Panthers find it hard to break losing cycle

The Arizona Cardinals coach said about his team, the biggest problem when he took over was overcoming the mind set of his players. He said that it was November and they were on their cell phones making plans for vacation in late January early February! There wasn't one player who was thinking abouit the Post Season. He said, that told him right there, that he would have to change their mind set and get them thinking about Post Season.

Dilfer believes Moore and Clausen can be successful in time, saying NFL quarterbacks need between 35 and 40 starts before they can be judged fairly.

Jesus that's a lot. Much better than the two this board gave Moore or the three it's given Clausen, but 35-40? I think you can tell before then. I'd say more like 19. Play a season, then start out the next on a short leash.

Funny they mention Clausen talking repeatedly about throwing the ball downfield. With his 4.9 yards an attempt and a total of only 4 of his 91 attempts going for more than 20 yardsm I wonder when he is going to take his own advice.

The reason he gets blitzed and people whine he gets no time to throw is because the defense doesn't respect his ability to throw downfield. They work hand in hand. If he actually did what he said he needs to do, it would take the pressure off him and give him more time to throw not less.

...because as we all know, Moore is a legend at throwing the deep ball.

In fairness, Moore is better at throwing the deep ball than Clausen.

Doesn't mean he's a better overall QB, but in that particular skill, Moore has the edge.

As far as the article, the part about how the games keep playing out the same way is telling (referenced in the "not smart enough" thread).

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
