In the begining of the season if you would rather go 12-4 and lose in the divisional round of the playoff's

OR-

Have a qb who threw over 5,000 yards but not make the Playoff's, what would you say.

There are a LOT of teams with great QB's who didnt make it this far.

Payton Manning is sitting at home, and after today only 4 teams will still be playin football.

Its just the way poo goes in the NFL.

Better luck next season.

This one has been fun to watch.

Hi AK, with all respect, that really isn't the point.

Of course, 12-4, making the playoffs, all good.

Throwing for 5000 yards, sure, that's nice.

....but, again, in football, two things are key, the QB and the defense.

I have been a huge supporter of Delhomme's, I've tried to be; but, in all honesty, top flight QBs do not throw 5 interceptions, have a fumble, consistently force the ball when its not there.

If people are 'satisfied' with just getting there, that's fine.

I'm not.

The Panthers have had numerous opportunities to draft a QB with a decent arm and they have not done so and they will pay now and for several years in the future.

I'd be happy with the QB the Ravens have...one who was available for the Panthers too by the way, as was Brady Quinn.

Manage the game, don't lose the game.

That's just me.

Again, I have loved Jake Delhomme; but, its time now, to get a blue chip.

Kurt Warner, and Delhomme, are the exceptions not the rule.

thats not the point-

the point is there are 28 teams sitting at home this week comming up--

quit crying like babys.

It will get better-- GOD knows it could have been worse, so have some respect for a decent season.

You summed up what I have been saying for a long time. It is a waste of time saying it because john Fox says rookie QBs are a waste. Just look how wasted Atlanta and Baltimore have been this season. Perhaps Fox would think higher of a rookie QB if he had one picked higher than the last round or that went undrafted.

Yeah, who wants the hassle of a Super Bowl trophy? Just have to buy a cabinet for it.

If I told you 2 weeks ago that we'd make the playoffs with a dominant pair of running backs, but we'd piss it away in the playoffs by having an inept QB throw 5 INTs and fumble the ball on the other teams 13 yd line, against a team known for passing the ball, so we were gonna play a weak ass zone that allowed the 1 weapon they have to catch the ball anywhere he felt like, would you keep sucking down that Kool-Aid?

This season was a failure. People that are into moral victories after last night are losers.

We're not the Bengals or Lions, we're the Panthers and we were the favorites to win the Super Bowl coming into the playoffs (if you didn't count the Giants at least).

Having the team we had and ending it the way it did made this season a complete failure. Sorry. You can say that Drew Brees didn't win a playoff game so we should be thankful, but we won the same amount of playoff games this year that the Lions did. Zero.

Oh so we aren't allowed to be pissed that we got stomped at home due to six turnovers by one player?

Not the point... the team still had a great season.

We went 12 and 4 and got a home playoff game... it was exciting and fun to watch... a lot of teams and their fans didnt have that opportunity...

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
