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.

      OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

      No PFF grades up yet but the all-22 is up. Just watched the first passing play (Q1 6:45) from 3rd & 2 on the CAR 37 where Bryce scrambled for the first. Dowdle whiffed going low on the blitzing Oluokun, which forced Bryce to scramble. If not for that, that ball was going to XL on a corner route that he'd have been open. Concerning though that Bryce looked like he was staring the route down (which he definitely did on the first INT of the day). This doesn't absolve Bryce as he made several flat out bad plays throughout the game. Also rather damning is that of the 40 drop backs, according to the filters there was pressure on 16 vs. 24 w/o pressure... though I'm questioning the validity of the early filters because the very first play I mentioned is flagged as "no pressure" when there's very clearly pressure. The first INT was a bad play by Bryce. He thought Murray had started dropping deep to cover Brycen Tremayne, but Murray read Bryce's eyes the whole time which stayed on XL. Murray "broke the rule" here and made a play, but he also wouldn't have made that play had Bryce not been staring XL down for most of the route.   Might not get an all-22 review post up until later in the week. I've got a conference next week that I'm prepping for and the family is still reeling from one of our pets passing over the weekend.

      Tepper is still pulling the strings

      We're just bad. Canales is not a good coach. Morgan is not a good GM. Young is not a good quarterback.  We haven't drafted well in a long time. All this stuff adds up. And now we're in a situation where no matter who we hire they're going to be starting at a negative because they're going to have to draft good talent and fill the entire team up.  I don't know guys I think we could be bad for a long time.

      So true.  I would love to have Jim, Dan, or Sean here.  So sick of stinking it up for the first 8 games and then fixing things just to make sure we dont have a top draft pick so we have to trade the farm if we want a top pick.
