No country for old men and JAGS


Jmac

Recommended Posts

This team is comprised of older players on their way out  and avg/below avg talent. Previous management always diluted themselves into thinking they could squeeze one more year out of a vet, or a JAG is better then he has proven to be.

They have a handful of talented young players that should now be the building blocks of a new team and new philosophy. Status quo doesn't work and hasn't worked....just look at the  results of the 2018 season.

The time has come to do what needs TO BE DONE and move forward. Twenty plus years of mediocrity has taken it's toll on this fan base.

This team is full of soft Gettleman players who were brought in for no other reason than they were "economically sensible."

None of them buy into this team's identity, it's toughness, pride, or aggression, and though its unlikely you keep the GM in a total rebuild, it says something that the hungriest players on the field are the Hurndog's guys, Moore and Jackson most noticeably.

For guys like mike Adams, keep pounding is just this team's hashtag. The bottom falling out like this is completely uncharacteristic of a traditional panthers team. Even on poor teams that simply didn't have the talent, Steve Smith was still starting fights in meaningless Tampa December games to stick up for jimmy Clausen.

 

Teams with any semblence of physicality don't just implode like this, but the panthers are full of "pro's pro" guys, guys who are here to jog as Jarvis Landry sprints down the field and trot to the sideline with an "oh well" glare plastered on their face

This team's moto is "keep Pounding"......they talk the talk, but don't walk the walk this season. Fold like a cheap suit when things go south. Infuse youth and talented younger vets to kick start this team. Move on from the old vets and the mediocre players surrounding the core of this team.

Quit making Tepper into something he isnt. I’ll believe it when I see it. Right now, it’s looking like Jerry has Tepper by the balls and still making decisions here in Charlotte. 

Like Jerry’s statue, bet there’s some things in the contract that has Jerry making decisions for the next 10 yrs in order to Tepper to buy this team.

what lol

 No one would drop 2.5 billion dollars on anything to have someone else run the show. That is ridiculous. T didn't become a billionaire by being a fool.

Right.....like changing the midfield logo, bringing in Reid, and building a new practice facility that will put an end to Wofford training camps. Those were all Richardson decisions.

Think a little

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
