honestly many of those years our running game was far better than it is this year. Yes, our overall production is up, but not all yards are equal. That was also a different time of course. I do think our offense doesn't need major changes with regards to personnel (another WR, but maybe Gettis is that guy) but I feel like we are deliberately leaning on Cam too much.

That's what I'm saying. That was when I really lost it with Chud today. Don't put Cam in that position. We have struggled in the redzone, don't force it... don't keep pulling out your shiny new toy just because you have it. Play that smart and we walk away with points.

WE KNOW CAM IS GOOD. EVERYONE DOES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE IT ANYMORE.

It's okay to run.

It seems we left the conservative run extreme of Foxy and went to the pass happy extreme of Chud... In case people haven't realized yet, extremes aren't good.

Until we can play defense it doesn't matter what Cam does.

Not trying to be a dick here, but now do you understand why so many people wanted to bolster the Dline at the top of the draft?

Cam has played well, but it doesn't matter.

No matter how much the league changes, it always stays the same.

Not true... Defenses no longer win championships, QB's do.

Its a passing (scoring) league.... You have to have a QB who can do it all, and we do.

Cam is learning, but is already capable of taking over games on his own. Once he understands this offense better, understand defenses better, and knows how to handle the ball without giving it up, we will be lights out.

No MATTER how bad our defense is.

Ask New England..

Rivera needs to do something with this defense. I don't know if he needs to look at personel and change things up in the front four (namely DTs) or or just take over the playcalling duties from Sean McDermott but that unit is killing us week in and week out. Its not just missed tackles either...If these teams wanted to run a sweep to the right on us every play they could and would pick up 10 yards every time. We are just atrocious at penetration (other than Hardy and Johnson) and pursuit. It is just disgusting to watch.

The thing that makes it even worse is that we have a ROOKIE QB and a whole squad of new faces on offense that are doing their best to keep us in games. Its typically a given that a rookie QB is going to throw some INTS and make some mistakes. The rest of the team is supposed to pick him up and make up for those mistakes. For us its the other way around.

or we just continue to ignore the same positions like DT and WR.

.

It is not that the Panthers ignore these two positions, it's just that suck at evaluating them it seems.

DT = Jenkins, drafted by Siefert

WR = Steve Smith, drafted by Siefert

That is how long it has been since there has been impact players at those two positions.

10 years is a very long time.

Team took a step back today. Let's see how they do at home the next 3 weeks; I suspect we already know the answer but, hey, 'any given sunday' right?

Difference is, you don't find franchise QBs in the free agent market. You can only get them in the draft.

Changed your name but keep beating the troll drum... DT could've been addressed in FA.

Well, now we're forced to look for TD's replacement, because even if we keep him, we don't know how he'll hold up. On top of that... After this year, I don't want to see Connor on the field again unless it's ST.

We all had him extremely overrated until he saw extended action.

LB and DT are the huge needs in the offseason whether all of those guys come back healthy or not.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
