Have We Really Beaten Anyone?

It's fantastic starting out 4 and 0. I couldn't ask for a more impressive start from my Panthers. Our O-line is protecting our Franchise. Cam looks better than ever. Our defense looks poised to be dominant; one of, if not the best, defenses in the NFL this season. We all expect a healthy Luke to be back for our next game. We should be riding into this bye flying high right? Yeah of course to some degree... but we can't afford to be complacent.

I think it's good to look at what we've done so far, and instead of being awestruck by the success,we should be feeling we still have everything to prove. The Super Bowl isn't won in the first four weeks. We're far from our goal. Our players and our coaches should not relax for a minute. We need to emerge on the 18th hungry and prepared to stomp some faces. 

Luckily we are facing the Seahawks coming out of the bye. It only takes a short-memory to harbor ill-feelings towards this team. They've beaten us again and again-most recently and painfully in the Divisional round last year. According to my research we haven't beaten them since Dec. 16th, 2007. We have a grudge and we need satisfaction. We haven't beaten anyone yet. Now is not the time to bask in the glory of starting 4 and Oh. Now is the time to focus in and prepare for greatness. Now is the time to show the world and the media that the Carolina Panthers are for real and that the Superbowl is coming through Charlotte, North Carolina.

You can only play the teams that are on the schedule and everyone knows the old adage "any given Sunday." 

Well, we've won every-given Sunday so far and yes, the Jags are a dangerous team. The 'Phins were supposed to be on the up and up. We can't control the Saints being without Breea (even though McCown or whoever it was that played performed as good, if not better than Bree's might have.) 

im just tired of the argument, these teams that we've played have just played good or better teams than they are and by it being any-given Sunday, these teams haven't won much.

everyone knows who the better teams are, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten. We'll play 4-solid teams that we may be under-dogs against come game day. 

We'll see what kind of team we have after the bye and then we can start debating. Till then, we've beaten teams we were favored against on paper.

We've beaten everyone they've scheduled us to play so far. This is the NFL, not the WWE ... we can't just sneak attack the Patriots on their practice field and go four quarters on them.

 

That would be pretty wild if you got one surprise game a year... Danged Patriots would bring in a folding metal chair every time, though.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
