitzes, and to top it off he was throwing to a bunch of young receivers. He killed teams for blitzing him the end of last season. I don't think he forgot what to do. I think his receivers didn't know what to do. They were all young and new, other than XL, and DCs exploited that. The team is developing right now. And amazingly Bryce is playing better. Funny how that works. Let's just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. Getting there is half the fun, and the team is actually ahead of schedule.
