Ok, now I know the Panthers sucked donkey nutz last week in the opener...

The hate is flowing free and rapidly at an consistent 99% "hate rate" towards Jake.

The Defense was better than expected I guess, but, still have room for improvement.

BUT... think for a moment (I know it's hard but try)

"What if" the Panthers come out Sunday in ATL and show up... the Run game happens well, Jake is on, the Defense gets a couple Rips or an INT... and the Panther WIN.

What will you then think?

I mean, we all know there are things that need to be addressed, but, now it's gonna have to wait until next season sadly.

We have what we have. "What if" next week we see the team we expected to see with 20 of 22 returning starters and a new Defense, rejuvenated?

Just asking, to see if there are ANY positive thinkers out there at all.

My concern is how do we scheme against a strong pass rushing attack, like the Cowboys, maybe the Redskins DLine (depending if they are consistent), the Pats and Giants down the road... If our Oline is inconsistent throughout the season, I'm guessing it'll have to do with those type of defenses and the staff running them...

Jake will probably rebound and play good in the majority of the games this year. But I can guarantee you he will probably at least lose us 3 more games and up to 5 more by himself (reasonably). If you can live with that then so be it but personally I think Matt even with his lack of experience will not lose you that many. Its sad that that is all we expect of the QB now is to not lose games but it has come to that.

I also think Matt would give this team the shot in the arm it needs. And who knows it could be just what Jake needs to get back on track.

The good thing is we have a talented group. If we didn't I'd be really worried. I think the team as a whole does well Sunday. I think it's the same team we had last year a 12-4 season. They'll get even better as the season goes on. If Jake is gonna fvck up or the line or lines it's better they learn in their first game. I'll go down in flames as an optimist if not.

The Falcons will get upset this Sunday. Vegas will love it. The Cardiac Cat's will rise again.

We saw the drop off when we had a David Carr or Testaverde. Jake is a little better than having those guys and that's not as easy to come by as we think. There aren't thirty Tom Bradys out there. I can remember when we didn't have Delhomme and kind of wish he was there. Next season we went 12-4.

Nice "Foxism" you slipped in there. :D

I, for one, expect a different Panther team Sunday. A pissed off team on a mission.

If we rebound and play well this week it will underline how hysterical many folks have been. If we suck the din will grow much louder. In any even it won't stop the haters. They will simply keep predicting gloom and doom until the next poor game we have and they will be in full force for another week.

I expect this is going to be a long season no matter what.

As for Moore the reason he won't be the starter is that he doesn't make all the reads and call the audibles. Sure he went 2-1 with a very pared down simplistic gameplan. But he hasn't shown he can run the full offense or he would be the second string already. If they had faith at all that he could run the offense they would have surely not put McCown on IR and brought in Feeley. Whether you like it not, Moore won't start unless Jake gets hurt and Feeley can't play or stinks it up himself. Otherwise he is our third stringer and will likely get replaced next year.

Last year we all knew that Dwills biggest weakness was his pass protection. He did pretty good last year (not so much against the eagles). If that's his biggest weakness put him in with the ones and devote as much time as you need to get him ready.

You know Jake kinda reminds me of an old car. One thats a POS but you keep working on it and working on it. Before long you have a ton of time and money invested in a car that in the end leaves you stranded. Well he's left me stranded far to many times. Its time for us to finally put the tag on the new model and take him out for a test spin.

Okay someone help me out here... outside of the Eagles and Arizona games obviously, I have to go back to 2006 with the monday night eagles game and the bengals game to remember a game Jake has lost for us. And before that, he was more consistent and won many close games for us. He even did it a few times last year. I just have a hard time believing there will be 3 to 5 more losses this season that can be put on Jake.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      By PappyMay · Posted

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
