This team will never be more than .500 with Rivera's system.

I'm just watching this crap. I'm a skeptic of CTE. To my thinking millions and millions of people have played high school football, and if it were such  big deal then we would be dealing with a zombie apocalypse by now. You know... brain dead people walking around looking for loose change in their pockets and staring at jukebox machines like they are the devil.

But after all this I must admit that there might be some truth to it. 

Let's think about this guys.... You have a QB that in his rookie season broke Peyton Manning's rookie passing record.  And this without the benefit of OTA's.  Instead of trying to build upon this Herculean accomplishment, your head coach in apparent permanent flash back wants to rebuild the 1985 Chicago Bears despite the fact that damn nearly every rule instituted in the last 25 years favors passing teams. 

Not only do these rules favor the passing team, they make it impossible for run oriented/defensive teams to compete. Matter of fact, the refs go out their way to reward teams that throw the ball by calling defensive holding on passing plays as much as the possibly can.

If that was not enough, last year the refs basically let defenses kill Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, and Alex Smith, the three best scrambling QB's in the game.  I know you think Cam had it bad last year, but there were times when I honestly feared for Alex Smith's life.

The league has said that if you do not pass the ball, then you and your QB's are fugged, but here the Panthers are sucking it up and thinking they can defense teams that actually play by the rules that the NFL wants.

Alex Smith is playing at an MVP level (ya it's only 3 games.) But he looks pretty good.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
