Looked over stats - we aren't playing terrible on Offense. 3pt% needs to improve - but we are letting them sniff 60.0 FG% - thats insane.. if we want to run and gun - fine.. but you still have to be respectable on D.. jeezzuz

Borrego has done fine by me.. we exceeded expectations last year for sure.. players have developed under his staff - gotta win games we are expected to win now.. this is one of them sadly

I know I'm not a regular in game threads for the Hornets, but do people seriously think this team is...good?  Absolute BEST case scenario this year was the 8 seed.  Not a good look to be losing to the Cavs obviously, but the Hornets aren't exactly brimming with talent. 

I expect them to be competitive on opening night not just let mofos glide through the lane gettin yinged on.

That is why Borrego is a fine assistant coach but he just isn't head coach material. How are you going to let the opponent go on a 21-4 run to end a quarter without calling a timeout to try and cool some momentum or make a few subs when the defense looks non existent.

James Borrego just isn't a good coach. Been saying it since he was hired. Just because he worked under Pop doesn't mean he is any good.

I've liked Borrego up to this point. If he doesnt get this team playing defense through the first quarter of the season then my perception of him will change.

That's very valid. He probably doesnt want to interrupt his concept based scheme.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
