2015 Carolina Panthers should just give up?

Recommended Posts

How many Huddlers here think that the the Panther players and coaching staff are  telling  themselves and each other that the season is over?

Do you really believe this group of world class athelets that are a very prideful by nature are giving up all hope for a successful season because of the KB injury

Hell no!!! I imagine they're using all this negativity from the media and fans as bulliten board material to stoke their competitive flames even more than before. 

They know more than anyone how important KB was to our offense,  but they also know that their is enough talent and pride on this team to step up and cumulatively fill the void.

Our O-line is improved, we're stacked at the RB position,  young and promising WRs that now have the opportunity to make a name for themselves. The fact that Cam is %100  healthy cannot be overstated and last but not least, a potential top 5 defense, should give reason for much more optimisim than many are showing.

I'm looking at either of these 4 things happening:

1. Funchess becomes a 1000 yd receiver and exceeds everybody's expectations, while our other receivers pick up the slack

2. Our defense returns to form (top 5) and we field a top 10 rushing attack

3. We really do turn into dogsh*t where we get a top 5 pick and a potential Shula firing (not a bad consolation prize)

4. We just go 7-9/8-8 (mediocrity) and nothing happens which IMO is the worst thing that could happen of the 4.

Good post OP.  Obviously you're not an NC State fan (my allegiance on Saturdays is Tennessee Orange fwiw), but EVERYONE should watch the "Survive and Advance" 30 for 30 about "never giving up" in sports or life.  I also doubt these Panthers will "just give up".

I honestly didnt even read the post and just assumed this was another suicide shitpost. There is seriously so many of them that ones like this will go completely unnoticed.

We look like the Saints Report right now over one player and its embarrassing.

ok. I understand now. It's mind boggling the extent of all the fatalistic post from some fans on this board.

    • 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.
