I’m thinking of DJ and Robby’s faces on the sideline. They have to be thinking “this guy was sold on Teddy and now Darnold….” It’s probably more frustration that anything, but that’s how it starts. IMO DJ should be a top 10 WR in this league. Get him a real QB and his stats will explode.

The tape is really tough to watch on these games. We miss a lot of wide open players on offense.

The loss to the Cardinals following the bye had everyone FREAKING out.  Maybe the score differential wasn't as bad in other games, but I'd argue that loss is definitely one of the worst regular season ones we had.  Everyone had basically given up on Ron Rivera at that point.  Cam's 3rd season and he still hadn't cut out the bad throws.  Smith dropped hella throws that game.

It was bad.  As angry as fans have been since Sunday... I still don't think it compares to the reaction/negativity following that game.  That game basically forced Ron Rivera to turn into Riverboat Ron.

I had forgotten about that one. It's closer but that Cardinals team still went 10-6  according to my research. They were led by Carson Palmer and were not a bad team at all. This Giants group is a bottom feeder, especially with all the injuries they have.

Where do the Panthers rank in dropped balls… I’m thinking pretty high. Moore and Robby should be thinking about how to catch a pass.

Moore catches plenty. He is also wide open on many plays and overlooked by Darnold. I get his frustration. Plus he knows it’s a matter of time before Sam throws a pick or fumbles.

I knew Darnold was bad. Been saying it all year when he was barely competent against poo teams. 

But damn, man... Rhule's coaching gets worse with each game. 3 Points? Against the Giants? Whew... 

It is possibly the most embarrassing loss in the history of this franchise. 

Exactly how long have you followed the Panthers?

I remember that game. Cam started out like 10/10 or 11/11 then drops started bad. That game was infuriating.

The sad thing is Gettlelman was right you need Hog Mollies. I pointed out yesterday to my wife that the Giants O line is so much bigger than ours. Our O line is pathetic! Insert any QB and they will fail.

EXACTLY!!!! You need to start with the biggest guys you can get first, especially up front. 

Not a fan of smallish QBs either.

I sincerely hope that's not what Robbie is thinking. He needs to be thinking about which sports psychologist he pay to fix his broken psyche.

Like I said before the season started, Rhule essentially Hitched his wagon on to Darnold instead of you know, a QB in the draft. But hey, we got a nice CB that's injured and.....yeah.....fug.

That team had Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly they were going to figure it out

And this team has no leaders and no identity. That’s prob the biggest issue honestly

Okay, but that was 100% NOT the thinking back then.  Let's not play revisionist history.  Everyone was calling for heads then, especially Rivera's.  I'd argue the negative reaction was worse than it is now.  It was looking like another failed season with our franchise QB.
