Lets get this straight...

While predicting the Panthers would finish below .500 before the season started. Lets look at the situation.

You have what, 4 DTs hurt?... Thomas Davis hurt... Jordan Gross hurt... these are the main injuries I know of...

You have lack of production from your receiving core, your pass defense is improved statistically, but still lose situational football.

Your ground game is half of what it was last year...

Jake is horrible as is Fox and his playcalling. You pass anytime you're tied or losing... you keep trading your future first round picks (going to be a top 15 pick this year) for some scrubby DE who lacks production of a 1st round pick... especially how high your pick is going to be this year.

You have lack of heart from the entire team and your star gets arrested?!?!

I think this about covers this failure of a panthers team this year.

DEs taken in round one

3-Chiefs-Tyson Jackson:

14 tackles, 2 pass def., 10 games started

11-Bills-Aaron Maybin:

8 tackles, 0 games started

13-Redskins-Brian Orakpo

37 tackles, 7 sacks, 2 pass def., 11 games started

16-Chargers-Larry English

17 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 FF, 0 games started

and our own everette brown...

15 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 pass def., 2 FF, 1 game started

seems to me that aside from the freak that is orakpo (who really should have gone in the top 5 and was a real steal by the redskins) that our first round DE pick is doing pretty well.

lots of things to complain about but this isn't one of them.

English and Jackson play two different positions than our own Brown.

English is a 3-4 OLB, Jackson is a 5 technique DE in a 3-4. Not really worth comparing those to Brown. Not being nit picky, just saying.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
