The Honeymoon is Over

You freakin' jokers are nothing but a bunch of whiners. The Panthers are an extremely young team that is playing in a new system with a rookie QB. It is going to take them time to completely learn the system and, more importantly, learn to win close games in the fourth quarter.

Many of you have compared this team to Tampa in Freeman's rookie year. Well, they had to learn to win close games too, and look at what they did last year. Give it a freakin' break. You don't HAVE to complain about something every week.

i agree 100%

Just a friendly reminder:

We are the fans. Not the team. Nothing we think or say on the forums affects how the team plays on the field. I can't even count how many posts I've seen saying "we shouldn't feel encouraged about close losses because the players don't", or that they "hope the players don't have the same mentality as we do when we start positive threads after losses"

We aren't playing for our jobs here, we can afford to think about the future and they cant. Obviously the players can't feel good about a loss because there's something they personally need to improve in order to win. All we have to do is watch the games.

Speak for yourself. I sent them positive mental vibes during the Jacksonville game, and it worked. Unfortunately, Chicago is out of my range. :)

    • I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress. 
    • Not really.  The run defense has been solid except for the opening game and New England.  We shut Arizona's run game down, but early turnovers hurt.  And of course, we shut out Atlanta.    
    • True, Bryce having a weaker arm wouldn’t be a big deal if it was paired with… Great accuracy, ball placement, etc. But it’s not.  Bryce has consistently done 2 things all 3 seasons.  One of the lowest completion % in the NFL each year,  one of the highest bad throws % in the NFL.    Then you can get into his unwillingness to stress a D and how that has allowed safeties and DBs  cheat coverage making the small ball so many QBs enjoy a tougher task.
