Well Neblett did play some last year, but that's unimportant. No need to apologize, I will be pissed to see it too. Hell I was pissed in preseason. But the fact is that we want these young guys to play, and we want them to learn. We kept the 3 guys that showed the most on the field (Yes even Neblett looked good at times). Part of coaching is putting guys in positions to do well and being able to hide or help your weaknesses. Lets just see how we plan to do it and if it helps before we start a lynch mob, ya know?

I want them to learn to but while they learn I don't want to see our high salary LB getting mashed by 300lb lineman.

shouldn't there be a reasonable standard?

dissent is more than ok, but isn't it absurd when people fling constantly from one fringe of the spectrum to the other, almost whimsically at times, knighting a player/staff member at one moment and damning him to the nth level of hell at the next?

it's not vapid pragmatism to call out the fundamental stupidity of knee-jerk reactions.

It's called being a fan. When you don't care anymore that is the problem.

But the complaints about the DT position hasn't been knee-jerk. It's been a common worry all offseason alongside the O-line and CBs.

I know people act like they didn't see Reggie Bush become Eddide George right before our eyes. Or Benson and Benard fuging Scott look like LT and AP. Coaching staff even admits it was a problem.

right, but people haven't been griping to this extent.

world-class fatty who nobody had heard of prior to sunday gets cut and all of a sudden our glossy superbowl chances have been sunk and hurney, who the day before was freshly brilliant for his adroit maneuvering to land us Max Jean-Gilles and Hangman, is whipped and crucified within five minutes.

That's because the FO was talking like they knew the problem and would do stuff to fix it. We kept hearing how they would get player after the Cuts. Then they do nothing but fix the oline. While the Def. who was giving 4.0- 5.0 yards a clip per carry gets worse.

You can't tell me the Will Allen isn't a better option at CB.

You can't tell me their isn't 1 or 2 Vet FA DT who are better option then 2 rookies and a 2nd year UDFA.

Why the hell do we have so much fuging bad luck? Especially at Cornerback and defensive tackle spot.

Nice statement, with that said this is The Huddle that's how it goes.

do you trust that ron rivera knows what he's doing personnel-wise?

Well, people are griping NOW for good reason. We'd better do something at DL, do you honestly think otherwise?

Perhaps we sign this Kearse guy and after week 1 or 2 we cut him and put him on the practice squad and sign a veteran DT or two because we don't have to guarantee their salary after week 1. That would be a good way to acquire guys to help now and in the future I think. We just don't know what is in store yet.

Not directed at me, but I assume that every coach are supposed to know what he is doing personnel-wise, but that's not the case more often than not. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for the Rivera Era, but he is a rookie coach and my tentative trust in him won't be solidified until the results come along.

To be fair, it's not like Hurney has been Ozzie Newsome or Bill Belichick on the regular. He had his smart moments but he's had just as many questionable moments. I'd imagine that fanbase has copied that.

      I literally read this 15 minutes ago, but it sums up my feelings perfectly. FYI, the article was about 3 players on the bubble. The author's opinion seems to be Horn is a lock and Renfrow and Moore are fighting for that last spot. David Moore, WR The Panthers' wide receiver room is crowded. There aren't many available spots, at least from the outside looking in. That raises the stakes considerably for those further down the pecking order fighting for recognition. David Moore is among them. The former seventh-round selection is a trusted ally of Dave Canales from three separate NFL stops. He's a solid if not spectacular player, although he underwhelmed when tasked with significant responsibilities during the previous campaign. Moore is battling it out for the sixth wideout spot alongside Hunter Renfrow, Kobe Hudson, and Jacolby George. It could go either way, but Canales' faith and his ability to impact special teams might be enough to get a reprieve."

      Until LaMelo is traded, this is an unserious organization anyway. There's an insane lack of talent, and the talent all comes with baggage and injury concerns.  I assume the OP was about passing on Ace...but he's exactly the type of prospect doomed to bust here and compound on to the problems with all of his rumored sketchiness.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Profit sharing among owners. More ‘desirable’ matchups garner more viewership, leads to more revenue generated and more profit for everyone invested. Y’all don’t think there will ever be a Titans vs Panthers SB, do you? lol, yeah right. Tampa vs Jacksonville? Now that’s funny.  Now, do I think there is ‘the man’ who overlords over all of this? Nah, but bias, even among refs, owners and media can, will, does, and always exist when there is $$ involved.  Refs are people too. Probably football fans, and as such, probably have a favorite team and a favorite player ( why would a non-fan ever become a ref). There is no way officiating will be completely impartial when this is the case. Might be an interesting idea (not in a stalker ish way) to see where each ref grew up/lives, then you could see their likely allegiance. What if 2 refs officiated the same game and they both grew up in say SF, Dallas, Philly or New York? Impartial officiating. Nah.     Would you be? Panthers need a FG to advance in the playoffs, it’s third and long with 45 sec left in the game… obvious hold on your Your team’s center? You calling that? Don’t lie, you know you wouldn’t.
