Oblivious to the real problem

For all of you out there saying that there isn't a problem in Carolina you are oblivious to the situation. We had a great year with a huge blow up at the end of it yes but its more than that. Most people in the Carolina's have never experienced a great quaterback for there team. Jake Delhomme is an average quaterback at best whenever his stats are good they are good because he throws a 5 yard pass to Smith who then turns it into a 50 yard play. It is not because of all the great throws that he goes out there and makes. And then there is all this talk about how we can't find a good reciever to complement Smith on the other side. Of course we can't its because Jake Delhomme does not look at his other recievers. He has a severe case of tunnel vision, even when he does throw it to the others the play is usually designed for it to go to them. Panthers fans, coaches, and some of the players are all stuck on Jake Delhomme because they have not experienced a really good QB. As long as Jake Delhomme is in Carolina we will never have a dominate offense that can keep our defense off the feild consistantly. And here is the thing that really bothers me we had a very bad and an inexperienced QBs when Jake went down with that injury of course the team is better with Jake at QB if thats the only option. He came back from that injury and people were all over his nuts more than ever because he can atleast make us a decent team and make some throws but imagine if we had a really good QB that could make all the throws. We are settling too much, Jake is just medioker and the panthers organization needs to realize that.

Ok that was the first this is the second. PLAY CALLING and COACHING!!!! Are you kidding me people, if one of the biggest chokes in playoff history isn't enough to send a coach packing then what is? John Fox is a great defensive coordinator but as a head coach he blows hard. Just like Jake we in Carolina have settled for Fox. Just take a second and picture our team with an offensive minded coach.....No more prevent defense when we get up by 7 pts....no more 3rd down and 8s and we throw a 4 yard pass that gets stoped. I just don't feel like John Fox is the awnser...even though we had a good regular season our D was just ok...besides John Beason it just looked like the D was playing at about 90%...Ken Lucas lets not even go there...can anyone tell me how many times he got posterized by recievers this year? The whole team just needs something new a boost of energy or something. We have wasted most of the players on our teams prime and accomplished nothing but 1 NFC champion chip in the John Fox era. We have had 3 decent seasons but we are an underacheiving football team...we have had too much talent and skill on our teams for the past 5 years to not have a superbowl ring or consistantly make the playoffs and be a threat. I am sick of playing to the competition level of our opponents and barely sqeeking by bad teams. I am ready for a change here in Carolina and I hope it happens next year!

This was a damn good team. The loss to Arizona was just plain sad. Not even a close game. Jake is cleary the one to blame. Jake is an up and down streaky QB. I never want to see another horrible game from Jake, so I think it's time for him to move on. Jake is the real problem, and he knows it. Just look at the agony he's in during the Arizona game. I never want to see that again. I would have told the team to run the ball on every down, or benched Jake. Anything. His screams of agony will haunt me for a long time. Horrible life draining interceptions with the world watching. What a nightmare. Not reading the defense. Not seeing defenders. Hold the ball way too long. Missing wide open WRs and RBs. Throwing into double coverage. Throwing off his back foot with terrible results. Locking his eyes on one WR the entire play. Not progressing through his check downs. Hold the ball with one hand for way too long. Not running when the path is clear with nobody open. Poor pocket awareness. Dead duck passes. Rushing throws without looking to see if the player is going to be open. Hoping for luck to complete a pass. Freaking out. I think he was crying at one point during the came. Not looking off the Safety at all. Inaccurate passes. Guilty of being a gunslinger shooting blanks. We had a great running game, good defense, the best WR in the game, Moose, a damn fine o-line. Jake is the real problem. When does Vick get out of jail?

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
