PJ literally threw it into the hands of the defenders like 3 or 4 times last night on his already limited amount of throws, and you want him to throw it MORE? 

*shrugs*

Yeah.  You either trust him or you don't.  When they trust him, you get games like he played against the Bucs and the 2nd half against the Falcons in ATL.  When they don't trust him, it keeps the other team in the game, if not outright gives it to them - like against LA, Cincy, and last night.  And yeah, guys tend to make shitty throws when they get pressured, which is what happened on both the ones he threw straight to defenders.  If they keep him clean, he is solid.  

Again, my issue is, they have to trust him if they want to win.  Period.  

I know that won't go over well here though with so many people wanting to tank for mediocre, unproven college all-stars.

The meme might be wrong, but I heard him say what I quoted.

Well, that's why I said "even if that's how he felt," because I remember him saying that also...  but I also don't think it was some personal dig at the Panthers.  I honestly think AL has grown a bit ornery in his older age...  he pretty much has talked poo about every game they've had this year on TNF, and for good reason.🤣🤣🤣  He also has made constant jokes about not wanting to go to OT and such because of how bad the quality has been, and I bekieve has even seemed to take a few jabs at Herbstreit.  At this point, I think he's just there for the check.

That's a boomer quote, these franchise quarterbacks obviously don't grow on trees. We're coming off Brady/Brees/Rodgers/Big Ben/Cam/Prime Wilson etc era. The game is changing but it was also kinda pure luck that the league had 10-15 very good QB's able to play for 10-20 years.

There's plenty of young QB talent in the league. We just don't have any of it. Fortunately for us, neither do any of our division rivals. Hell, for that matter almost all of it is in the AFC.

Al Michaels is not a boomer.

That being said, it’s a very douchey, entitled thing to say. nothing else he’s ever called compares to the miracle on ice game, either.

Not pure luck. Good coaches can take 3rd round QBs, 6th round QBs, undrafted QBs, and turn them into Championship/HoF QBs on the regular. They have written books about it and have taught future NFL coaches how to do it too.

He only got pressured a handful of times and he made horrible decisions almost every single one of them. It is quite literally impossible to keep him in a clean pocket for an entire game, having him layup interceptions to defenders every time he faces pressure is not acceptable and there is no excuse for it.

So according to you, we trusted him in the first game against the Falcons but not this past one? We lost the one we trusted him in and won the one we did not trust him in? Look man, I get that PJ is the most exciting quarterback we've had here for a while and it is at least a fun switch up from the regular dysfunction at the position, but they have every reason not to trust him. He has double the interceptions compared to touchdowns and has a habit of throwing passes straight to defenders' hands. Our only chances at winning games is to get our run game going, limit turnovers, and get stops on defense. Leaning on PJ Walker to win you games in the NFL is just not going to work.

He gives zero fugs now.  You could hear him making subtle jabs all night, about the team, the city, whatever.

All to often sports announcers  will make critical comments to appear all knowing and blessed with superior knowledge.

I have no idea if Al Michaels made continued critical comments toward our team or city but if he did, I say shame on him for stooping that low.

Cincy's not an example in this case. He was trusted, and was completing more of his passes to the Bengals than his teammates. If he wasn't benched he was gonna throw 8 interceptions.

National announcers never show respect to Carolina teams, in college or the NFL

The NFL flat out told Richardson Charlotte will never host a superbowl, and I suspect it's not a coincidence that the officiating always goes against us anytime we get close to a superbowl

It's part of being a Carolina fan, the world is against you 

Green Bay, Kansas City, and Denver will never host a Super Bowl, either. Or Chicago, Buffalo, and New England.

      Sticking it to America's Team

      By strato · Posted

      forgot to include the quote: best play in panther history   Pretty great.  X Clown also. I was always real fond of Jake’s 1st play vs Jacksonville simply for his entrance into the huddle which completely woke people up. That and what they went on to do in that game was a major turning point for the franchise.IMO. Kris Jenkins’ kick xp block vs TB is a big one for me.

      Falcons got Cousins and Penix

      I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that happened.  We might take a shot with say a fourth rounder if there is someone the staff likes.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.
