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.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
