Is anyone here not waving the white flag?

A close loss is a loss.  We’ll see how Rhule looks against a rookie coach and roster pending demolition next week.  A loss to the Giants is the death nail.

And then the schedule actually gets tough lol

yeah I am somewhat happy without the team bounced back today, we had a new offense vs one of the best D's in the NFL. Next week is everything though, loose to the giants and ill be distraught. Its a week 1 L to an AFC team, means nothing in terms of tiebreakers.

Personally appreciate the fact that this team played a competitive game against a quality team. Normally this is the type of team that curb stomps the Panthers, particularly in the second half. Instead of looking for something else to do with my day by the third quarter, I got to watch a really good football game. Adjustments were made. Team fell short, but there's definitely hope.

Good game by the Panthers.  Ekwonu has to pay his dues, good to get the worst he'll see out of the way in week 1.  The Browns running game is the best the Panthers will see this year, but they couldn't run out the 4th quarter on the Panthers Defense.  The offense showed fortitude, shaking off early challenges and getting things moving, taking the lead with a minute and change left in the game.  McCaffrey looked good and heads into week 2 healthy.  In the end a blown call and a 58 yd fg lost this game, it happens in the NFL unfortunately.  There's a lot of positives to take away. The real test is how the Panthers play next week vs the Giants.  You can't let 1 tough loss turn into 2.  Hopefully the Panthers offense gets things going earlier.

On the season? Of course not the book is unwritten on Baker as of yet. But if anyone is still fully buying what Rhule is selling after seeing how poor the offense has been under his watch via multiple different quarterbacks and coordinators they are either mentally ill or must be related to the man.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
