As I site here at working, waiting until 2 pm to go home (lol), I can't help but think of the 2004 year where, just about all our star players were hurt on the IR. We were looking at a 1-7 record. The season seemed lost. Then suddenly a half time speech lit a fire under this team of ours and players began to step up (i.e. Goings etc). We turned from a team that the NFL gave up on into a team that a lot teams would fear if they made it in the playoffs. Remember? It felt good to watch this team come back to life. We controlled our own destiny then. All we had to do was win ONE game but we fell short. We are 1-5 right now. I have to admit. It looks very ugly looking at that record. All the games that we lost, we could have won. Poor execution by players and poor play calling. Sunday we finally won and yes we beat a team that record is pathetic like ours but there is no game in the NFL a free win or a should be win, any given sunday right?

I can't predict the future but I stand behind this time. If the players still believe they have a chance to make the playoffs, hell, I am with them as well. I seen a lot of post, but history shows no team has ever made the playoffs after going 0-5. You maybe right but isn't that is why they have something called "records". Records are awarding to teams and players who have acomplished something that has never been done. I want to type more but work calls. Ponder on that...

      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).
