I think he's jumping the gun just a bit. We're 2-2 so that makes us a .500 team. We beat the Chargers (1-3) and the Cardinals (2-2). The two losses came against a 3-2 Tampa team and the Raiders (2-2). We've played hard in all of our games. But, if we lose to the Falcons (0-4) this week I don't think Mr. Schrager (or my fellow Huddlers) will be feeling the same way.

Ehh, we've already exceeded or matched many people's (fans, media, etc.) expectations for this season and we're only a quarter of the way through. I agree a loss this week would be brutal and feel demoralizing, but just a couple weeks ago we were the favorites for 1st overall pick and many thought we had a chance to go 0-16... 2-2 is a huge success considering the roster turnover, coaching staff turnover and all the dead cap we have.

He said we are the best story, not the best team. We were suppose to win a game or two and have the worst defense in history. We were supposed to have a coaching staff in over their heads.  We are looking like a competitive team out of the blue. That makes a good story.

Though I'm not a big fan of Peter Schrager as he seems to just be a typical NFL talk type of guy not a knowledgeable analyst. More like a Stephen A Smith.

It’s amazing what getting a smart and competent coaching staff can do for a team.

No kidding. They’ve impressed me the most because I’m sorry to sound negative that we do have talent holes in a lot of places. It does make you sad for the 2013-2017 run to think what could have been with all that talent if we had a coaching staff like this in place.

We have a young team that tries hard, every game.  Regardless of our final record, and assuming we continue to be "that team", this season is going to be our most successful since 2015.  Turning over so much of the team both on the player side and staff side . . . it's incredible.

All this premised by "assuming we continue".  If the team gives up at some point, well, we've all seen that story unfold before.  I am cautiously optimistic for our future, if not this season.

Honestly, with a coaching staff as talented as this one, the 2015 Panthers probably go undefeated and win the Super Bowl, and then follow it up with a strong run at another title in 2016.  That team was talented.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
