The funny part is that they didn't even mention Carolina at all! Entirely new coaching staff, and oh yeah they drafted Cam Newton #1 overall.

Instead they talked about The Golden Calf of Bristol needing to get his mechanics down! I can't believe these morons are so disconnected with reality!

Your thoughts on this...

The team is hit hard by the lockout, sure, but our coaches? Not at all. Rivera actually now has an excuse should the team struggle early on... The coaches mentioned there all have far "hotter" seats than Rivera. The Panthers won't give up on Newton after one year, anyway... I just don't see how we'd even belong on that list.

ESPN ran a similar article a few weeks ago talking about the top 5 teams with the best and worst situations in the lockout.

They were talking pretty much about the same people, Vikings (New QB and staff), etc etc and didn't even mention the Panthers who, arguably, are in just as bad or worse situation as the Vikings.

Teams that are expected to win now like the Vikings have the most pressure. Teams like the Panthers that are rebuilding have very little pressure. Two years from now will be a different story.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
