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

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team. Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
