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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
