"Panthers are full of themselves"

Thanks Howard.... 

This is actually the kind of narrative that our guys use to make sure they DONT overlook anybody. Trust me. I'm glad the Eagles won yesterday. 

Carolina actually prepares every single week the same week... One game at a time. But people like Erskin... give them a little extra incentive to Keep Pounding.

Sure sounds like we are full  of it.

 

It’s an “us-against-the-world" mentality that coach Ron Rivera said won’t go away.

“I’m not going to let it," he said. “That’s the truth. We have to have something to play for and something to shoot for. And I think part of it is our guys’ mentality and their thought process, the way they do things.

“We do have a lot to prove and we have to continue to do things to go there. There is a big target out there and there is somebody that is the standard. And that is who you are competing against. And once you become the standard, you become the hunted.”

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
