Of course! It's their job, duh! I'm laughing at the anger on here over a win.

I am just mystified at how anyone would think that because the team did their job anger and disappointment is the only appropriate emotional response.  It's quite fascinating really. 

Because we've watched this movie a few times before.

My favorite is people saying they are stupid to win. Of course the players try their best. I would have preferred a loss, but you can’t blame the players for winning. Weird stuff.

You don't want to look THIS shitty in your last game prior to the playoffs. I mean, they look fuging terrible.

I've been sleeping in the spare bedroom all week because Lady Cowboy Fan had COVID. Finally got back to my normal bed last night.

Now today I've got nasty gas, and I told her the Cowboys are playing like my ass smells.

...

I'll be moving my stuff back to the spare room at halftime 😕

And we'll be watching it until they make another one. You just have to let it play out and maybe one day they will get it right.  For now I'm just going to enjoy whatever win they get. There is nothing I can think or demand they do to make it better because I have zero say in it.

The difference between Ron Rivera career and Matt Rhule's NFL career was basically nothing more than prime Cam Newton.

That isn't fair to Ron. He's not a great coach but he's significantly better than Rhule. 

That still isn't saying much.

Cam drug his ass to relevance. Three winning seasons in 12 years.

If Cam played like Superman, he had winning seasons. Outside of that...

Outside of that he's a .500 or slightly better coach.

That's still much better than Rhule

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
