Marvez on the 10 worst teams in the league


Recommended Posts

Ignore the "1-15" thing. He's got a little of the tism.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

Record: 4-8

What went wrong: Coming off a 1-15 season, the better question is what has gone right? Start with rookie Cam Newton. He already has set the NFL single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (13) and proven to be a more polished passer than expected. Ron Rivera also is off to a good start in his first season as an NFL head coach.

What’s left to play for: The Panthers have a chance to damage the playoff standing of three contenders (Atlanta, Houston and New Orleans) while furthering Newton’s development.

What’s next: Don’t expect another wild offseason spending spree, but the Panthers desperately need to upgrade some of their defensive talent, particularly at defensive tackle.

"another wild offseason spending spree"?

When was this?

Also, next offseason is the best time to go on one of these wild spending sprees, especially on defense. The D needs a serious overhaul and if it doesn't happen, Hurney needs to be kicked out of town.

That's your last straw for Hurney?

I don't get the obsession with Hurney, there's not a GM out there without his share of big whiffs, or ones that luck into great picks. Or are we going to consider Mike Brown a genius because he managed to hit on Green and Dalton, and swindle Oakland?

Hurney's much better than your average NFL GM, and now that Rivera has a hand in picking talent we may find more draft gems over the years.

As far as big trades or free agent deals, we need to be closer to knowing exactly which pieces we need to put us over the top before investing tons of money into veteran help.

It must be me but I don't know that we need to go wildly spending on the defense. We need to find a great LB to replace Davis when/if he goes down, we need to find a second corner who can be as solid as Gamble, and we need a 3 technique DT. When our IRed players get healthy next year we will have taken care of the linebacker position and the nose tackle with the exception of the Sam. And ironically our depth issue won't be as big a concern given that many of the current starters will go back to rotational positions next year when our starters return. Between a few free agents and the draft, we should find who we need to fill in the holes.

I think our last 'wild offseason' was when we signed Lucas and Wahle.

    • I don't think we need to argue over the existence of the drops. Look at the film. Instead of arguing about was this a drop or was that a drop we should be looking at the throws from Bryce and recognizing the fact that there are so many 50/50 balls and passes that receivers have to make physical adjustments to even attempt to haul in. You cannot just put everything on the receiver at all times. For the WR to have success the QB has to be able to more often than not put them in a position to succeed. And we also have to be able to acknowledge when the QB is putting the receiver in jeopardy and that did happen Sunday particularly with Renfrow. I mean even a guy like TMac with his catch radius has faced a challenge hauling in passes from Young. And we're pretty hyped about him. Legette and Sanders I will say have underwhelmed. That's something the head coach needs to sort out. But we still have a really good RB room and we have the highest paid OL for 2025 by a significant margin. Nobody here even necessarily expected Bryce and the team to win many games. They just expected to see competency and something really anything to build on going forward. What we did not want to see was multiple steps back again. And with the investments that have been made there's really no excuse.
    • I firmly believe that ship is sailed.  When he came out for his presser, I literally just watched it thinking how the guys in that locker room feel listening to this same poo every week.  Sure, there are other shitty players on this roster, and definitely some coaches, but when the one guy on the field whose play can make or break your day is consistently atrocious, where they’re doing poo like Dan shows in this breakdown…. Bro, we’re in year 3 and you don’t recognize they’re in zone and a defender is waiting to break on the pass you just stared down for 2 seconds?  And okay, that happens to every QB from time to time, but again, we’re in year 3, and you did it not once, but multiple times in one game.  Somebody else shared in a thread yesterday, I think it was, that the Jags didn’t even run anything exotic.  They didn’t blitz.  They didn’t try to confuse him.  They literally ran zone the majority of the game and rushed 4.  And the poo he did in this breakdown, especially that throw to Renfrow, looked, from memory, exactly like the picks he threw to Jessie Bates repeatedly.  So imagine that guy coming in the locker room and trying to say anything to you.  Even if it’s an apology.  I don’t want to hear it.  You are costing us a chance to win, and if you know you’re not capable of doing better, fall on your sword and take your ass to the bench.  That’s what a good teammate would do.  A shitty one keeps going out there selfishly doing the same dumb poo he’s been doing.  And Dan didn’t even show the scramble to stumble to fumble, which also seems like Bryce has done more times than I’ve ever seen one player do in my life already.  It’s just comedic at this point that anyone is still pretending he is anything but what he’s shown to be.  I really just wish he would bow out and give the players who are actually doing their job a fuging chance.
    • I think he has a chance and his mental makeup is a big part of why. I also think the Bears got a little complacent over the course of that game because the Vikings were completely inept on offense for most of it and once it started clicking for the Vikings the Bears couldn't get their head in the game and realize they had to wakeup and dial in again.
