Best article ever Ed Hardin on Panthers offense

I agree with every word in this article.

 

On the last play, with everything on the line. Our 5 offensive lineman could not block their 3 pass rushers. We started game burning a time out because " oh sh!t, we need to call a play?" And we end it by laying down and letting Cam Newton get trucked one last time. 

Mike Shula, don't let the door knob hit ya where the good lord split ya! BITCH

That is brutal

but not untrue.

"In the end, only Newton had the skill and the passion to win a game against all odds. And then it all came crashing down, as we knew it would, because once again the franchise had let down its quarterback. Once again, the franchise left its own mistakes on Newton’s sore shoulder."

Newton needed a running game, but that evaporated after Week 10, which was when Jonathan Stewart’s annual expiration date arrived and reality finally settled in to the brain trust that rookie sensation Christian McCaffrey is not a running back as much as he’s a flanker.

And yet, there they were on Sunday, still sending No. 22 into the line between the tackles in a series of wasted and meaningless plays that only took time off the clock and took the ball out of the hands of the only player on the team capable of moving the offense.

He needed protection. Instead, he had five traffic cones, two of them named Kalil, one of whom an opposing New Orleans player referred to as “Speedbump McGee” after the game.

You should retire if you're an offensive lineman and the defense calls you a speed bump.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
