Every year since 2018 has been the same story

2018 - Started 6-2, ended 7-9
2019 - Started 5-3, ended 5-11
2020 - Started 3-2, ended 5-11
2021 - Started 3-0, 5-8 right now

This team has been incapable of sustained success. Strong starts followed by horrendous finishes. We've never had a stretch like this in team history - it's always been the opposite.

This does not happen four times in a row without reason.

Whats the common denominator with each and every one of those teams?

 

 

No fuging oline.  Teams figure us out and it goes down hill from there.

It boils down the our major weakness since 2018, a lack of consistent QB play. Some unpreventable...and some due to poor personnel evaluations.

Cam got hurt midway thru 2018 and we had to rely on a backup.

Cam only played two games in 2019. Ended the season with a backup.

We had Teddy Bridgewater in 2020. He's not the worse QB on the NFL by a longshot. But, he isn't exactly Mr.Clutch. Carolina lost 8 games by one score or less on 2020 with a shot to win each one one in the 4th quarter and Teddy couldn't manage one win.

We pinned our hopes on Sam Darnold in 2021. He became a turnover machine after week 3. PJ Walker has a live arm but he throws too many INTs and and doesn't know how/when to give up on a play. Cam is far removed from his 2015 MVP season, and he joined the team in the middle of the season which makes it even more difficult for him.

I think all of the above would have benefit from a better O-line. But, they have  all made some bad throws and poor decisions that have cost us some games. The upper echelon QBs would be more successful here despite the O-line deficiencies because they have the ability to elevate the play of their teammates. None of our QBs have been able to do that since 2018.

Right....they only need to overwhelm the line with constant bull rushes... thats the key to betting us...

It’s pretty simple. We need better decision makers. Everything starts at the top, the product you see on the field is a direct result of decision makers. 
 

Fix that and you fix your team.

Tep is too busy tonight with MLS to give a fug about the panthers...

      The Carolina Huddle

      By mccjeff · Posted

      Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
