Psst!  Maybe you didn't hear, but patience isn't allowed!  You have to react based solely on your emotions at that time!  

I remember we struggled a bit and were bailed out on some great plays with the defense.  Then the MVP train got rolling.  Wouldn't that be nice to have start now?

We had a top 3 defense last year. We have a bottom 3 defense this year. Funny how that works.

I'm convinced that the loss of Norman is the one thing that has sent this defense down the shithole. How they thought they could roll with 3 (three)!! fuging rookie CBs and be ok is an unforgivable mistake.

The offense is not the problem at all with this team. The defense giving up 1000 passing yards against just Atlanta and NO is the problem. Giving up freaking double the amount of points per game as last year is the freaking problem. I'm disgusted and disappointed.

Offense is not the problem but those numbers are skewed. 

 

You have to look at on a game by game basis. In those first 5 games from last season Cam didn't have  a single subpar game, meanwhile this season Cam struggled against Atlanta and Minnesota.

Only huge difference is the 2 extra interceptions.

In other words, the HUGE difference on this team from last year to this year is (1) the defense's lack of ability to stop even a Pop Warner team and (2) Jonathan Stewarts continuing issues with injuries.

 

Yes, the offense (even with miscues and mistakes and terrible play calls) has been pretty steady. Defense is the biggest problem. But in true fashion, #blameitonCam. We can score, we just can't stop the other team.

Cam has struggled, but mostly due to Qb hits, and pressure.  He hasn't  been as accurate bc of it.  The offensive line has struggled with Remmers they did last year too but the defense was creating turnovers and we were scoring on short drives mixed in with some long drives which kept the ball from the opposition...This year we have the ball but are not scoring points like we should and defense is not creating turnovers.  Those are the reasons we are exact opposite from last year.  In every game I believe we have beat the opposition  in time of possessions except vikings i believe.You hold the ball and not score and the defense does not create more opportunities, score on defense, or stop team from scoring ...having the ball longer is helping the opposition and thats what we are doing...we have to score quick but Cam looks for deep passes to do that well Shula I should say..Teams have caught onto the scheme..we need more short quick passes to get down the field fast bc our defense is not stopping anyone or creating turnovers like they did last year.

Offensive line struggled in the 2nd half vs Minnesota more than anything else...

if you didn't look at the scoreboard you would have thought we would have been up by at least 14 pts at half

He also missed one game.

Historically he has kicked the poo out of Tampa so there's little doubt that would have added at least 2-3 more touchdowns.

Reading this board sometimes makes me want to give someone a lobotomy. It's like no memories here exist before 2011. People take Newton for granted.

The comparison is first 5 games so the numbers are comparable.

I'm not disputing the OP. Simply pointing out the flaw in this idiocy surrounding criticism directed at one player when our whole team has looked subpar at times. Like cutting Bene to make an example out of him when other players are underperforming as much or more.

Even with the pitiful offseason we had, I find the fact that we have taken a clear substantial step back in coaching to be the biggest concern at this point. We have been thoroughly outcoached far too often already.

If you think the Panthers are a bottom 3 defense then you must not watch many other NFL games.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
