This slide seems to be more than just their regular slow start that most of the analysts have diagnosed. There is no question that they have lots of talent, ability to score, and good defense (see the cowboys), but I think their HC is much more suited as a coordinator than a HC (see cowboys again). Aisde from that, its not all on the coach, they just can't seem to catch a break. this missed FG is a bummer.

It's certainly not Norv Turner.

They have a top 5 O and a top 5 D on the field. He has Rivera coaching a 3-4 D as well as anyone out there, and he was a 4-3 guy.

Injuries and Inexperience is killing that team. They could easily be 6-1 (Rams beat them) were if not for very young players on O making bad mistakes, and having to field very young players on ST because of injuries.

The first 5 games of the season they were without 2 O linemen, and are on their 5th long snapper, all the while IR'ing 5 LB's.

Norv summed it up best for that team: He said they just have wayyy too many guys touching the ball far too many times that aren't used to doing so.

They will rally, but I wouldn't count on KC imploding like Denver did, they have better coaching, and a much smarter QB.

Don't know if you saw the game yesterday. Horrible mental errors by their players. Catching a pass and setting it down on the field for the other team to pick up before the receiver is tackled (this ain't college).

Not covering a backwards pass (ie lateral) to a back for another turnover and points. The mental errors and missed assignments all year long on special teams costing them games. San Diego like Dallas has huge talent. But the teams lack discipline, especially mentally. Yeah, this poo stops at Norv's desk.

I have watched every game that SD and the Panthers have played for about the last 6 seasons, and I am telling you that it aint Norv Turner.

That pass you are referencing was that players first pass in the NFL, please tell me that Norv had something to do with him getting excited. Also please tell me that Norv has something to do with VJ, Naanee, Floyd, and Gates being either hobbled and or out of the game.

Sorry dude, this is on the players, not the coach.

Your opinion, which happens to be wrong. ;)

And yours is unfounded.

Listen, I promise you that I have watched this team much more than anyone on this board except for maybe Bolt, maybe.

They have let go of a lot of good players trying to continue to win in the future, and have a ton of players that were not even active last season playing in starters roles.

Please reference Norv's record with the Chargers with the other 31 HC's out there since he took over and get back to me. Without looking I would say his overall record is probably better than all but 2 or 3 HC's out there in that time period.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
