    To be honest. I still see a team with a poo ton of talent. Talent enough to be competitive with anyone. My belief is, we shall go as far as Cam will take us. A Happy and Content Cam is dangerous. At this point in time, Cam is not quite right. And we are still 2-1.

 

    There is a boat load of negativity around here at the moment. So I was just wondering if there truly was much some of you see as a positive? Are there any players, coaches, or FO personnel you are actually happy with? Or is it, this sux, that sux, the whole darn mess sux?

 

    So what say you?

i think this pic pretty much sums up the team right now on several levels.

team leadership (coaching staff/owner) isn't on the same page with the players.

i think wilkes is fine, though he has a lot of stuff to fix after that snafu against the saints. aside from that, i think there's a lot of mismanagement of the team and personnel. i'd like to be wrong, but i'm smelling too much right now that i don't like.

    Well now, that was a coherent, well though out post. Explained your fears without going overboard. Nicely done.

 

    We have issues. Everyone can see that. I have no problem discussing issues with anyone who can stay civil. But why do so many folks have to go down that dark path to let their feelings known?

 

    You say something remotely optimistic, and you are immediately branded a "Homer". Now that hurts. lol

it hasn't been ignored. they've tried. they've just failed miserably.

I should I worded it differently. Usually when teams lose a player of that caliber they tend to try and draft a replacement. Example: We cut smith and used our first on Benjamin. The only thing the Panthers have done is take some late round flyers and sign Oher two years after Gross retired and now Matt kalil.

Reading over this just made me sad. Poor Cam.

I don't have a problem with the talent on the team with the exception of left tackle which has been ignored since Gross retired. 

 

 

    On the surface, this may seem true. But if you look at it in total, we have tried to fix it. Now maybe, most fans don't see it that way. However, if you are honest. There have been precious few opportunities to actually upgrade LT.

With a position so important you do what you have to do to try and protect your franchise QB. 

It is inexcusable to start a season where your starting tackles are an undrafted free agent and a defensive tackle.

same goes for those who don't have a lot of confidence at the moment. immediately branded bad or negative fans. bad fans are the ones who bounce from team to team. the ones that hang in there despite their lack of faith in the team's ability to go out and win every week...i think that's pretty solid. take the browns and the bills, for example. you can't honestly say that their fans are overflowing with optimism. they understand the reality of the situation their teams are in, but love their team anyway. would a fan of their team who set the bar for success at just having a winning season be any less of a fan who expected a superbowl?

most of the fans posting in here (even the negative ones) have been here since before rivera and cam came on the scene. they/we endured the last few years of fox and probably were fans predating seifert. if you've had the fortitude to endure all the ups and downs of this team, i think that you shouldn't have the term "bad fan" thrust on you.

    That is a valid concern. My only comment on this is, we really had precious few legit opportunities to upgrade LT. Until this year, we could not afford a top level LT, so that path was basically closed. Trade? Although rare, they do happen. I just wouldn't count on that direction. Which leaves the draft. Some will say we passed on talent. Others will say there was talent to be had.

 

    One thing or another? We tried. For whatever reason, we just did not finish the job.

      Dave Canales for Coach of the Year - NY Times

      By Basbear · Posted

      Yea, its a awful year for COY there's like 5 coaches Id as a  non-panther fan say are more worthy than Dave. Ben Johnson is doing similar to Dave by taking a yearly loser into a winner, but da bears are what 9-10 wins right now. Liam Coen has the fuging jags at 9-4 with similar talent to Panthers, I mean they drafted before them this pass year and had nearly zero from a guy they traded up for @#2 hunter.  ugh....Sean Payton&vance has the broncos as the current #1 seed in the AFC..... you know the broncos before the year starts you have the chiefs with mahomes&reid and chargers with herbo&harbs. No one had broncos winning there nor as a the #1 overall seed.  Mike Macdonald has the Seahawks at 10-3 compare that to Panthers 7-6, they are in a blood bath against Rams and 49ers.....shanny has half the team on IR with a 9-4 record.  Chargers are 9-4 with no OL and not much on D.  I have even put colts above Dave and the Panthers, if not for Danny injury...they were on the way and playing great. Just soooooooooooo many HC deserving this year and still more games, but Dave has over played this year for sure. I had them at a firm 2 win team, with 4 being the maybe and 7?!?!?!? being the everything goes right 7 wins is possible given the shitty NFC south.

      He did everything right but catch the ball. Kept his hands out in front, palms away from his body, watched it in, and then dropped the dam ball! Text book up until he dropped it.

      This Team...

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Just try to enjoy it for what it is. I don't need to convince myself that Young is good. He isn't. If this team makes the playoffs with the cinder block of Young dragging them down all season, even better.  But, some crucial things still need to happen, and being close, and moral victories, and at-least-they-tried isn't good enough.
