Passing just isn't the Panther's #1 Priority

As if this was anything new...

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 26, 2010 10:23 AM ET

Asked if the team would throw more often this season, Davidson (Panther's OC) flatly said "no" to Steve Reed of Carolinagrowl.com. "The major push for is us when a defense is making us throw it, we have to be efficient when they are doing that to us," Davidson said.

Davidson says he's not worried about the passing game's struggles in the preseason, and that the starting job opposite Steve Smith remains open to competition. (Dwayne Jarrett and rookie Brandon LaFell remain the leading contenders.)

Only two teams ran the ball at a higher percentage than the Panthers last year. According to the Football Outsiders Almanac, only one team passed the ball less when ahead on the second half.

Not a bad thing, this is why our we will be much better on offense when the season starts, because the only thing that stopped our ground game last season was Jake intercept o!

This isn't Florio's horrid opinion. i could have posted the article from carolina growl, but its basically the same thing. no apologizes from me this time

      Mike White or Hendon Hooker coming back?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The fans have given up, but I do not think the players have. Just winning 3 of 4 leading into this game, and then players accepting responsibility and not excusing away the terrible game has shown the locker room hasn't been lost.  This is the latest into the season our locker room hasn't been lost since the Wilks season, and then it was lost early due to Rhule and then re-gained late in the season. It's actually the one thing I like about Canales, that he seems to have forced a complete 180 in our locker room culture in his almost 2 years in charge here now.  That's still not good enough for me to want us to bring him back next year, as I think he's pretty bad in most other aspects of the job, but it was still something badly needed for this franchise.

      Sign Taylor Heinicke, and start the shlow transfer of Bryce to the coaching staff. If he really in truly has a computer brain (just can't do it on the field), maybe he could call a decent game one day.

      Nic Scourton On Panthers' Culture

      It's not something you want to happen, but again, it happens on every team in every sport and every season. Sometimes it doesn't cost your team the game and just makes a great team have a close game against a bad team, but it happens.   How do you think the Bills lost to the Dolphins this week? Same thing, they figured it was an easy win, probably didn't give their 110% attention/effort in the week leading into the game, expecting it to be a cake walk blowout win. And again, I'm not saying this is a good thing or that I'm happy it happened, but to pretend this is some groundbreaking revelation that is unheard of, is just asinine, it's the exact opposite of that, it's expected and mundane.
