First round pick in 2014 was on a receiver, second round pick in 2015 was on a receiver.

 

You mean we took about the 9th passing catcher at the end of the first round AFTER cutting all of our WRs just that off-season?

You do realize that Newton BEGAN that  season with rookie KB as his No. 1 WR, right?

Smith was cut for reasons other than talent. 

Benjamin was taken as quickly as they could have, and he had the second best rookie season after ODB who was never the option. 

Again these wr weren't a problem last year. It's almost as if.....there's a different problem.

I'm sorry to break some hearts, but Fiz is right.

We won today because of our defensive depth --- all of those crazy defensive draft picks and the depth in positions, and even the belief that two rookie CBs could eventually work out. That's how the game was won.

A short field for series after series in the first half allowed the team to score points, and that was purely on our defense. And that was Phillip Rivers out there (in one of his worst years, sure) not a Case Keenum or Sam Bradford.

The defense played with fire and like they really were the heir apparent to the 2015 squad.

And then Cam. 10/27 for 160 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int. As quarterbacking in the Carolinas goes, that was very Chris Weinke-esque. 31 yards on the ground doesn't shore that up much either. He was only sacked twice.

14/32 182 yards, 1 TD the week before. 14/29 246 yards, 2 TD before that against the Raiders. 14/33 192 yards, 1 TD against New Orleans. Three games in a row with just 14 completions, followed up today by just 10.

Man, I've been sniped at for saying that Cam isn't playing like Cam anymore, but the stats don't lie.  And either Fiz is completely right (and what he wrote has a lot of merit) or  Cam has just up and given up on the season, and he did it some time ago -- long before we were our of the running.

It sucks to be writing this AFTER a win, but Shula may have to go just simply because last year he took Cam as far as he could. It's going to have to take someone new to reach Cam and drag better mechanics and decision making out of him. If it can't happen, then we're going to be stuck with what Atlanta found itself in a little over a decade ago.

I seem to remember a QB that with a shorten offseason in his first year that threw for well over 4000. Funny how "coaching" and lack of offensive talent has a way eroding Newton's ability as a passer.

Hate to be that guy but you realize offenses that year got off to a record start due to the lockout... defenses caught on later in the season.

Someone could try telling Cam if the open guy is on a short route he doesn't have to throw a 100mph fast ball.

Some touch would go a long way.

Slightly off, those balls look they hurt. Jericho Cotchery called him a human jugg machine. I wouldn't want to be his son playing catch. Geesh.

The Panthers offense is not built to pass the ball 65% of the time while trailing on 40% of their offensive drives.

The read option, Ginn end arounds, QB runs and deep pass deception with Ginn will not be effective in these situations. The Panthers offense was built to bully a defense while playing with a lead. The only way to make that happen is to field a defense that does not consistently give up the lead.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Sunday Ticket is now offering a monthly subscription if you're not interested in subscribing for the full package Keep in mind that the full package will be less expensive than getting billed monthly for the same timeframe.  But for a one-off month situation? Certainly an option to consider they also don't seem to mind if 2 households share the same Sunday Ticket login. If you call and ask for discounts, they kinda allude to "do you have a friend you can share the cost with" in the conversation

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Watching ALL the games will require: Antenna or cable access to local broadcast partners to view the games of the local team. Due to blackout restrictions, the local games will not be available on Sunday Ticket.  What this means is that you DON'T NEED Sunday Ticket to view those local team's games. All games for a local team will ALWAYS be available on a local broadcast partner, no subscription required I've had success streaming the evening Sunday and Monday national games directly off the NFL/NBC/ABC websites, no subscription required. That said, ESPN may require login via your cable provider account - but it's included in your cable fee, so have fun with that.  NBC is available for free via antenna (or avail via cable, take your pick -- and ABC has been simulcasting the ESPN games, so that's also an antenna/free optio. The Peacock and Netflix exclusive games will require subscriptions to those services if the teams are not your local team YouTube will broadcast the Brazil game free  NFL Network for those random thursday games that aren't your local team... until the ESPN partnership comes into play, in which case your ESPN subscription should give you access (lots of assumptions with this bullet) Everything else is pretty much Sunday Ticket or go to your local bar I may have missed one, but the general gist is above In short, don't believe the online influences who say you need to purchase a full-year subscription to a service to watch "all" the NFL games (ie full year of Peacock). Because you don't need a full-year sub.   So no -- there is not a single service that will let you watch ALL the games Sunday Ticket will only cover you only for the sunday daytime games.

      Aaaaaaand... ND immediately throws an INT. Tried to run that same screen they've ran a dozen times tonight and Miami had two defenders sitting on it and he threw it anyway.
