Jerry Richardson was a great owner and is owed our gratitude.  He didn’t deserve all the crap that came from the fanbase at the end.  His statue also needs to go back up.

My god this is more than just an unpopular take. Take out the fact that he never oversaw a team that had back to back winning seasons and employed Hurney for 2 decades. He also was forced to sell due to openly using the N word in the workplace and being a serial sexual harasser at best.

John Fox was more than ready to call it a career here. It was kind of 2 way street. Conversely, Rivera would still be here, until the very end I think, if he was not shown the door.

The franchise needs a make-over. We've been essentially the same team since the start. It's becoming stale, and for no good reason. Everything..uniforms, logo, style of play. We do not have the accomplishments to justify a "timeless" look. 

Related, it took the Falcons about 50 years for back-to-back winning seasons. We seem determined to catch up with them.

Halftime adjustments are a bit of myth. Teams have a game plan each week, and stick to it. There is not sufficient time to make major changes to that plan during the half with everything else that is going on.

Well, then...

1. For a game winning drive, I'd rather have Delhomme over Newton. 

2. Jettisoning Smitty when we did was ultimately the right call. 

3. Jeff Davidson was not the worst OC we've had. At least he understood the TE position existed.

4. While I loved Brad Hoover, he was a bit overhyped as an actual player.

1. Cam Newton was a better Quarterback than both Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan

2. DJ Moore is a legitimate number 1 Wide Receiver in the NFL

3. Brian Burns is overrated

4. Shaq Thompson is the most average football player in the league and is grossly overpaid

5. The Jaycee Horn pick was a terrible picks. Surtain, Parsons, and Slater are all better and they should have picked Fields.

6. John Fox is the best coach in franchise history and it is not particularly close

7. Jon Beason helped run Julius Peppers out of town and should have been cut for it

8. DeAngelo Williams should never be allowed in Bank of America Stadium ever again and it was absolutley egregious that he was the Panthers representative when they played over in London.

9. Jonathan Stewart is the best RB in franchise history

10. Both the Josh Norman and Steve Smith moves were the right moves

11. David Gettleman was actually a good GM

12. Julius Peppers is the best player to ever play a majority of his career for the Panthers

13. Steve Wilks would have been a disaster of a hire and should have never been named interim head coach.

14. David Tepper's progress of the Hall of Honor has been nothing short of an embarrassment 

15. The local Charlotte sports media is up there with the worst in the country and the fans of Charlotte are being done a complete disservice. 

16. Fitterer turning down 2 firsts for Burns should have been a fireable decision

im sure there are more, but those are the ones that jump out to me

 

That's the first I've heard of the Beason story. Can you tell us more about that?

he went on wfnz after a game against the cowboys where i believe it was victor butler who dominated the game. if i remember correctly jared allen was also coming off like a 5 sack performance in another, and beason pretty much called out peppers saying he needed to be more like them. he kept referencing how the vikings big time end was putting up stats and he was planning on talking to peppers about his lack of production.

it was such a stupid thing to say on the radio. best part of it was beason actually ended up never saying anything to peppers. i truly believe that was the final straw and peppers was done with carolina that day.

I love Cam, but number 1 is correct.  Jake had the 2 min offense down pat.

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
