I cannot post slower for Bwood lol..

I was attempting to be humorous making fun of the OP and other supporters of Cut him after one game threads.... So cutting Gamble and Double trouble is Okay then?!

You forget that 90% of the board wanted to cut Gamble prior to last year. Screamed for his head ever since the Minisotta KR debacle and especially after Foxy benched him in 2010. When he was injured last TC, oh you should re-read some of the "off with his head" comments on here.

The screams for cutting Hogan, though unreasonable and unfounded, are nothing new to our knee-jerk fanbase.

No pass deflections, no interceptions. Only 3 tackles in 3 games. How the hell was he a baller?

Stats for corners mean nothing. Ill give you stats and you tell me if a guy had a good game, horrible game or didnt even play.

0 pass deflections

0 interceptions

0 tackles.

It could be any of the three options. You have to watch the games and ignore the stats for corners and Hogan is the second or third best corner on this team. So yeah cut him!!!

obviously you didn't pay attention to his game play while assuming stats are the only thing that matters.

dude was a baller.

Players, especially CBs and DTs, can play well without much to show for on the stat sheet. Their job is more preventative, less reactionary. Admittedly, I'm only going off the eyeball test, and with about 9 months to fade my memory, but I remember him playing well. Same way guys like Gamble and Asomugha play well without much on the stat sheet. Not saying he played like them, but CB is the worst position to call someone a nonproducer because of a lack of stats. I'd be more interested to know what his average successful pass against him (or whatever that one that Revis was #1 and Gamble was #2 in) was like. That, and average yards after the catch against him, things like that. Things that actually measure his effectiveness. Not that there was much to go on, but I suspect he would have fared well in those measures for a rookie CB just recovering from an injury.

Why'd you have to go and make the same point as me, but more succinctly, while I was in the middle of typing my novel that some people are going to take the time to post a comment that they didn't take the time to read it! Damn you!

For what it's worth, my post earlier wasn't trying to say that Hogan played awfully last year. I was simply pointing out that he only really had one "good" play. He did play his coverage pretty decent for the most part. I just thought "baller" was a fairly over exaggerated adjective to be applied to his play last year.

I have been on here since the Gross draft...i think... Or was that the official board? I am still quite suprised at people not understanding injury or preseason. Sure I may be guilty with give Otah another chance but I think the panthers gave him the right amount of chances and subsequent cut.

The Ron Rivera must go( or he has done nothing!) crowd may be another level...for me...they make me hate understanding the internets.

people want to cut Hogan despite his stellar man coverage skills last year.. I think baller is valid adjective to use considering most can't remember how nice Hogan was compared to any second CB ready to start for the Panthers in the last 7 years...

but Josh Norman is considered by many to lock up that #2 CB position... lol

    • I need to redo my sub then.  Didn't realize that
    • Here is how I see it. I haven't read through all the comments so it has probably been said. We had ONE way, just one single way to win that game against the Bills. With us having a QB who decided he wanted to switch teams real quick, the only chance (and yes, still a small chance) to win that game was run the ball, with one of top, most violent RB's in the league, down the throat of one of the worst defenses in the league. You start the first play and you keep doing it until the final whistle. Doing this keeps the ball out of the hands of our QB who forgot what he was supposed to be doing that day. It keeps the ball out of the hands of a solid offense you would have to stop. You run the ball with the guy who gets more yards, which in turn should net you more points (I think Dave forgot that getting more yards is better than less yards though, so I hope someone let him know this after the game). Running the ball also can eat up the clock if successful. So the only way we win is a slow, methodical low scoring game where we own the time of possession. What does Dave do? The exact opposite of all that. Dave honest the god, took the best gameplan you  could use, a gameplan any 10 year old that only watches every other game would know to use, that every single fan knows you had to use, Dave's gameplan was to do the exact opposite of that. Dave thought it is better to use a RB that would net you way less yards than the other. Someone will have to explain why it is better to 1/3 the yards you could get (explain why a 4 yard gain is better than a 12 yard gain.) I honestly dont know why less yards is better. It seems like some are saying guys are happier and have more fun the following Monday if they lose but someone is happier because they got to run more? That confuses me. Dave decided instead to put the ball in the hands of a QB who would forget which way they are going down the field, and that's the game has a timer, which ends when the timer goes to zero. Not only does Dave decide to play the players that do worse in practice and games, he will avoid the plays that would seem to have the most chance of success, he decides to keep to the plays that don't work. In orher words, if history shows the play would yield success, you dont use that play. If you have been using a play that does not work at all, that means you should not use any other play except the ones that dont work. Dave will have to explain that strategy also because I don't understand it.  And finally, those who actually watch the whole game can see it, Dave Canales shows an immense amount of fear. He was scared to death of the Bills. You can't get that from the box score. You also can't understand just how much his fear contributes to the loss. Thats why people who say it was all Dalton just don't have the mental capacity to judge, or did not watch at all (only looked at numbers). For example, I think it was the second drive (maybe forth). Dave stopped a touchdown, it was all him. Rico does what Rico does (made Dave look dumb by showing more yards are better than less) and busts out something like a 40 yard run. Things are rolling. Instead of keeping the drive rolling Dave said "hold up, less points are better than more points...i have to stop this." So he pulls out a play so dumb that it leaves the place in shock. He puts Dalton out wide where everyone knows he is worthless, making the decision that we are onlying using 10 players this play, and we don't feel like have a QB at the moment....the perfect time for wildcat (because we are cats too). Its executed exactly as Dave hoped for, flawlessly...a loss of yards. Booyah. Things looking good. Now it's time to put it in Dalton's hands to seal the deal. It goes off perfectly. Buffalo gets the ball. Dave proves he is a genius. I guess I was wrong about him...
