Coming out Swinging

This saturday, as well as the rest of the playoffs, i believe jake and co. are going to come out swinging. hard. if it's that obvious to us that the panthers conservative 2nd half play (as of late) has been the cause of momentum changes and long defensive field time...then i expect the coaching staff will see this too and make adjustments. does this mean that (stubborn) john fox will gameplan accordingly? not neccessarily.

the reason why we have seen this type of game management is because it hasnt really been until the mnf game vs. tampa that there was no question to whether or not we really had a solid running game. because of this, it seems to me like fox has developed the mentality that solely our running game can win us games. in games against tampa, denver, new york, and new orleans, we ran away with the lead right off the bat. this was due to very agressive offense, featuring an extremely balanced running game, and a very lethal passing game. only against tampa and denver were we able to really maintain a substantial lead in the second half.

you cant let up on offense against teams like the giants and saints. i predict steve smith to have an impressive postseason. we need to keep an equal balance in the passing and running games. besides, they thrive off eachother. we've seen smith gain 100+ yards on only 6 or so catches in a game. imagine what he can do with 12. we need to never let up no matter how big the lead.

anways, i guess the point to this is...i hope fox realizes that this team needs to come out with a killer mentality, especially on offense, for all 4 quarters. if we go into games with this attitude, we can beat anyone in the league.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
