What makes the Panthers sucking worse?

The fact that we live in Charlotte. Losing and looking bad in doing so sucks bad enough. In Charlotte you have to listen to transplants and bandwagon fans give their opinions on why our hometown team sucks. In Buffalo, when your team sucks you can commiserate with other losers of like mind because NOBODY moves to Buffalo, they all move away. Down here you have to hear not only transplants from crapholes like Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but also the local idiots that root for the Skins, Steelers, and Cowboys. They think a qualifier like "I'm an Eagles fan" before they opine about what we need to do to be a winning team makes them legit. If I have to hear "I'm a _______ fan, but I think the Panthers need to ________" one more time, I think I might just punch somebody in the face. I don't care if it's at a fancy place like the Wal-Mart, it's going down.

Back to work.

I've quit having civil conversations, much like this forum, there are very few people out of a 1,000 worth having a real football conversation with. until people quit talking bullpoo and tryin to pretend it's a valid opinion, come correct or stfu with your stupid opinion.. ;)

I usually just refrain from talking Football with anyone that I don't know, it's like politics, most people are just f'n clueless.

Even then, I tend to avoid talking about the Panthers with people that aren't fans all together because they typically have more knowledge about nuclear physics than they have the Panthers.

Plus I don't want to hear them brag about how great everything Pittsburgh is, even though they've never even entered the state of Pennsylvania.

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.
