When I look at how hard some folks are coping with what happened last night I'm reminded this same lot was once Matt Rhule believers and also thought we could salvage Sam Darnold.

Trading a high 2nd round pick plus change for a known bust was his biggest mistake cause he was a starter for most of his 3 years as a pro and admitted to seeing ghost. I was shocked when the trade went down. Would have been much better recently to trade a 4th round pick for Trey who was still an unknown with raw talent that just needed playing experience to determine if he is a bust or not.

We honestly to do a better job of getting everyone involved on offense. I don't care who gets us going. 

But yes, given our struggles throwing beyond the LOS, our most dangerous guy with the ball in his hands would be a good person to focus on. I don't know why you're running screens to Thielen when you have a guy like Shenault.

It was a gift of a call that I'd be pissed about if the tables were turned. That ball wasn't catchable.

Good things happen when you throw it deep.  Chark was definitely unable to complete his route due to the Saints CB grabbing him and directing him out of bounds way past 5 yards deep.  Chark sold it well too.  It probably wasn't catchable, but he wasn't able to jump and make an attempt to see if it was.

The screen pass to Thielen needs to be completely removed from our offense.  Sprinkle some of that to Shenault  like you are saying and I'm good with it.   Forcing Sanders up the middle into the strength of their defense with 2 backup OGs wasn't a very good call either.   I feel like those 2 plays were 50% of our offensive calls.

Well..

And heading into this season Reich was one of the leading coaches who used the QB sneak almost to a fault on his part. Either he is a complete idiot or he didn't have full say on the pick. The more we dig into this season the more I get the sense all this stuff about our all star coaching staff and front office making the pick as a collaborative effort was smoke and mirrors. It really does look like Mr. and Mrs. Tepper made the call.

I honestly have no idea. Either way, you have to sell it as a consensus decision. Kinda like how every draft pick was the "best player on our board". I mean, you can't exactly admit that "Look at our roster guys! Cmon! We were desperate so we made a huge reach and we're praying it'll pay off despite the long history of huge reaches saying it almost certainly won't." That was the DJ Johnson pick.

Remember Tepper said in the press conference he already talked to the bryce during the college season and told him panthers needed a qb like him. He also said he was the one who pushed for the trade to number 1 as fitt was comfortable waiting for a phone call to move up to 3. Tepper tells on himself.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
