Tom Talks: Panthers sick of losing -- to themselves


Laetitia

Recommended Posts

Defensive end Everette Brown said after the game that Carolina has one team it can't continue to lose to -- itself. Now that I read the quote, it doesn't seem particularly deep or meaningful. But it did when he said it. So I'm using it. Thanks, Everette

The Panthers are so young that there is a temptation to call them the Young Panthers. But age doesn't matter. You win or you don't. That's what matters. They will be good. But not yet.

Tom, I believe we need to sit down and have a discussion on the concept of "experience" here.

There is plenty of blame to go around. The bottom line is we look like Detroit or St Louis right now. That is what happens when you replace nine starters and have so few veterans on the team. Anyone who didn't know this is what would happen was simply being naive.

Now that the path has been chosen, there is nothing else to do but hang in there and see what happens. I would hate to see what will happen if we actually had a tough schedule.

Hey Tom, Panther fans are sick of paying an increase in ticket prices as the quality of the product they paid to see decreases.

Write an article about that. The more this team loses, the less the fans are going to give a poo about what the players think.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
