Are the Panthers suicidal?

I mean that as - D-Williams only getting 10 carries last week. TEN.

6.4YPC, and he got 10 carries. They throw in Mike Goodson, who played pretty well, but still. Williams carried the Panthers to the playoffs two years ago, what happened? Stewart is a straight beast and he only gets 8 carries (1.6 YPC though). Did we just decide we want to break in the rookie QB all of a sudden and let him throw 30+ times to rookie WR's?

Something is wrong with this team, not the players. I think there are some kinda handcuffs on Fox to do certain things (like start Clausen, keep Williams and Stewart on the bench so we lose, not throw Steve Smith the ball much).

I think it's obvious we aren't doing everything we can to win games. I'd like to see the offensive game plan against the Saints, who have the worst D of all the teams the Panthers have played so far. Williams gets 10 carries again with a 6.4YPC, Panthers don't want to win. Plain and simple.

Before you point at average as a justification for more carries, you might want to consider the circumstances. Roughly half of that came on his last 3 carries. We were 2 scores down. 6 of those first 7 carries were for less than 2 yards. We were not sustaining drives with the run. Stewart was not doing any more.

My pre-game checklist:

Get chicken wings

Put beers on ice

Plug in defibrilator

Lock medicine cabinet

Have wife hide all cutlery

Secure second-story windows

Remove any rope/chain from the garage

Pray to wake up Monday

Get ready for kickoff

Go Panthers!

how about this...panthers aren't running because it isn't working. it isn't by design. with a new QB you want to run more than you usually do. panthers aren't running because defenses figured out how to shut it down. run blitz. don't just stack the box, invade it. run everyone in and don't worry about getting beat by the pass because the WRs can't get open.

you people make it seem like the panthers want to do something other than run. they aren't running because it isn't working.

what makes it worse is they are playing from behind. when you play from behind you are playing catchup and you don't do that do that on the ground.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
