If he wins a couple games, especially against saints second stringers, not only will it say nothing it will mean a lower pick yay

Tis the magical time of year when children's imaginations run wild with thoughts of Santa Claus, and flying reindeer, and the prospect of the Panthers winning another game this season!

Sup?

Ouch.

Kind of a valid point though...

If Grier wins the last two games it will not be against backups. Indy still fighting for a playoff spot & the Saints will be fighting for a bye. Both teams have something on the line.  The Panthers have nothing but pride & auditioning for whoever will be the new coach. 

I did not know Saints would still be playing for a bye.

Are you implying that if the Saints did play their second stringers we’d still lose!?

I tend to believe that.

Too bad CMC won't be able to break the 1,000/1,000 record again.

It’s a tough spot but there are still things you can evaluate.

Good, at least this weekend I have a reason to watch the Panthers game. I'm interested to see what will Grier looks like, and see if maybe he has progressed from what he look like in the preseason.

I hope he does well but I don't think we have to worry about winning. Look for the backs to run the ball a lot (as should be the case every damn game, Allen/Grier should never throw it 40-50 times)

I hope he does very well but we lose vs Colts. If Aints playoff positioning is on the line I hope we win that game, if not then I hope we lose but Grier still plays well.

One thing I have to admit I'm curious about: Whose decision was this?

I get the impression it wasn't Perry Fewell's idea. Wouldn't think it's Marty's either. Neither of them really gain anything from this, and both could potentially have something to lose.

So, Tepper?

[MHS831]

We draft players later in the draft and trash them if they do not come in as instant successes.  Rounds one and two are basically for starters and the rest are developmental. 

With this line, he is going to struggle.

Allen should have been benched after his game Sunday.

Tepper probably wants to see what he has before heading into the offseason that is sure to be about Cam and the QB spot. 

But Allen played his way to the bench; it could be that simple.
