How well does a Ferrari drive while offroading?

Told you guys this team wasn't built to win in today's league. While pass rush has improved, the d line still can't fill the gaps against the run and the secondary is absolutely awful. Norman is only playing as well as a 5th round rookie possibly can, which is not nearly good enough, and really the only player we have in the back four that any competent team would be willing to start is Gamble. Godfrey is nowhere near worth the money he's earning, and Nakamura is god awful. Just god awful. Unbelievable with the need for better safeties how we whiffed on the chance to pick up Landry for only 4 million. The running game is bloated with too much talent and not enough opportunity for each to contribute and earn their pay. On a good rushing day our white elephant running backs barely eclipse double digits in rushing attempts. Meanwhile Michael Turner proves just like Andre Brown did ten days ago that less is more with more all purpose yards than "DOUBLETRUBBBLLEEZZ" or "TRIPLETHREATSZZ" or whatever the fug you running game fetishists are calling our backfield at this point.

4th season in a row starting 1-3 or worse. Not really a characteristic of a consistent winner. The losing spell continues until Hurney has an epiphany that causes him to re-evaluate his prioritization of where to invest in talent on this team, or is replaced with someone who already possesses that wisdom.

This has to be Hurney's last year. If not then we know Gantt was right that he has the job for life. And in that case, we just have to wait until new ownership arrives. I have a strong feeling we'll have to do the latter.

Me and Lineal were discussing in a thread earlier, which may be its own thread... But, you have to start wondering if JR is pulling strings on gameday at this point. Because no matter the coach, we seem to always tend to play it safe and the philosophy never changes that much between them.

His dedication to Hurney, his love of the Shield at the expense of the game, fans, etc... It's a viable question.

Just did a check and you'll be surprised to hear this but the Panthers are the only team to start the first quarter of the season 1-3 or worse for the last four years in the entire league. The Rams don't even have that distinction. Cleveland either.

If 1000 people can forward this as an email to Jerry Richardson and Marty Hurney, I wonder what they'd be thinking about how well whatever vision they have in their head of what the Panthers are supposed to be built to be is working...

You're right, but we always find ways to win 3-4 games in the last month of the regular season and keep hope alive for next year (except 2010)

So nobody gets fired/cut after the season ends because of that magical winning streak

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.
