Is this the most talented 7-9 team we’ve ever had?

Your kidding yourself if you think this team is talented. Yes, we have some very talented starters in guys like Cam, Luke, CMC, Olsen, Davis, but this team is completely devoid of talented depth and role players. 

We’re actually really talented if there were no such thing as defense or a kicking game

The 2004 team was destined for greatness and should have repeated the Super Bowl,.. been there to beat Phily and face the Patriots again,. Serious divine intervention at some of the injuries that torpedoed that season,..

No way this team minus Cam even compares

Defense is really effing rough right now regardless of coaching. Let's just get that out of the way.

But this team has tremendous Super Bowl caliber talent on offense.

It's basically John Fox all over again with the propensity for being way too reliant on a conservative play it safe style of game management. Except that Ron Rivera, through what I can only assume at this point nearly a decade into his head coaching gig is either sheer ignorance or arrogant stubbornness, simply will not ever fully embrace a more aggressive style of game management unless his back is completely against the wall when it's too late. Like going for 2 against the Lions.

    • Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.
    • Im saying its Tar Heel fans who would do that. I root for all Panthers to succeed regardless but college affiliation means zero to me
    • We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
