Anyone feel like we are playing the 03 Rams again.

I think the disparity at RB is overwhelming

No kidding. espn is making such a big deal out of james' 75 or so rushing yards, it really seems pathetic. They have NO semblance of a rushing attack at all. Come Saturday night, the whole nation will see that fact.

Don't even use the 2003 Rams and the Cardinals in the same breath.

The Rams were one of the most explosive and top teams in the league.

The Cardinals are a punchline in a sad joke.

They were 8-8 in the God Awful NFC West for Christ's sake.

They beat some of the worst teams in the league.

SF twice...both times before Singletary took over and they sucked bad

Miami....most overrated team in the league. Were exposed as a joke by Baltimore

Buffalo...once they started imploding

Dallas...during the stellar Brad Johnson era

SL...Twice...2nd worse team in the league

Seattle...twice...challenging SL for 2nd worse team in the league

What a joke....any other division and you would have been 3rd place at best.

There run game was garbage before they played Atlanta, there not going to have 2 good running games in a row.

Actually it's been 2 games in a row already. Edge had 100 yards against Seattle the last game of the season. James has only had 16 touches against Atlanta and has had a 5.8 yard per carry average since being reinserted into the lineup after being benched following the last Carolina game. James has 30 rushes for 173 yards the last two games. He has fresh legs and is running like he is auditioning for a new team next year. If Edge gets going it is going to open up our play action passes, in which Warner had a perfect 158.8 QB rating against Atlanta when passing from play action. If Edge gets going, our passing game is that much more lethal.

Everyone is writing us off against you guys, but I guess that's why they play the game on the field and not in the papers or on message boards.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
