What will it take...for people to shut up?

While I whole heartedly agree that Jake's recent performance is appalling and we need a new direction for the team in the future, Fox has made it clear that he will be starting Delhomme Sunday.

Therefore, I see no point in bashing him as much as people on these forums have. It's not going to make Fox start Moore, it's not going to make us suddenly have enough cap room to sign someone who could start ahead of him, it's not going to get Richardson to axe Fox, it's not going to make the 5 year extension we just signed with Jake disappear, it's just pointless negativity that could hurt the confidence of the team as a whole.

I'm not slurping, nor I'm a being a homer; I'm just being rational. Everyone here has a reason to be mad about last week, and our offense in general, but at what point does all this negativity become detrimental to the team?

Things WON'T change before Sunday, and they're likely not to really change until the off season, based on how this team is run. Richardson is no Al Davis, thank god, so we're not going to turnover the entire coaching and management mid-season, which means (knowing Fox) Jake is here to stay. Unless Jake continues to string together colossal melt-downs, then we're not going to change switch horses mid-stream, it's just not something the coaches or management will do, sorry.

Insulting him and bashing him doesn't help, it's embarrassing that the fans booed him, and the way we can't be supportive of the team. Please shut the hell up about it, until things can actually be influenced. Richardson has given the reins to Fox and Hurney for another season, deal with it, we have no other choice, until the off season and until then let's try and stay supportive as long as we can bear to.

Why is it embarrasing that fans booed at a disappointing performance?

I've never understood why booing = bad fans. Maybe one of you can explain this to me.

I agree though, you play with the team you've got. Jake's our boy. As long as he's in a panthers uniform I'll support him.

Haha, I guess it did sound a little demanding at times.

Just kinda tired of the same useless negative crap that continues to be posted.

Hope some people understand.

well, if it's the sheer number of threads being made making the same point, i agree, we should have one big colossal thread for people to vent, even if it would be up to 1000 replies by now.

Fans are supporters. Booing them is not supporting them, it's actually detrimental to the team. So therefore booing means, as a fan, you do not support the team.

I can deal with shouting after a bad play, groaning as the fourth interception unveils or having a heated discussion with those round you, about how bad the team is. They are spur of the moment things which accurately portray a persons emotions when the team they support, plays badly. Booing on the other hand is a concerted effort to make one or more people feel like crap. It is not an immediate reaction, it is a premeditated attempt to actually make people feel and play worse. Why oh why would you do that to your own team?!

Considering that, how is booing something NOT to be embarressed about?

Oh and REP for the OP, couldn't agree more with your sentiments

    • looks like I was wrong on that going off memory.  It was one of a couple stats I looked at the other week.  Looks like I confused that league worst with the bad target %, yac per comp, etc stats I looked up.  Where he was league worst.  I still think solving the YAC and short pass game is the best way to maximize Bryce.  He might of thrown deep a lot.....but he has never been a good deep thrower.  Outside of PFF declaring it with what ifs. 
    • If those are T-Mac's first 2 seasons, then yes, our fans will be calling him a bust for sure.  But raw stats after the fact don't tell the full story, it all depends how they happen.   And to everyone who keeps saying he needs to get to 1,000 yard as a rookie because that's what elite rookie WRs do now, they keep just looking at things in a vacuum and not the full picture.  Usually the rookies who get to that mark are the only legitimate option in the passing attack for those teams. Anyone trying to point to guys like Nabers or BTJ last year are completely missing the point, T-Mac is not in remotely close to the same situation and is far more similar to MHJ and Odunze last year. The Giants 2nd and 3rd WRs last year were Wan'Dale Robinson and Slayton who had 699 and 573 yards, their 4th leading WR had a grand total of 62 yards in 16 games (their 3rd-7th leading rec yards were TE's and RBs). The Jags 2nd and 3rd WRs last year were Parker Washington and Kirk with 390 and 379 yards, while their 4th WR was Gabe Davis with 239 (while their 2nd leading rec yards was a TE with 411). The Cardinals had McBride with 111 catches for 1,146 yards The Bears had Moore with 98 for 966 and Allen with 70 for 744 Thielen, XL, Coker are absurdly better than the other WR options the Giants and Jags had last year, there is a real argument to make that our 4th best WR was better than those team's 2nd best.   That alone is a huge hurdle to T-Mac getting to the 1,000 yard mark as a rookie, no matter how ready he may or may not be.  MHJ was supposed to be the most pro-ready WR prospect in a LONG time and having McBride there was the main reason he finished with "only" 885 yards as a rookie.
    • They are going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at us, refs probably help them out as well. Can we steal it, I hope so.
