Panthers are 5-12 vs NFC South since 2016

Everything went to shyt after the super bowl. It was after 2015, the other South teams made moves that would position themselves to handle us; while the saints did that plus make moves that have them dominating the league.

We’ve got to blow this thing up, and build a team that will compete in the south. Build up both lines, and continue to add offensive playmakers.

Issue is Panthers match up horribly vs. Saints & Falcons, and that’s 25% of schedule every year.

Saints are just flat out better in general (and perhaps full strength Falcons roster is as well), but both have offenses built to beat the Panthers downfield and can counter the Panthers’ only dynamic offensive players (Jones is a decent counter to both Cam in containment and CmC in coverage, while the Saints take something more of a team approach). A decent draft or two can rectify that, however, as could a more forward-thinking coach.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
