Awful Panther Stat

Recommended Posts

I don't think that returning a punt or kickoff for a touchdown is a key stat in being a successful football team. That's not going to get you to the playoffs. But anyways, that is interesting.

Hmmm

Darn well nearly won the Bears a superbowl not long ago with Hester back there. All they had was defense and special teams...

In fact, don't most coaches define special teams as often being the deciding factor in many tight games?

The Panthers should definitely appreciate good special teams, I'm sure we all remember Gambles 'spectacular' play vs the Vikings cost us the game that year.

Good special teams performances can win you games, bad ones can cost you games.

Hell, I'd love to stay in that cellar if our backfield has another year like last. Kickoff returns are hightly over rated. Sure, they pump up the fan base. But they take very little time off the clock and that's where it's at...

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
