Um ok.  In other news. Ive been telli g people all season it was weird that rivera kept comparing the panthers to the broncos that went to the super bowl then needed a year to regroup so to speak.  He mentioned that quite a few times.  I firmly believe this was tbe plan all along.  Get the rookies some experience and not waste money on high price free agents on a throw away season.  It would explain the non urgency by rivera and staff to win.

That makes sense, but do you think they would honestly "throw away" a season. Cam and Luke aren't getting younger know what I mean.

Don't think it was intended to be a "throw away" season but I don't think they expected to be back this year. If things bounce our way in those close games we'd be in great position to make the playoffs. That didn't happen, which sucks but there's definitely reasons to be excited about the future still.

I wonder if the thinking was that with KB coming back the offense would be more potent, so it could make up for the decline in the defense with throwing rookie DBs and scrubs out there. Or who in the hell knows what Gettleman was thinking, but I can't imagine he thought we'd be marching into the playoffs. Anyone could see the Remmers was easy to exploit in the SB. None of the o-linemen in the draft would have been an upgrade over Remmers? C'mon. We just had to have Worley and Sanchez? I was pulling my hair out in the off season. We CANNOT have another off season like 2016 or we're finished. Problem areas have to be addressed. You can't just close you're eyes and rub you big belly for luck. The decline has been shocking but you could see it coming. Not spending, letting a superstar walk, starting rookies, adding scrubs, you had a bad feeling. Still I wanted to be extremely optimistic. Nope. If it looks bad in the off season, then it's going to be bad in the regular season.

      10 more carries and he'd be top 3

      Dion Dawkins on his confrontation with A’Shawn Robinson

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      Eh, hate to say it but I disagree here. A'Shawn trying telling him we can fight after the game shows where his head was at, and it wasn't in football. And if Ekwonu can get any tips from Dawkins who is a 4x Pro Bowler I'm all for it. Oh well, we live to fight another week. Would love if we're the ones frustrating the Packers with a blowout this time.

      Dowdle would probably be leading rusher or close to it had he been the lead back all season most of those guys in front have more volume of carries. Makes you wonder how his talent didn't flash in practice seeing how little use he got in the early part of the season.  It's not like it came out of nowhere he rushed for a 1000 yards last season even though just like here he started as backup and didn't get significant carries until the 2nd half of the season, Cowboys were playing an ineffective Zeke in front of him. Not sure why Jerry didnt try to resign him, but they paid for that in the game against us. Canales seemed determined to repeat the same mistake as Dallas, hopefully he's gotten out of his own way.  This team has lacked identity the past few seasons, especially have been missing that fire starter on offense like he had with Cam, Jonathan Stewart, Steve Smith's of the world. We had that briefly for 2 games hopefully the 2nd half of the season we can get back to that brand of football where teams know what we're doing but can't stop it.
