a few observations from an objective NFL fan

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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
