After three: Falcons 24, Panthers 7

For a moment there, you almost thought the Panthers were going to pull a reverse Seattle.

Down 17-0 at halftime, they looked dead and buried. But they came out with a defense stop, and then marched 81 yards on five runs to score and cut the lead to 10.

It was thready, but it was a pulse.

Of course, their next chance with the ball ended when QB Jimmy Clausen was sacked for a 12-yard loss on fourth-and-4, and the Falcons answered with a quick 49-yard touchdown drive of their own.

RB Jonathan Stewart topped the 100-yard mark for the first time this year, thanks in large part to a 48 and a 42-yarder (his two longest runs of the year).

So they've got that going for them.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
