According to NFL.com we are the best 0-2 team.

aside from the Vikings. No surprise there but the best part is they have us ranked ahead of the Jaguars who are at 1-1. Again not surprising but very amusing.

"Cam Newton is only the sixth quarterback to throw for over 400 yards in back-to-back games. Don't get too excited, as one of those guys was Billy Volek. What is worth getting excited about is that Newton is ready for the big boys. The dude just doesn't seem impressed by the NFL. While that's a big plus for Panthers fans, the defense could really use Jon Beason. Give Carolina credit -- it hung in with the Super Bowl champs, but Ron Rivera's guys have to be able to stop somebody. They allowed the Pack a staggering 8.1 yards per play after allowing 7.3 to the Cardinals."

Pretty obvious we're close to being a very good team. Just need to be more disciplined and clean up the RZ and run D. This team is playing far better than I expected at this point.

I would add tightening up against the "Big" TD play

We have given up the following in the first two games of the season:

80+ yard punt return for TD

80+ yard Pass TD from Kolb to Doucet

30+ yard Pass TD from Kolb to King (granted Beason blew his achilles)

40+ yard Pass TD from Rodgers to Jennings

80+ yard Pass TD from Rodgers to Nelson

Some huge scoring plays given up by our Defense and ST

Could have condensed a lot of that by just saying, kill Pugh. However, that's where the discipline comes in.

It's just pretty garbage to think that were the best team of a the worst category. Just stating that it's not something a franchise should be praised, happy, or excited about. I am excited for each and every week because were a very competitive team, but not excited about starting the season with losses.

We definitly have the talent of a good football team, we just need more depth which will come. Hell, the team we have now even with injuries and Pugh stinking the place up could easily be 0-2, and I never would've thought that during the offseason. These loses are a lot easier to watch than last years that's for sure.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
