Forgot to address this….I was a moderator for several years on my friends USC forum.  No word filters, no premium, open to any opposing fans from all the conferences.  There are no good manners on forums, but we also don’t self proclaim we’re any different.  clowns have boo’d our own players, screamed disparaging remarks about bad play.  My boards right now are no fun.
 

But there are limits, and those limits are concerning injury or mocking an injured player, on any team.  My season tickets were also in the rowdiest part of the stadium, lining the tunnel both teams must run out of, as you can imagine, the treatment and words directed at the opposing teams were not welcoming in the least (to state very mildly), but injury, rather it was an opposing player, much less your own?  Classless.  You stand with respect.

 

Fans are going to fan. Always have, always will. But calling one of your own teams players "Expendable"? That's a different level of fandom.

It’s not just about how a man responds to wins, it’s how he loses….many a great competitor and men that hate to lose know they must man up and face that loss….like a man.  Do you not think some of that is also reason he hasn’t been picked up, the drama that surrounds him?

The girl comment to that reporter was cringeworthy.  Not a fan of the foppish dress, but it’s his right, his money, and he’s not a bad person, just a little self absorbed.

 

The comments to Rodrigue were foolish and definitely put him in a bad light but that was also a little overblown honestly and so much more worse things have gone on with players in this league. I've never seen such a big deal made out of press conferences or postgame attire since Cam Newton. You can take from that what you will but it's never been something that has concerned me personally. If he were a bad teammate that would be a different story but he was the opposite and never sought to deflect blame to any of his teammates in failure. But it's all the past now his chapter here has come to a close. The day that we have another player with a presence like his on the football field will be one to celebrate. We need a spark like that again.

I think all of us are prone to comparing our QBs to Cam, but really he was something else in so many ways.

Allen had fire... I personally think Darnold has gotten animated too.  I think the difference between those guys and Cam is that we didn't see them being dejected at tough times etc.  But I don't think that is indicative of not caring about winning... Just a different demeanor.

And plus by all accounts Darnold is a leader in the locker room.  I don't think people are just paying him lip service, either.  Unfortunately for his, his issues on the field mean it doesn't much matter how nice a locker room presence he is (although perhaps that portends a future role as a veteran backup for some young QB we draft...).

Supposedly Teddy was good in the locker room too but I think they both suffer from the same thing, everyone in that locker room knows they can't do their job properly. I would imagine that makes it pretty tough to suit up every Sunday knowing the biggest piece of the puzzle just can't get it done. 

But, back to the OL......I know that BC had a rough 4th quarter in his solo start, but I'd rather see him get more reps in this new rushing attack than Erving's lazy ass.

It’s okay. Rhule says that Erving and Elflein are very “versatile”. I will believe him. 

Versatility can be a great thing, if you know how to pick that versatile player (playing every position on the line well) think the Jets GM is happy he drafted AVT in the first round….Tyron Smith played both LT and RT well.

The play was designed for Irving to block either 45 or 23 and Paradis to block 54 who actually made the tackle.  Tremble tried with excellent hustle to block both 45 and 23.  Both Paradis and Irving effort is unacceptable but can’t just place the blame on Irving here

Yeah, Sam is such an idiot. Who is dumb enough to want to make a play in that situation?

 

And if Sam had slid, you'd probably call him out for not going for it.

 

Ah Goob, never change dude.

Going for what? What situation are you crying about now?

 

it was first and 10, if he slid it would have been 2nd and 3 at worst.

I must have missed it but who actually called Darnold expendable after the injury? That's some shitty stuff to say.

Honestly my problem with Teddy was different from most posters here but I think him speaking out against the staff at points is what did him in.

As to the OL, Erving is probably better than Christensen now but long term we know he isn't the answer so I wish this staff would let their tackle they'd drafted play... He was hit or miss tbh but the OL as a whole is also better than when he last played.  Just seems that we are stuck in a weird place with personnel on offense.

This is your original post; "Lol no. Darnold not sliding got him hurt" You have to see what this implies? That Sam was dumb for not sliding. Hence my response. 

 

If you would have said this post first? No harm no foul. Your hot take is what I responded to.

 

Sam was trying to win a football game. And you want him to slide?

How he is still playing amazes me. The coaches see this every time he plays yet they trot him back out there. 

Sure the coaches see it, the owner sees it, the players see it and we the fans see.....opposing coaches and players see it too. We also see the coaches not doing anything about it on any level. So, what are we left to believe??? We can only assume this level of effort is deemed acceptable. And that is why fans are quickly loosing faith in Rhule and Tepper.

People used to poo talk Cam all the time for not sliding, too.  Cam eventually got better at that aspect of things but I never saw him give up before a first down marker.

You do the best you can with what you've got. It's a rebuild. The Panthers chose to build D first. So the O has to suffer. NOW, if they don't build the O next. Then we can rabble rouse them unmercifully.

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The Panthers Huddle is usually just propaganda …this one was actually good im feeling good about the Morgan and Canales marriage  the proof is ‘in the pudding’ however  …and have to remember a first time head coach and players who have never played together before but they can’t possibly be worse than last year  the wild card to all this,  too,  is Young  I wish I felt better about him but I don’t  Morgan says he wants ‘dawgs’ not ‘dogs’ I.e. pit bulls vs poodles…I see young as the latter, not the former  Regardless, life is full of surprises…maybe he is a lot more than I see.  I’m not a scout or coach

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
