Five Reasons the Panthers Are 1-5

The biggest reason the Panthers are 1-5 is because after going 15-1 Gentleman began to over value the talent on the roster.  CJ, Tolbert, Remmers, Oher, Coleman, etc.  He believed the players on the roster had more talent than they have shown.  While the rest of the league improved, we maintained the status quo.  Even regressed at CB and DE.

Let's hope this is a serious learning experience.

Tbh Stephen A Smith hit the nail on the head, arrogance. Arrogance by Gettleman for ridding Norman, Harper, Tillman, and Finnegan, and arrogance by the some of the players from the team for thinking that everything would just pick up from where it left off. The arrogance stemmed from our success last year, so maybe this season is actually a blessing in disguise but it fuging sucks to go through.

Learning experience for ron? lol no.. He keeps showing promise and then regresses, rinse and repeat since 2011.. gettleman?? maybe.. He will have to have a hell of a offseason if he wants to redeem himself around here.

I'll stab at it

1) First and most important, offseason personnel decisions that are adversely affecting this team.  We have guys who were in pampers last week starting for the defending NFC champions in the secondary.  That is unacceptable.

2)Turnovers.  What made Cam's run to MVP so extraordinary last year was limiting the turnovers while he was doing what he was doing.  Meanwhile our defense can't get any turnovers because of issue #1.

3)Injuries - If you said before the season, what 2 positions could you not afford to have injuries at, it'd be Tackle and Corner, and those 2 have lost starters.  I think this is also part of the reason for #2, cam is getting hit and we don't have our #1 corner.

4)Chemistry/Locker Room issues - I can't confirm, but it doesn't seem like this group is cohesive and on the same page.  Whether it's contract issues, anger with management over losing guys like J-no, or the riots, they just don't seem like their on the same page

5)Coaching - I personally think this is less than the others, but Shula is still atrocious.  The fact we call fly routes with awful tackles when the defense is blitzing is asking for failure.  On defense, there's little, if anything Mcdermmott can do with the turd personnel they have

 

There you have it, 5 reasons why we suck.

Here's the top 5 reasons we're 1-5... according the Sports Illustrated.

http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/10/17/

1) Secondary

2) D-Line

3) O-Line

4) Kevin Benjamin Factor (not in 100% agreement on this...but an interesting take on our issue)

5) Inconsistent play from superstars (Cam, Luke, and Thomas are cited as having had some miscues on the field this year).

Love to hear your comments on this. I think SI definitely nailed the top 3 reason.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
