Cold Hard Truths About This Team and the State of The Panthers...

The cold hard truth is that Cam is not mature enough to be a successful QB in the NFL, at least not the way he looks now. It's time to bring in Anderson and hope that Cam grows up in a few years.

I still can't get that stupid superman thing at 26-6 or the eyes closed during the press conference thing out of my head. My brother, who went to an SEC school, called it correctly when they drafted him--- an immature egomaniac who talks about himself in the third person and is great as long as things are going well.

This is exactly right. Listening to the radio this morning they were praising Jerry Reese the Giants GM for building a team that had such great depth in that their REPLACEMENT PLAYERS destroyed our starters. That's the difference in a good front office and a bad one.

Just imagine if our top receiver (Smith), third receiver (Louis Murphy) starting right tackle (Byron Bell), starting running back (Stewart) all went down with injuries and were out of the next game on the road in primetime. You think we'd be beating anyone 36-7? Hell no. poo, we were missing Stewart and Bell last night and our line and run game was atrocious.

Thanks to Hurney and his "management" of the roster we don't even have quality starters much less backups who would even start for most good college teams. Would Armanti have been a 4 year starter at a Division 1 school?

Funny that JR wants to emulate the Steelers but runs his team nothing like that.

There is a reason the top handful of teams stay the top handful of teams. Why do Pittsburgh, New England, and the NY Giants stay good year after year? Those teams always find gems in the draft, don't give mediocre players huge contracts, and cut players when they decline or get injured. Some teams stay very good for a long time due to a great QB...Colts, NO, and SD but once that QB is gone they'll decline. Those teams must capitalize while that QB is in their prime.

For all the bone headed moves this organization has made, benching Cam for Anderson would be the biggest. Cam is the least of this teams problems. He has no offensive line, the defense can't stop anyone forcing the offense to throw to much, outside of Smith, who is a shadow of the player he once was, the receiving corp never gets open, special teams suck and never get us the ball in prime scoring position, and the coaching staff calls bazaar plays.

You're blaming Chudzinksi over McDermott for this? The offense was down before they even stepped on the field. The defense couldn't stop anything...yes the O couldn't keep up but damn...when the D is just an open sieve it really puts a damper on the original offensive game plan. I'm not defending him but you've gotta take that into account.

I think you are right. There are many other problems, but having a grown-up quarterback on the field when things aren't going your way can make a big difference. I'll bet the other Panthers just cringed when Cam did his Super Man thing-- I know I did. You hand the ball to the ref and your tell your guys -- "that's number one, lets get out there and do it again".

Every time I've seen Anderson on the field he's seemed in control and he has looked like a pro. I don't think it will come to a point where they would bring him in, but it does cross my mind when I see things like last night's performance.

I didn't like the Superman thing either when the game was pretty much over. I would have rather Cam walk just walk over and hand the ball to a kid with no celebration. Same can be said for Smith acting like a raging Hulk after catching the ball every time. Its one thing to get your team and fans fired up, another when your getting embarrassed

Funny thing is, Jerry Reese made some questionable moves, but he put his neck on the line for moves that had huge risk/reward implications and it made all of the difference - namely FA signings. Meanwhile, Hurney spends the offseason sitting on his hands just to keep them warm.

He lacks the intestinal fortitude to make moves to put us in a perpetual state of success. He's strictly inclined to keep his job and be consistent at being inconsistent. That is all.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
