our defense is not that good either

Our defense is stunted by the offense, point blank and period. It has given the offense three pick-sixes I'm three weeks, has dealt with little rest and short fields, and it still has limited the opposition to point totals that would've allowed a credible offense to win.

I think yesterday proves to me that when Tepper fired Rhule 7 days ago that the edict to tank is on. 

It certainly feels that way, I just wonder though, obviously the players will play, but how does an organization start that conversation?

Feels like it would be a hard thing to sell Wilks on, he doesn't really gain anything by tanking - just further tarnishing his record as a HC, just to get let go at the end of the season.

Same with Fitterer - unless he was given assurances he is being retained regardless of the outcome of the season, which he may have been.

I don't know the how part - but the ultra conservative game plan including the not calling timeouts at the end of the first half just seemed so obvious that we had no plans of competing. Felt like the only objective in this game was to make CMC look good to hopefully convince a team to give up assets for him. I expect that once the trade deadline has passed you'll see more "injuries" to key players that will get them put on IR and lots of playing time for younger players that probably don't fit into our plans.

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

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So what is more important? what he did on the Saints the year before last or how he compares to a ROOKIE who clearly had problems adjusting to the LEAGUE last year on another team and it effecting win/losses? smh And you say im all over the place.  Also, i clearly gave explanations for how the seattle game played out. Its rare a qb has to throw the ball 63 times so to think it would have been a theme for the season is ludicrous... the even bigger point is that its not necessarily his fault if he has to do it in the first place like he was calling the plays but for some strange reason you continue to hold that against Dalton as if its all on him and not the guys around him racking up penalties. If he is old terrible as you say it shouldnt matter how bad the defense was he played, he shouldnt have been able to throw for over 300 yds on them with no turnovers. But this is the narratives people pushed all season, why didnt bryce turn around and destroy and even worse defense against a winless vikings the next week? Do i need to layout how dumb this logic is even more?

      I love to bash them for this move but its smart..  They have a team that can win the NFCS this year, but yet they are picking in the top 10 now.  Cousins contract is really only a 2 year deal. So Penix can sit and learn with no pressure for 2 years and in year 3 when Cousins guaranteed money is over they can plug in Penix.  If they were not in a position to win the South this year then I think this would have been bad trade, but its smart and they can afford it.

      Already noticing differences At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked.    In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.
