Like, why spend all the time with the post and then end with that? 

Because I think it would make a good thread, but separate from this one because it's a different overall topic.

Think of it this way: There's already a lot of discussion here so why clog up a good offensive discussion with what's already going on?

I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down or you didn’t realize how that sounded on your end. Whatever. Continue with the..well, whatever this has turned into

See what I added above.

Basically, this thread is primarily geared to what's going on behind the scenes. A discussion of the offensive nuances would be its own topic, and a good one.

There's already a lot going on in here. That's why I'd say take that one to a place where it can be discussed on its own.

It's not an insult. Just the opposite actually...

We won decently enough with low talent last year with Wilks. As much as Tepper is to blame for this trainwreck, Reich is equally responsible. He just isn't a good coach.

Remember Mr. Scot when I said that if we hired Reich, we'd be looking for a new coach in 2 years and that Reich has already been fired 3 times for being a part of terrible, inefficient offenses, and you chided me for it and said I don't know anything?

Well, I really hate to take the W becuase I was so looking forward to a good season, but I am correct. Reich is playing football in the mid 2000's and has been one of the worst coaches this year. His offense and schemes do not fit the players we have, especially the offensive line and receivers. He's really bad and if the Panthers don't cut their losses after this season and go into a different direction, we are going 3-14 again next year and will be looking at a new QB at the top of the draft yet again.

Related to the topic...

One of the things I had forgotten to mention was that when asked about personnel, Frank Reich spoke in a little bit of a disconnected manner, saying that was a Scott Fitterer thing.

(reminded me back when Dave Gettleman would answer depth chart stuff with "that's a Ron question")

Granting that Fitterer has final say on the roster, it still struck me as an odd response when the team has previously said the roster is a collaborative approach.

Can't call it a W when he's not fired yet.

Preseason would have you thinking Stroud was an INT machine and he wasn’t ready for the NFL. Preseason ultimately doesnt tell you how somebody is about to perform in the regular season. 

It's hit or miss, making it inconsistent which means it's not an accurate indicator of the season.

Agreed. There is no metric right now one can point to based on preseason play and say if they do X at a Y level during preseason it means big things are coming! Its like the new "hes the training camp MVP" when the guy was WR8 or 9 the previous year on the practice squad. It gets folks hyped up right then but in the grand scheme of things it probably didn't lead to anything.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      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.
