Mike Tanier: the only writer man enough to watch our game

The Panthers still have a solid offensive line, and they can still run the ball. Stewart is tough, and Tony Fiammetta is an excellent blocking fullback. The Panthers would probably have gone 6-10 with Jake Delhomme at quarterback, but that isn't the sort of thing you want to encourage them to do. A Panthers' drive stalls after a draw play on third-and-12. A field goal gives the Panthers a 6-0 lead.

Its funny. We have the leading rusher in the NFL over the last 4 games. But its the O line that sucks, not Clausen.

They can't pass block for poo. They can run block quite well though (though Stewart and Goodson still make a bunch of plays on their own).

Either you can or you can't make the throws in the NFL. It wouldn't matter who or what the O-line was, Clausen simply cannot make the throws required of an NFL QB.

    • Do you honestly believe this is a team that will even be in contention for a playoff spot this year? To me, if you're not at minimum a genuine playoff caliber team, every win you get is a meaningless win in the end.  This is the NFL, it's not peewee league where you just want to win a few games and have fun, you want to get into the playoffs and have a shot at making a SB run. We haven't had a winning season in how many years?   Does "enjoying" a small handful of wins every year really make for an enjoyable season for you? I said it months ago and I'll say it forever, I don't care about winning or losing this year, as we don't have a playoff caliber roster yet and I'm a realist about where we are as a franchise.  I'd enjoy watching the games so much more if the team and Bryce in particular were just showing marked improvement, even if it came in losses.   Because THAT would give me hope for the future of the franchise and the direction we're going. Bryce was complete garbage in Week 1, in Week 2 he was terrible until the Cardinals went into super soft prevent defense and then collapsed gain when the game was in reach, and he was a serviceable game manager today, but didn't make any throws that any college QB couldn't make. This game was a perfect chance to let Bryce go out there and play loose because of the lead, just let him be himself and see if it sparks his college self.  But instead, we went unbelievably conservative with the play calling to help ensure the win, when actual wins and losses are the least of our worries this year, it's figuring out what Bryce can be (fans may be decided, but the team obviously has not yet).
    • Pretty fair assessment overall. I can’t say a lot since I didn’t watch but going by the comments I am betting he (Canales) was very conservative and a large reason would be to prevent Bryce giving it away half the day.
