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.

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

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.

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
