Bye couldn't have come at a better time

For the team, for me... for everyone. The team could obviously use the week off, but this is also a good thing for me. Honestly, I would not be prepared for yet another emotional letdown on Sunday. Because of the bye week, I'll sleep in, watch RedZone when I wake up (if the Panthers aren't playing, this is THE way to watch games on Sundays... so happy Time Warner has it now!), and have zero stress on that day. I can sit back and enjoy the games without having to worry about my beloved Panthers crushing my heart once again. Pete (SuperMan) and anyone else here that has seen me at Ale House can attest to how much I love the Panthers and how much I get into the games. As bad as it sounds... for the first time ever, I'm happy and relieved to see a bye week. I don't know if we'll come out of it any better... but at least for one Sunday afternoon, my heart will not be broken.

(Unless one of bye week's players recovers a Cam fumble and returns it all the way for a game-winning TD. But I'm holding out hope that this will not happen.)

Always has been, always will be. If you don't care, why be a fan?

5th thread on this topic, I know we can get 6... I just know it

I had considered posting a new topic with a dissenting opinion just to see if I can spark MORE new threads on this same thing.

I haven't been on here too much this week, so I wasn't aware that there were several threads on this. But that's kind of a moot point because this thread was more about me than the team. Surely there's some of you that also needed a break from the usual heartbreak the Panthers give us.

Delivery guy came yesterday and saw our Panthers flag and said "at least we can't lose this week derp."

Then I open the observer today and one of the writers is all "at least we can't lose this week derp."

And then i realized we are getting this every year though. :(

And i'm with you. It will be nice to have a break. Losing at home gets deflating.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
