Too Much hero worship. Perhaps Panthers owners, GM, and coaches bought into the Cam Newton hype and forget build a team.

The defense is atrocious. Eli Manning made the D-line and DBs look silly.

The offense prefers to use high school trickery over proven NFL winning techniques. Cam is basically a single-read QB. That may have worked in the SEC, but it will not work in a league where film study never takes a backseat to talent

This team confuses boorish behavior with toughness. Little 89 can yell like a mad man all he wants. At the end of the day he's an aging WR with a Napoleon complex surrounded by a bunch of men who would rather tell you what they are rather than prove it.

This is not a good team. I rate this team slightly above the KC Chiefs.

Cam Newton is far from a single read QB, hilarous to me that people still think of that. I could barely watch the game myself, but even I could tell Newton is still the only highlight of that team with his ability to look off defenders, check down and go through his reads and make difficult throws. 3INTs look horrible when your Defense can't stop a drive and give your offense a chance to have a balanced attack and not continue to play from behind.

You're objective in the same way a constipated turd has a great view of the night sky.

I honestly haven't seen enough panthers games to make a judgement on where Cam is, but the games I have seen (last night and particularly last year's games against the falcons) its been pretty ugly

The defense looks confused. Eli had time to go throw his progressions twice. Don't understand how a team expects to win with Bad DBs and no pass rush. Does not makes sense considering the new HC is suppose to be a defense-first guy.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
