With these scenarios we now know?

1. The defense would be worse than it was last year?

2. Cam would have more INT than TDs?

3. We wouldn't use Mike Tolbert?

4. Our only division win is against the Saints?

5. Our only win is against the Saints?

6. The franchise would hit rock bottom on National TV?

7. Rivera lacks the emotion to fire up the team?

8. Beason would not perform at the same level?

9. Our special teams is worse?

10. We are running a college offense?

We tried to use Tolbert on two very important 3rd down passes vs Atl and he dropped the ball. That's not a scheme or game plan issue. I thought that 4th and 1 was the right time to see what we had in Tolbert as well. In that case...he was not used.

Beason's form is surprising but he has an injury.

Not worse...

2. Cam would have more INT than TDs?

Technically he has 7 total TDs, 5 INTs

3. We wouldn't use Mike Tolbert?

Tolbert has at least 1 15+ yard rec in 3 of 4 games. Not sure why people though he would get many touches here

4. Our only division win is against the Saints?

Thought Tampa would be it but 1 division win isn't a shock in itself

5. Our only win is against the Saints?

Wouldn't of guess that

6. The franchise would hit rock bottom on National TV?

I wouldn't call that rock bottom, could be an early turning point if we continue moving in the direction we started the week after

7. Rivera lacks the emotion to fire up the team?

Meh. Tony Dungy is a great leader. Only the team knows.

8. Beason would not perform at the same level?

That shouldn't be a shocker, that was the realistic assumption

9. Our special teams is worse?

Not worse

10. We are running a college offense?

Anyone who watched last year should of known what we are

1 - Expected

2- Duh

3- Expected

4- Not expected, I seen the saints going 2-0 against Carolina and Tampa

5- See #4

6- Expected

7- Expected

8- Meh, I like Beason so I wouldn't expect that

I was optimistic, so I probably would have laughed in your face if you told me those things. That will be the last time I make the mistake of having hope in the offseason that the Panthers might be good the following year. The time for hope is over, it's time for results. Until wins occur I will just watch and enjoy, no more starry eyed imaginings of rings and titles. Just here and now.

At the very best, I figured we'd be 8-8. I was thinking more along the lines of 5-6 wins again. I knew we we would have problems when we didn't fix the pass rush/D-Line. Either we fix the back end of the defense with studs and have no pass rush or fix the pass rush.

I shook my head at all the people on this forum that thought we were going 10+ wins. It is not realistic with our talent or coaches.

      Game Observations

      Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
