Thank God. 

 

Just listened to Grantland's preview from Mays and Barnwell and need a decent podcast to cleanse myself. Just a FYI for anyone who wants the Panthers section of Grantland's NFC South preview...Panthers section starts around 20 minutes, both have us going 7-9, laugh at the OL and say things like Norwell is a dude off the street, give more time to Foucault. Secondary is still trash (no mention of Bene or Norman), and they don't know if the DL is that good (at least for Mays).

Yet the Falcons are winning 9-10 games, and their OL and defensive issues could be fixed. Didn't bother listening to the Saints or Bucs love fest.

I can understand them predicting us to go 7-9, but for god's sake at least get the reasoning right.  If I was to make a Panthers 7-9 prediction, my reasoning would be lacking any starting caliber NFL WRs and an 0-4 stretch during murderer's row in weeks 6-9 just crushing the team's morale and confidence.

Unless we really have someone step up at WR, I'd honestly go with a 9-7 prediction right now.  On paper, there's not a worse WR corps in the league.

Great show as always

A foot injury to a 310lb man is being so overlooked.

I'm not convinced in Tolbert's value as a runner, but it isn't because of Lee Ward. He is not converting short yardage. The preseason was just Deja Vu from last year not scoring. If you asked people to say how many TDs Mike scored LY, few would've guessed zero.

Fans are questioning this because we are so terrible in the redzone and converting 3rd downs I don't want to waste carries. I don't care if he stays, just stop giving him the ball like it's 2013 when he's trending 2014. I think defenses have figured out if you just make a pileup in front of him he can't get through. Don't fight him straight up, just get to his feet.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
