How is he still on this team?

 

I know he's a vet, but that should have only given him a pass for the first few games.

Dude is getting worse and worse.  I dont know know 1 RB/FB in the whole league who is worse of a blocker than him.  He might as well just fall lay down and hope the defender falls over him blitzing rather than attempt to block.

His strength thats kept him in the league as a runner and pass catcher is no longer there.  Im not sure if hes had a run all season go over 1 yard.

Just like other areas on the team, we have had and still have many chances to upgrade weaknesses but refuse to. Reese should've been on the team already.

This one should be easy though.  Its not like your going to break the bank on a FB haha.  They are one of the cheapest positions to upgrade unlike OT, Safety, and DE which will cost you and pretty penny and may hurt the chance of resigning a core player like Turner or KK.  A new improved FB qould be chump change in addition to cutting him will open a little more cap

Lacking an All-Pro fullback is what cost us this game. Hell, simply being a FB in today's NFL is about enough to qualify as an All-Pro since most teams don't even use one.

Good grief, I know everyone is pissed and I know Tolbert is a shadow of his former self, but the fact that our FB is washed up is the least of our concerns right now.

Ron Rivera loves his veterans.

Doesn't matter if they have a damn thing left in the tank, he love'em.

CAP may not be the be-all and end-all of running backs and he hasn't proven anything yet in this league (mainly because he sits inactive every goddam weekend), but I don't see how in the world he could be any worse for this team than Tolbert.

Tolbert is a nice guy but as a football player he is complete trash. He whiffs on blocks every week and he is no longer a punishing runner or agile receiver. He no longer serves a purpose and good coaches understand that once a player can no longer help you win it is time to cut bait regardless of him being a vet or nice guy.

      It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?

      I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft.

      K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
