this is not a piss and moan- doom and gloom thread- so leave now if thats your deal.. So what are the Facts that we can take away...

FACT: the team is not playoff bound- maybe they sneak in a wild card slot if we improve a lot and get some help (but thats prolly just the Homer in me talking).. this year is more about growing some potential talent for years to come- E.Brown, Hardy, S.Martin, Goodson, Munnerlyn, Lafell, Clausen, etc.

FACT: John Fox will be gone if we dont make a deep playoff run.. and im Now okay with that.. over the offseason, i got in Fox's corner and thought he wasnt as bad as people were saying.. that he actually is a really good coach- but Sunday we all saw the same old- lack of halftime adjustments- predictable playcalling that we have grown to love/hate..

FACT: John Fox and Marty Hurney are attached at the hip.. so if the first 2 Facts are indeed true- we can see the writing on the wall for our organization

so dont be up in arms about the season.. just change your expectations.. this year is going to be an interesting year- no doubt..

Fact: If the power running game is your bread and butter and you refuse to use it for three plays in scoring position, then no one will respect your offense.

i dont think it is so much of the playcalling. i know we are a running teams, but you cant become predictable. just like the announcer said, it cant all be run, run, pass. also contrary to popular belief we did try to run in the second half, we were just getting stuffed. i know most people know that our running game is awesome , but sometimes you are going to get stuffed and game situations are going to dictate what you do as a offense. we are STILL a very one dimensional team.

FACT: The national media could give a rats ass about the Panthers this year. Every other word even when the Panthers were winning was about the Giants.

QFT.

During the Fox pregame show, they had a whole section about "What you might have missed in the off-season".

I don't think they had one sentence about the Panthers losing Delhomme and Peppers, and dropping almost all our older veterans.

I'm starting to feel like Charlotte is going to become the new Detroit.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
