Remember when Joe Brady said the Panthers would run the ball a lot more?

I agree to an extent.  They kid gloves'd him hard after the Giants loss.  But to this degree is definitely not sustainable, as it straps us from being able to make big plays that can win games against higher scoring offenses.  

If they are really thinking playoffs this season (which I don't see happening), we may need to give Morgan a go or find another guy out there somehow at QB (Not named Cam or Deshaun)

It could get very boring and ugly from here on out looking at a 7-10 type situation and still no QB.  Purgatory.    

That is what is going to happen unless we trade for Watson. If we don’t we have to hope we get lucky in the draft. I just have serious doubts an established vet is gonna sign here in the off-season. If they sign another mediocre vet next year I’m on the fire rhule bandwagon.

Yep.  Next year cannot in any way be a reclamation project QB and I'm not seeing Wilson, Watson, or Rodgers happening.  And I doubt Tepper wants ANOTHER experiment QB as well.  All potential vet FAs are unremarkable.

So, yep, they're going to have to take a stab at this upcoming QB class; as questionable as many may seem to think it is.  And we're looking at the 2nd-4th guy off the board.    

We may have to start convincing ourselves one of Pickett/Corral/Ridder/Strong/Howell could be good haha

I like Malik even tho I know people don’t. We’d have to mold him but the raw talent is there. I think there is still a chance for Watson. But as I said last year. If rhule wants to stay employed he’s gonna have to find a qb within 3 years of his hire date. He’s got 1 left.

I don't mind him either. My thought is if he looks legit to the scouts, he'll be the top pick so would be the one out of reach in our purgatory zone.

Hubbard still ain’t it.

You're one of those guys for whom anything short of All Pro level performance is garbage aren't you?

Hubbard is fine. He's not CMC but he doesn't need to be, and for a rookie running against defenses that are as unthreatened by his team's passing game as our opponents obviously are, he's doing a helluva job.

Remember that game where we still had Weinke and he had to be relief for Delhomme.

We ran like 90% of the game. 

Maybe go that route for the rest of the year lol

It works for a game or two. It will never work for half a season.  Teams will start doing crazy poo like putting 9 in the box and daring Darnold to throw over them. The NFL compensates against anything unbalanced that works short term very very quickly.

Yep I was joking.  See my post before that:

 I agree. Proof positive that some people are never satisfied.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
