David Newton (and others) think our uniforms are outdated

According the power rankings executive committee, only five teams have worse uniforms than Carolina. Fortunately for the Panthers, two of them are in the NFC South, so they rank second in the division behind New Orleans.

 

Carolina is given kudos for consistency, having stuck with basically the same black, white or blue jersey with silver pants with a predominantly silver helmet since the team began playing in 1995.

 

But in Carolina’s case, the committee says the pointed pants piping, divergent helmet stripes and color scheme “all feels badly dated.’’

 

Too bad the all-black look Carolina’s worn less than a handful of times since it debuted in 2012 was not a part of this evaluation.

 

Two years ago, that look won an NFL.com fan vote for the “Greatest Uniforms in NFL History." Yes, history. There were some questions about the voting being stacked or rigged, but that’s another debate.

That Carolina had worn that combination only once before the controversial vote was more intriguing.

 

Regardless, I agree the Panthers could use a new look.

 

We must kill David Newton.

I love our uniforms and dont want them to change. We are winning a Super Bowl in these uniforms, then why would you change it after that

 

Tell this to the Packers or Steelers. The Dolphins uniforms are updated but suck their old ones were way better

 

And the old Dolphins logo did not have to be changed the new one is gay. Bucs uniforms are nice and updated but are atrocious arena football league poo. JR dont change them, and to whoever owns after JR, hopefully MJ, and why wouldnt it be MJ, please dont change them

To that committee...

 

 

 

You don't badmouth Carolina uniforms and color schemes.  We take that poo serious.  Real serious.  Ask Derek Anderson.

 

 

it is not a "committee", it is a douchebag of one and has a thread

• All judging has been done by the Uni Watch Power Rankings Executive Committee, which has a membership of one and freely admits its biases. The committee is rather fond of striped socks, for example, but is less enthusiastic about monochromatic uniforms (solid-red, solid-black, and so on) and takes a dim view of design "innovations" that just feel like gimmicks.

Huh, I somehow completely missed that thread.  Well delete it or merge it or whatever I guess.

 

But anyways, lol how the fug is one person a "committee"?  David Newton's dumbass didn't even bother to mention that in his article.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
