What did we used to be?

A team we enjoyed watching, even if the result’s weren’t always great. A team that had a personality, and players who played with passion. 
 

Even though we lost last week it was the most fun I’ve had watching a Panthers game in years, maybe with the exception of Cam’s game against AZ last year. I know I’m not alone in that either. I felt like we had a chance even when we were behind, and that our players hadn’t given up. That’s been missing for so long. We actually looked like a team that deserved to be on an NFL field. 
 

I don’t know if Wilks is the right long term answer at HC, but I know for sure that I respect the hell out of what he’s done for the team since taking over.

People are saying Cam is done without first seeing him in an adequate position to succeed.

Nobody can honestly say his last two years he was in position to succeed.

Cam deserves a chance to play behind this line.

I’ve met him. I love him dearly 

I’d rather he retire and not have his brains knocked out. God knows how many concussions he has really had.  Opening night sept 2016 probably gave him several

his shoulder is shot 

it’s unfair but it’s the truth  

everyone needs to move on

That’s why I don’t want Wilks for next year. We don’t need to be the old Panthers, they never won a Super Bowl. We need a coach like we’ve never had before. A winner. 

Exactly.   I've been a fan of the panthers since they were created and we have had some really good teams that I have absolutely loved, and can be nostalgic over for the rest of my life, but I dont want to be those panthers any more.  Stick with keep pounding and the past alive but we dont want to be the panthers of old.  We need back to back winning seasons, we need a Super Bowl.  The past was good, sometimes great, but we need to move forward.

Last week was an absolute clown show. If that's what Wilks brings and what Thompson thinks we used to be then they can both board the first train out of Charlotte.

The Panthers' identity as a franchise is inconsistency. One that's based on conservativism and a good, but not great defence. Time to kick that nonsense to the curb.

Exactly, 100%. We dont need to bring back what we used to be. That was no back to back winning seasons. No Super Bowls. No thank you.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
