If we lose to the Saints....

I think it would be best to use the bye week to shake things up. Honestly I'd like to see Shula go when Chud left I was on the Hue Jackson bandwagon. Jackson never really has had a good opportunity to succeed as a HC but has been in two good positions as OC. Panthers fans were spoiled Cam's first two years because Chud helped Cam get into the league and succeed with what he knew, simple play calling airing the ball out and running if he didn't see anything on his first read (or two). Him leaving was a blessing in disguise because it forced Cam to grow which he did to a certain extent.

Now we are holding him back and it seems as though instead of fixing it the FO and coaching staff are just looking to make excuses. I get tired of always hearing how bad Cam's footwork is or how he tries to force balls in tight windows. When a play is successful they say " OMG how did he do that feet weren't set and he still got it in that tight window" etc. Cam rushes a lot of passes when his feet aren't set because there's always a D lineman breathing down his throat 80% of the time he drops back. Yes you could say he drops too far back on occasion but I don't blame him I'd rather have a chance to run for my life than let the pocket collapse on me.

Before I go on ranting too much the problems are simple and not as simple as the media makes it out like Norman was our savior and kept us afloat. Last year a lot of people played well together and got on a good run things were going our way we got so many leads we barely had to play from behind and when we did it was to a lesser opponent outside of the come back in Seattle and got to watch them do what we are doing this year BEAT OURSELVES. I knew there would be growing pains with the rookie corners but I thought at least we would blitz more or sign a DE or two to have a more solid pass rush. On offense I knew we were being complacent when we resigned Oher he's solid to a certain extent but it's strange that teams with no franchise QB have the best LT's and since Gross left we've been penny pinching.

All in all there's too many little problems and no one big problem so I just see this season as an eye opening experience and pray that they use that left over cap space to address as many needs as possible and go all in next year. If not it will just be another decade of Panther fans slowly coming to the realization that this team is destined to move. I've been a fan since 95 I'm still a fan but after years of heartache you start to realize the girl you loved may not be the one for you.

TLDR;

Sometimes looking for justification can cause more confusion and disdain of the organization than just accepting what cannot be controlled by you.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
