Interesting Little Blurb

Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers

How bad has the Panthers' offense been? Through two games, Carolina has amassed an Offensive Passing DVOA of -78.7%, which means that Carolina's quarterbacks and receivers have produced at an opponent-adjusted rate of almost 80 percent below league average. Before he was benched in favor of rookie Jimmy Clausen, quarterback Matt Moore had the league's worst DVOA among quarterbacks with at least 15 passing attempts through the first two games of the season. He managed two fumbles, four interceptions, and a 40.8% catch rate in 58 passes. Clausen probably won't be much better in an offense that has managed to be opponent-indifferent -- it almost doesn't matter who they're facing at this point.

It should surprise no one that Moore and the Panthers' offense is dead last, but 80% worse than league average?

Ugh.

If they weren't starting Jimmy this Sunday, I doubt more than 10,000 people would show up (and I'm pretty sure they knew that).

if i could i would go to ever game. But since i live near the beach, and money is alittle tight i cant. I would support my team regardless of how bad they are.

you know, when a team has a dip here and there I get that...

and this doesn't really pertain to the Panthers, yet...

but examples like Lions and Raiders (before this year, since they appear to be trying).. I don't know if that is such a good thing...

Fans do hold a little power.. if they show up even when the team is consistently losing year in and year out, there is nothing to say an owner won't just sit back and not be aggressive in doing whatever it takes to put a winning team on the field..

there is a romanticism about "being a real fan" and "showing up rain, shine, or sorry as fug".. I'm really questioning that logic...

There is...I believe in doing so for say my college team. But when it comes to professional sports I fully believe in sending a message to ownership as a fan. Carolina won't get a dime from this fan until they show they are serious about winning. Telling your coach to find a job and he can get out of his contract......or stay one last year and go through the motions of a season specically geared as prep for a lockout that may or may not come (one our particular owner will likely be in favor of) means we shouldn't pump money into Carolina.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
