Offseason Examination : Carolina Panthers (NBC Sports)


Hoenheim

Recommended Posts

Might be the first content I've seen from a non-Panthers source that predicted us to be even remotely competitive this season. Actually acknowledged Cam got hurt while standing in the pocket and his tendency to hold the ball too long , while most talking heads will blather on about Cam just running too much. Said CMC is very key, actually acknowledged our WRs are decent , while I've seen several videos talking about how we lost Funchess is a big blow lol. 

What do you think of this?

 True sports analysis, and unbiased examinations of teams is a rarity. It helps to remember that sports is entertainment, and therefore media is more concerned about hyping the popular teams, creating dramatic talking points,  and building narratives that drive views and clicks. 

This applies to essentially everything in media- news, sports, money shows, history channels, etc etc.

As with every season, we are good when our key starters stay healthy.  Once the injures start to rack up, so do the loses.  The team preaches next man up, but seldom does that actually happen with much effectiveness.  It's an odd number year so there's hope!

We were a potential SB contender until Cam's arm turned to mush last year...with a shitty defense. 

IF Cam is healthy, and the defense can just be decent?  With an improved OL?  We're a playoff team for sure. 

I think the D sucked because Ron had Washington calling the plays. When Ron took over they gave up 18 on average

    • I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme
    • You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.
    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
