morons.

[w1bke4s]

poll that states the obvious...maybe the front office will finally get a clue

[rayzor]

the obvious thing is that we need to address the DL. not surprised that a lot of uneducated fans would blame everything on the QB and think that it is the #1 thing that the panthers need to be doing. 43% of the fan base hates him and most of that has to do with how he played in that last game.

if he didn't have that high a number of turnovers during that game (which wasn't typical at all) the number of people calling for his head would drop in half. QB isn't the strongest point of our game by far but it isn't at all the weakest point.

yup-

If fans ruled the team we would get a new coach/QB every season.

i agree prob over half the people that voted there was just a casual fan, and also the same people that will tell you jakes the best QB in the nfl after we win a big game

Wonder how people would feel if Jordan Gross had 4-5 games a year when he would give up 4 sacks...or DeAngelo fumbling 4 times....or Peppers getting dominated by back up Tackles...oh wait

Quick, dump Peppers and Delhomme. Anything to keep Panthro happy, doesn't matter whether it helps or hurts we gotta keep the boy happy...

Defense is the biggest concern.

TOP Arizona at Carolina

Cards 39:49

Panthers 20:11

Defense is going to have to get used to being on the field for 2/3 of the game. There's probably going to be more of them Delhomme poo the bed games, we're going to need the most refined, disciplined, and conditioned defense to make up for it and prevent the other team from scoring after someone picks off Jake and returns it within their red zone.

I think our one of our biggest concerns was addressed, in the hiring of a new Defensive Coordinator. I think our whole attitude and the philosophy that fed that were suspect last year. Much as I take umbrage at Jake's lack of progress as far as his mechanics thri the years, which has an impact on us, I think the offense showed a lot, especially in the second half of the season, when the D was routinely giving up lots of points and yards.

I don't want to see us get a new QB, I want the ones we have on roster now to compete for the starting job. Reinforce the O line where possible, but use the draft and FA to address the D's needs. I think we could be alright this year. I'm just concerned with our history of never ever having successive playoff contending season.
