"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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
