 Have some perspective and patience.  

Gosh, you realize who you're talking to?  This is the Huddle! =P 

Honestly, I wasn't too surprised we lost.  Sure, the Raiders were extremely beatable, but they also spent time in player led workouts.  We didn't have that.  Heck, the fact the game was so close despite some big ole self inflicted wounds was pretty good for a first outing for a new team with little NFL experience for the coaching staff.

We all knew this would be a season of growing pains.  Let the pains begin.

Perspective: The Panthers are currently on a 9 game losing streak and just lost to one of the most beatable teams on their schedule this year.

speaking of perspective, yours seems to be very narrowed.

 

not like a new regime has been implemented across the board and you know, a global pandemic that has shut down the world.  Theres a whole lot thats happened since that 8th game to continue that "streak".

A loss is a loss. Doesn’t matter if it’s by 1 point or 100, who is the coach, or who the players are. Goes down on the stat sheet the same way. 

My perspective will start to change once they start winning a few games. I have a bad feeling this is a 2-3 win squad this year, so forgive me for not being super thrilled about that. I’ve watched a massive amount of Panthers football over the last 20 years or so, and I know a bad team when I see it. This might be the most exciting bad team the Panthers have ever fielded though, so there’s that!

@Jeremy Igo  Just saw your pinned thread and thank you for addressing former fans causing problems, but you also need to address current ones that start the whole debate of Cam vs Teddy with posts similar to the first reply to this thread.

It was a legitimate question and I was genuinely curious, it was relative to putting things into ‘perspective’ for a lot of fans -would you rather I create a thread on it?

Here is an idea stop whining like a bitch and avoid threads, posts and put users you’re too fragile to handle on ignore like a big boy.

The cam fanboys gave him every excuse in the book, literally every single one. But Teddy gets none, no ‘controversies’, nothing, nada.

Why?

Its not excuses, its frustration. The receiving corps we trotted out yesterday was better than anything we had for 9 years of Cam. Why? Why did we immediately pair our new QB with a new innovative young mind OC but for 7 years Cam had a 1970s nepotism OC and a 70 year old

im more so frustrated that we never did the things we did for Teddy for Cam even though Cam was the superior player and had the higher ceiling

 

as bad as our defense is though the more and more it makes sense that we let Cam go, because Cam will be 35 by the time we are able to put a formidable defense on the field 

 

i dont think Teddy is a bad QB at all, but he will never be able to carry an offense by himself like Cam and will need to always be surrounded by talented skill players, which means our defense is going to have to be built with solid drafting not just in the first 2 rounds and good free agent signings, which I dont think any reasonable person thinks Hurney is capable of.

The prior regime knew they could pour all resources into the defense and just having Cam on offense would be enough to score more points than our defense should allow. It ALMOST got us a Super Bowl

With Teddy were going to have to have playmakers all over the field on offense to score points and with the way the defense looks it probably wont be enough most games. So its going to take building a balanced and talented roster on both sides of the ball to be a contending team, and the biggest issue right now is we have a GM that really has not been able to do that most of the time

It feels almost as if the Cam era was under a different head coach.

Yes, I saw plenty of reasons for optimism yesterday too.

I mean, when you look at all the factors going into this season, all the inexperience and turnover, and then add covid and the resulting reduction in preparation on top of everything, I'd say we played shockingly well. Could have very well won it.

The defense is going to take time, but that was always going to be the case.

Edit: And it was a fun game to boot.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
