same poo we had with Rivera

 

zero accountability, blame the players, missed opportunities, blah blah 

Yeah, but at least in some of those games you could legit see where the players were screwing the pooch and missing opportunities. I seen in another thread where someone said both sides of the ball looked like 1 guys that had just met each other right before the game.

10-24

how the hell did he win 10 

This post got me thinking....

Win #1 2020 - against the Chargers. Justin Herbert's second career start. If Austin Ekeler doesn't drop a lateral with a clear path to the endzone on the last play, we'd only be talking about 9 career wins. Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn fired at the end of the season.

Win #2 2020 -  against the Cardinals. Kliff Kingsbury seems to be the one coach that Rhule owns, maybe it's because he's another college coach that sucks. Kliff may not make it through the season after the way they came out in week 1.

Win #3 2020 - against the Falcons in what ended up being Dan Quinn and Thomas Dmitroff's final game after starting the season 0-5. It should be noted that we lost to them 3 weeks later at home with Raheem Morris as the interim coach.

Win #4 2020 - against the Lions. This was a team that was actively quitting on Matt Patricia who was fired 5 days later.

Win #5 2020 - the infamous game against WFT and what ended up being Dwayne Haskins last start.

Win #6 2021 - against the Jets in Zach Wilson and Robert Saleh's first game

Win #7 2021 - against the Saints. It was already mentioned in the thread but the Saints were missing 8 assistant coaches due to COVID.

Win #8 2021 - against the Texans in Davis Mills' first start and David Culley who was fired at the end of the season

Win #9 2021 - against the Falcons. Calvin Ridley was ruled out just before kickoff to take time off with mental health issues. Three weeks later, the Falcons get their revenge in BOA. 

Win #10 2021 - against the Cardinals with Colt McCoy at QB. Kliff Kingsbury again. 

So there you go - 5 of the 10 wins against head coaches who aren't head coaches in the NFL anymore. 2 more against rookie QBs making their first start, one against a QB making his last start, one against a backup QB, and one against a team whose primary weapon was declared out just a few hours before kickoff. That's how you get to 10 wins.

So any coach we win against, bet on them being fired by the end of the season?

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
