"Panthers were doomed from the start."

RR spoke of this early in season, something along lines of "the schedule makers did us no favors". Panthers had 4 months of repeat Superbowl losing questions. Plus they played the last game of the season, then the first of the new season AT Denver.

Still no reason to cry about scheduling, it is what it is.......

“I think for us, especially the way we lost that game in Denver, it kind of stuck with us. We weren’t able to put it in the rearview mirror.”

 

I remember saying this would happen after the Denver game. Yet people here just kept saying it's only 1 game, we're only 0-1. Anyone with a brain could tell just by watching TD's reaction to the missed field goal this was going to set the stage for the entire season. 

Gano's useless ass makes that kick and this season is A LOT different

Can't put it all on Gano. We had a double digit lead in the fourth and our offense had gone in the tank after the first half. If our offense had held up after half and our defense held up in the 4th it would never have been close, and never should've been close. Gano of course has struggled mightily and we need to bring in competition, but unlikely we upgrade significantly. Kicking has been an issue across the league except for a few teams who are fortunate. Will probably be stuck with Gano or another kicker not much better unless we do another trade for a vet like we did for Lee, which I absolutely wouldn't rule out or be against.

That jazz about needing back players (KK and Mario) is just not the reality of the NFL.

Players and teams change every year...

Yeah, I think it was a little more important last season because at least two out of three starting corners were rookies. The loss of KK would affect us, but his loss would be easier to absorb with Star and Butler (and hopefully, Love) in the mix.

That in addition to vet losses like Allen, Harper, Peanut and Cotch.

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
