...than to be a #3 WR, or a #2 RB on the Carolina Panthers?


Well, maybe there is. Being a #4 WR or a #3 RB on the Carolina Panthers.

I get that CMC is unique, and our WRs are supposed to be good enough, and we're playing with a backup QB right now.

But, this has to end. Teams have started stopping some of the things we do with CMC, and we're not adjusting.

Poor coaching. Poor coordination. Poor use of personnel moves.

This points to three main people. And that is just on the offensive side of the ball.

Yeah, and it's the same thing I've been saying about Cam...  everyone seeing how horrible our team is in redzone and goal line playcalling now is because the staff was able to hide behind Cam for years.  And because they could, they rode him into the ground.  Now they're doing the same thing with CMC.  They get a talented player, whose skills can mask their ineptitude and deficiencies and they ride him into the ground without so much as a second look.  It's lazy, unimaginative coaching...  and it's why we have to have literally every call go our way yesterday, as though we were the Broncos in SB50, just to remain competitive with NO and ATL, bc their coaches actually coach and have figured Ron and his one-trick-pony-style out.

In all fairness, those calls that went our way did so because they were the right call.  The Saints made a lot of mistakes yesterday.  Had they lost, they would only have had to look in the mirror to figure out why.

True, but let's be honest, those same things have been going on in our games for YEARS, and we don't get the calls, so that's what we are accustomed to.

All I really know is after yesterday, I wouldn't mind getting Alex Kemp's crew again.

(heck, anybody but Jerome Boger)

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
