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

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
