Are the Panthers on the verge of Greatness?

Or on the edge of Oblivion?

Is Coach Fox playing the part of the Great Deceiver? Not showing anything of how great this team can be? This has to be the worst preseason I have ever seen from the Panthers. I'm not talking about the 0-3 record, that means nothing to me. I'm talking about the lack of anything from this team, offence or defense. After watching last nights game, it got me to thinking. Is Coach Fox just hiding how good we are. Nobody seems to be very mad about anything. Even Jake is surprisingly calm! So are the Panthers the best actors ever? Not showing anything of the team that will take the field September 13. A complete deception? Man I hope so!!

Jangler I doubt that you believe that Coach Fox is purposely causing the problems that are evident in our team's play in an effort to disguise our power for the regular season.

I do however think that just because we have some bad games doesn't mean the rest will be bad and I also think it is likely that our players will learn sufficiently from the practice we are obtaining in our preseason against all Playoff/Superbowl contending teams that at least some of the problems we are experiencing will be lessened and/or completely corrected. I also am sure that our coaching staff will spend more time preparing our team for each specific game in the regular season as opposed to running only basic plays that are used primarily to assess our players rather than running engineered plays to defeat our opponents based off of player ability and film study.

I don't think there are problems, it just seems to be dull. At least in the past we did see from time to time in preseason a good team. This year it just seem to be a clusterf*ck or is it?

Whoopsie daisy!

I did chuckle for a second over it but as I am used to dealing with people who can't name all 22 current starters on our team I found it to be an understandable mistake.

You know this is a good way to put it... the play does seem "dull." The question I pose then is: "Do you think we will see the fierce spirit and tough physical play we saw last year out of this team when the regular season starts?"

I hope so. That why I asked the Q the way I did. I didn't want it to come off as negative. Because there will be enough of that over the next few days. I really do believe we are playing possum. That was what I was going to name the thread: The Carolina Opossums... :D

1) the panthers have alot of injuries of 1st team guys that normally play together...but Del(plzzz go)homme still looks like the same old same old to me...2)Delhomme will never be "the man"...til we get a real qb we wont be going anywhere...he proved that to me last year playing Detroit,the worst team in NFL history and he had what 55 yards passing?...3)I would use Mcnown this year do or die and at end of year send Peppers(Mr. I Dont Wont To Be Here) and some draft choices to whoever has the #1 pick in 2010 and grab The Golden Calf of Bristol...then with all the great weapons we have on offense if the secondary grows up kemo comes back to stop the run and E.Brown can take up the void left by Peppers in the games he tries then we can talk long ways in the playoffs...4) UMMMMMMMM.....Cowher may be ready to comeback next year and if its so its time for Foxie to exit stage left and pick up a real coach...then we R talking dynasty rather than hope we can get to second round of playoffs....I'm sick of the same crap of watching this crappy defense that plays with no inspiraton that cant tackle and looks like they dont care...sick of Jakes very bad "Brett Farve" imitation...and giving ridiculous amounts of money to guys who dont wanna be here in the 1st place...sick of this game plan...run,run,pass,punt...every freaking time,please mix it up throw some on 1st down do some dump passes over the middle...watch film of how the cardinals dinked us to death and follow that...its either a long bomb,screen to smith(which people have learned better to defend no so doesnt work as well),or an out pattern or Jake thowing off his back foot ala Farve but yet he's not as good as Farve and just doesnt realize it and Fox doesnt realize it either but keeps rolling with him and keeps going another year without drafting a QB....getting very old guys time to try a do some different things...great coaches are known because they know how to make ADJUSTMENTS....Fox has no clue what that is or how to do it.:eek:

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
