I can barely watch sports television this week. Every time I look up I’m seeing Peyton this and Cam that, and OHMYGODTHEPANTHERSGOTTHEIRSUPERBOWLJERSEYSTODAY!

IT’S LIKE WATCHING THE EX-GIRLFRIEND YOU DUMPED HOOKING UP WITH A GUY A DAY BEFORE HE BUYS THE WINNING POWERBALL TICKET.

This makes it even worse. The team that modeled themselves after us, who we’ve owned for year, who we knocked out of the playoffs a year ago, has now made us their bitch. The come back win at CenturyLink in October…. the beat down at their place in the divisional playoff round. It’s a legit Cam Newton soapbox right now (cringe), and to me, it just feels wrong. It’s like watching the ex-girlfriend you dumped hooking up with a guy a day before he buys the winning PowerBall ticket.

It would be one thing if some upstart NFC team like Philly or Washington had snuck into the Super Bowl…. we have to sit back and watch the Panthers play in, and probably win, our game.

What's this modeling ourselves after the Seahawks poo?we made some changes for sure after losing to them but the changes weren't to be like them, it was to beat them...which we did. And all we did was change what we were looking for in our secondary. As far as scheme and philosophy on defens we have been consistent from the beginning only getting better. On offense it was always going to be built around cam....you know,  the guy we took with the first pick overall, well before wilson was drafted.

Isn't more like "The Ex Girlfriend Who Dumped Him"?

And they just mad, cause they see the proverbial hand writing on the wall when they thought they would be NFC Kings for the foreseeable future.

And the fact that our QB's an integral part of his teams run (oops), just makes them even more pissed.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
