I forgot Clark. Knew there was someone. But Reid has made as many mistakes as good plays, so far. But as I said, he's going to do well. But he was necessary because you spent a 3rd on a Safety that can't play ahead of Colin Jones. Could have easily had his brother. I said he did well late in FA. But Poe is nowhere near worth his contract. The DBs got hurt. Not his fault. I'm guessing we got lucky on Breeland. Wright was a good one. Sirles sucked. 

   So we have an overpaid DT

   2 injured DBs 

   A RB that hasn't done anything yet

   A Safety that has been inconsistent(understandably)

   A good slot WR value

  A viable LT who hasn't gotten Cam killed(HUGE PROPS)

  CMC, Samuel, and Moton(on his way to being the 4th All-Pro OL DG brought us) Think they aren't doing anything?

  And now we are going to use W-L records? Seriously? Something you and every Hurney apologist have cried, meant nothing for 5 years? That the route you want to take? Give Hurney credit for last year? Given the logic on here, Hurney shouldn't get credit for 4-5 years. 

23-41-- 2009-12  and salary cap , no playoffs

51- 28-1-- 2013- 17 4 playoffs, 3 DIV. One SB appearrance. 

When you want to talk about these numbers, I'm ready.

 

   

Man has done good not perfect but good. Better than DG  but DG did draft us some good players as well. He made some mistakes and Hurney has and will again. As long as the good out weigh the bad thats all that matters. I hate Norman isn' t here. We have now found him in Donte.

Define better? By what standard?

No hierarchy is complete without cam.

 

i know you covered it, but he isn’t just a quarterback who touches the ball every snap, he is is indeed a weapon of the highest tier in a ranking of of our weapons.

The beginning of the post and the title the post is referring to Cam as the leader of these cats. He is not listed because when it comes down to it he's the guy who will be making the plays in crunch time. That part is a given. We are focusing on his pride.

Hurney gave Cam offensive weapons to lean on for his first 3 seasons, and he was improving each year. Then from 2014 to 2017 he was stripped of his weapons and forced to make most of the key plays himself outside of a blanketed Greg Olsen. Now, Hurney has given Cam the weapons he needed and we can see a dramatic improvement from week to week. Cam has matured as a QB and he trusts his receivers again. Something I have not seen since 2013.

This narrative is misleading.

2014: KB is drafted in the first, Trai in the 3rd. KB fizzled out but no denying before the injury he was trending up. Trai is now a 3-time Pro Bowler. He also brought in a 3rd player for the offense: Andrew Norwell. Philly Brown, though not as strong of a pick up as the previously mentioned, was also found as a UDFA. Cotchery, old as he was, I think was a good veteran signing. Dickson too, though not old.

2015: Funchess drafted, Daryl William's drafted, Byrd undrafted. Ginn and Oher brought in from free agency. Oh yea, CAP drafted as well I guess.

2016: Legit didn't get poo for offense. Awful offseason. I will never argue this. Defense was in luxury/need mode all at once. Doo doo. Idk if as bad as the 2010 offseason where we were dumping vets and depth in prep for the lockout with Fox in a lame duck contract year. Best part about that offseason was the pre-domestic violence Greg Hardy in the 5th. They're up there together though pretty high. Wait, 2016 was when we signed Matt Kalil. Ew... 

2017: CMC, Samuel, Moton, Armah. Van Roten too. 

Playoffs made in 3 of those 4 seasons, including 2 divisional titles and a Super Bowl appearance.

He was getting weapons and protection except for the season after the SB/MVP season where the offense was high scoring despite losing the #1 WR to start the season to injury. Was expected to make it work with the same crew but replace Cotchery with KB. Oher wasn't expected to effectively be forced into retirement from concussions nor KB be gutter trash. Plus Cam being headhunted all season.

This is not a DG topic. SMH. If you want me to speak to DG, post this in a DG topic and I will speak  to it.

This is about Cam and the weapons he has been so desperately needing.

Unbelievable! The DG craze was so over-hyped that it still carries over into topics that have no mention of him. It's cult like.

I am glad the Panthers have players who can catch again and have huge potential to be franchise players that appear to have a high likelihood of staying past their rookie contracts. Look to a bright future and what may save a core that can lay the foundation for a dynasty over the next 8 to 10 seasons - a dynasty that should have started 4 to 5 seasons ago.

Nice write-up 

Thank you.

Just want to celebrate the Panthers putting in the pieces for a SB contending offense. The pieces for a SB contending defense have been there since 2012/2013. Just don't want to miss that window.

I get the feeling like the Panthers are sending a message. The coaches are keeping things close to the vest, but they will throw some of the playbook they are hiding out to let the league know the Panthers can bury you when they want to. As the offense keeps improving and showing they can execute, more and more of that playbook will appear until they drop it like a ton of bricks for their final 6 games against the Saints (3 times), Falcons, Rams, and the AFC team in the SB.

Cam never needed weapons, he just needed a competent Oline.

So his o line is decent now. So if he doesn’t need weapons then if u take cmc olsen Moore and Samuel away we still win and make playoffs??? Because cam does it all? Bull

Never said that.

See 2015.

Cam is not Ryan. He doesn’t need a Jones.

i don’t even consider him a tier 1 qb, which is funny cause his knob slobbers whined about weapons constantly.

It’s just his style. If the play calling/offense adjust to him, he needs a competent oline long before elite weapons all over the place.

I was waiting for this. Lol I was mainly referring to Lions, but through in other cats to align with a life of solitude for the panther.  Just my own spin.

Great comments but only lions live in prides as pretty much all other big cats are solitary creatures. 

I view it as a “was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor” kind of thread.  I knew where OP was coming from and he was rollin. 

 

All around good thread IMO

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
