How competitive now?


Recommended Posts

All depends on QB position

yep.....if Cam or Jimmy start there is just no telling what we will get at that position.

That is why I really want Bulger, Volek, or Anderson for this season.

With the additions on offense and the maturation of our WR's, I would feel a ton better having a vet and letting Cam learn.

With a vet, I think we compete this year.

Need to see what Cam can do before anybody can honestly answer this question.

We also need to keep in mind that on paper we have the toughest schedule in the NFL this season.

If we can go 7-9 I will be pleased, if we can go 9-7 I will be extremely pleased.

At worst we will do slightly better than last year. Cam will be more effective if he starts this year vs. Clausen last year, but I really don't think Clausen had a fair chance last year. Lame duck coaching staff, team with injuries, anemic offense(well I guess Clausen was a big part of that)

Is it me or do the Panthers have a tough schedule? We just get the number one draft pick but it seems our schedule is killer....

Well of course we are in the toughest division so that's 6 games.

The NFC South plays the NFC North which is a tough division.

We also get the AFC South, which isn't as bad as getting the East.

The the Cardinals and the Redskins are the two games based on standings which aren't tough games at all.

So when you look at it, it's a decent schedule, but could've been worst.

    • Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... 24 taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why they were both clock eating small ball 14 play drives. 
    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
