Didn't Stew basically rush for 1,000 yards last year?

Cam looked like a complete QB in all respects last year.

He hasn't looked the same this season. For various reasons. 

But the ultimate truth of the matter is this franchise had a roster fit to make another Super Bowl run, and we didn't go all in. Ranting about Newton isn't going to change that fact.

Cam still struggled with short to mid range passing last season. Just no one cared because he was throwing bombs all game. 

The team appeared to have a roster ready to make another run, but I'm not sure why you still think that looking back at how the season has turned out. The edge rush still doesn't develop, the safety play is still abysmal, the tackle play is still lackluster, teams still tee off on Cam and take away that element of the game, KB is still a gaping hole on offense, etc.

It's comforting to think the Panthers were on the cusp of a dynasty. Even I thought we were poised to run the NFC South for the forseeable future. Turns out the Panthers just kinda caught lightning in a bottle last year.

The short passes have always been iffy.

Even with all the factors in play, we still could have at least 3-4 more wins right now if we closed out those close games.

All I'm saying is, reducing this to a Cam Newton discussion, or a Dave Gettleman discussion, or a Ron Rivera discussion, or whoever you want to blame, is pointless. Ultimately it's been a collective hatchet job this year. The cold hard truth is this franchise hasn't had back to back winning seasons yet. As much as things have changed they've stayed the same. Sooner or later something has to give.

But ranting about random stuff like nickelodeon shows really looks petty, and erodes away at the legitimacy of your discussion.

      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??

      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.
