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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
