  1. 1. Which season end did you feel better about?

    • 2013 Season (12-4) - Divisional Round vs San Francisco
    • 2014 Season (7-8-1) - Divisional Round @ Seattle
  2. 2. Should the Panthers fire Rivera

  3. 3. Should Cam get a contract extension

Okay, I know the sting is still fresh, so sleep on it if you must, but I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. Did you feel better about going forward after our loss last year vs San Fran, or our loss this year @ Seattle?

 

My personal thought is even though this season we didn't come close to matching last years totals, I think we're positioned in a much better spot going into the future.

 

Last year (at least to me) was a VERY pleasant surprise, but I felt like there would be a big step down in production this season. We hit on a lot of stop-gap players last season, but we all knew they were temporary players that would need replacing.

 

This season, we made it where we are with a VERY young roster, and expect us to have a better 2015 season than I expected in 2014.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like where we are now (at 7-8-1) over where we were last year after our surprising season (12-4).

 

Thoughts?

 

*Not counting playoff games in our record, since I know somebody will mention it.... likely sooner now that I have this disclaimer :P

I added 2 un-related questions. Many people are posting they think Rivera should be fired, and many that don't think Cam is a franchise QB. I think those believers have extremely unrealistic expectations of where Cam should be right now, especially with Shula calling plays. The Rivera thing I can see how some people can debate, but he got us a division title in back-to-back years (yes, I know about our division suckage). He also instills belief into his players. They never quit on him. I find it remarkable what we did with the talent we have, and a big part of that is on Rivera for a job well done (and G-man of course).

 

So those 2 questions are just out of personal curiosity. Is it really that many that want Cam & Rivera gone, or are they just the outspoken ones?

When most people have no idea what the problem really is and can't fix it, they bitch and whine hoping someone will fix it for them. These are called Saints fans and don't belong here.

 

Even the Seattle fans that visited the Huddle complimented us about our group knowledge and nice disposition. So there's no excuse to stupidly spew verbal diarrhea here because you're upset we didn't win. Guess what, we're ALL upset! And shooting off at the mouth isn't an adult response, and makes the Huddle look like a bunch of idiots to the players that DO read and lurk here. Great message you're sending them by calling for their heads. If you're that pissed off at them, meet them at the airport and tell them to their face how bad they sucked.

We had a better offensive performance on the road with rookies. 2014 was a better loss. What a weird question to ask though.

That was my mistake on the writing. I tried editing it after making the thread, but couldn't. It should be "After which season did you feel better about our team's future." Sorry about the odd wording. After 3 am, brain no work well

I will say this about the poll: It's kind of like separating the wheat from the chaff. EgoDogg should edit the poll to include question about Shula. I'm interested to know what the breakdown for firing or retaining the OC as well.

I don't think there's a need for that. If there's anyone in favor of keeping Shula, they're reputation as a poster will be tainted forever. Haha

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
