[Laetitia]

(By Scott Fowler, [email protected]) p/ After listening to the Carolina Panthers talk about their offense in the aftermath of Saturday nighamp;squo;s exhibition, I heard a lot of words that sounded semi-truthful and one word that was exactly right./p

Scott Fowler: "Why yes, I do get paid to write those articles, why do you ask?"

Honestly the offense flat sucks right now. If they aren't going to do any better than this, then let Clausen start so he can develop

Smith's presence and game-planning. Those two things will make a huge difference Week 1.

I actually think they article was pretty good. Somebody with a public voice needs to cut through a lot of the talk coming from the team. I understand the excuses completely but they need to be a little harder on themselves.

John must think that he's still talking about Jake whatisname, oh that's right..."Fox!" Then on the matter of JG...was their ever a guy who created soooo many penalties, and got nothing but a slap on the wrist who would not say whatever seems corporate to the Observer?

Sadly, we do suck at points...so what else is their to discuss but "wait until the cows come home!"?

good point. I'm sure they don't talk that way in meetings. It just feels good for somebody to address the elephant in the room publicly.

The more criticism, the better they'll work to prove us all wrong.

hopefully

It's pre-season Fowler, therefore, you're pre-season Fowler!

The main thing the offense needs to work on is eliminating penalties. They were in the Red Zone several times last night, but penalties killed them. Eliminate the careless penalties = Touchdowns. That's correctable, so I remain optimistic.

This is what happens when your a young team and suffer major blows to you offense. The fact is we need Otah,Smith,Dwill and Jstew healthy to win this year. Moore is not going to pull a Brady or a Manning and light up the score boards. If our Oline stalls this year we are done... Point blank like any team would be in our situation.
