Season is not over yet.  But lose 4 in a row and that 4rth being the Giants then yeah might as well call that a wrap.  Once again 4 sacks and Sam not getting a lot of time.  He may be permanently scarred.  He is just too jittery when there is even slight pressure. 

 

That said I have no idea how to fix this.  Two weeks ago I was thinking we were going to pick in the low 20's.  Last week I though high teens.  Today its looking like a top 10 pick.  No way in hell we should trade out of a top 10 pick IMO

People pointing out Sams last drive and shouting that Sam is good: One good drive against the Vikings prevent defense with Peterson out doesn’t excuse the other 3 and a half quarters of bad play. 

We're not shouting that Sam is good.

We're pointing out that Sam had a clutch drive which he never demonstrated before.

That doesn't excuse his poor play but it's just something else to talk about that's actually the only Positive in a virtual sea of Negative.  

and his WR's did nothing to help him all game until the final drive, too.

The last two games have been the same story. You simply can't win in the NFL while making THAT many mistakes. You've self inflicted too much damage to overcome.

That's very true. 

So many mistakes and not all of them fall on Sam's lap. 

Someone else said (I don't know if it was you or someone else) that it was a Complete Team Loss and that is so damn true.

From the players all the way to the Coaching staff. 

That Sam had managed to get the game to OT was fun to see but it shouldn't have come to that had he played well earlier and the WR's played well, too.

Oh and the -EFENSE did not play well (I took away their "D" because they have none).

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
