It's always felt so unnatural to me, obviously it's worked for several teams who've won it all with a 3-4, none more obvious than Denver against us but I completely agree. I hate the 3-4, I do (for now) trust Evero to make it work for us but I think it's easier to have a successful 4-3 than 3-4.

The 3-4 was the base defense for most of this team's worst seasons, sans 2010. It just doesn't work here.

Hah!  I'll see your Jordan quip and raise you:

Cam Erving validates his first round selection status by solidifying Panthers O-line.

Cam Erving proves to be a valuable piece in the panther's Offensive line room by having the flexibility to play all 5 spots on the Offensive line and sucking at every single one.

The part I've always thought but some would consider a hot take: Reich is an average at best, Rivera-esque coach that was a safe, boring hire steeped in nostalgia.

No real on-field hot take beyond that. It was the first week of preseason in the first year after complete turnover of staff, scheme changes, and picking up a rookie QB. Of course it was likely to suck.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
