The Gambling man and doubling down

If you have even visited a gambling table much you will eventually understand every gambler looses. Lady luck is a fickle mistress who makes you feel on top of the world or crushed under it.

This is exactly how the Carolina Panthers have operated for more than a year. We have bet the farm that our defense and offensive would hit the jackpot at the right time in the game without any adjustments. Well the devil took his due in the Super Bowl and now we are doubling down. A dangerous trend is happening and as Kenny Rodgers said "you need to know when to fold them" and walk away.

No longer can we keep expecting the big play. It's time to play small ball and get ahead of the count. We have a team that can get a lead and that's important. After that we need to adjust and keep that lead. We need to stop looking for more jackpots because they are just a mirage. Let KB and Funch eat up space in the middle. Let Tolbert, Fozzy, and Cap get you 5 on a screen. Cam if it's not there tuck the ball and get 3. So long as you are moving forward your not moving back. When you gamble you always lose eventually so we need to play smart and sound from now on.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
