Momentum...

Momentum: The product of the mass and velocity of an object.

p=mv

What would you say was the momentum of the Panthers in 2010 when JR purposely tanked the season? An entire football franchise moving downward at a high velocity.

Should we expect for that momentum to be broken any time soon? Are we still moving down at a slower rate, waiting for it to stop and head back up?

What say you?

You don't break momenteum, it's not something that can be stopped, that is it's influence. You slow it down first, then stop it. Slow the bleeding....then heal.

JR did more damage to this fanchise than fans will ever force themselves to see. I am compelteley baffled at the fanbase still supporting JR as the owner. Completley baffled. The lockout never happend people, we got fuged, and not 2010 fuged, our FUTURE fuged.Of course the same poeple still supporting him are the same popele that laugh at other owners not being as 'classy', like who gives a fug those owners have teams with better records.

I also find it funny how fans on this forum blame everyone. They blame chud, Rivera, players, Hurney, Fox, Jake...but all of these people are tied together by one person, JR. They all come form the source.

If you find you're not sure where to place the majority blame due to so many options or find yourself blaming basically everyone, you need to blame JR. There is no one there to fire JR if he fails at his job, think about it.

I tend to think in military terms about things like this. If I am a commander and I have evidence a massive attack is imminent and I know I do not have the resources to counter it, I pull in my overextended command to weather the onslaught until I can get reinforcements. JR knew there was going to be a reckoning with the NFLPA, and so he did his best to conserve his resources and ride it out. Once it was over he took steps to preserve his core troops, and brought in reinforcements to augment them. Based on the information given him by his field commanders (Hurney, Rivera, etc.), he acted accordingly and gave them pretty much whatever they asked for. Remember the splash he made when he finally did open his checkbook? But just like in Korea, when US and ROK troops were pinned in around Pusan, it takes time to fight your way out. Momentum is something that builds slowly but sooner or later reaches a level that makes it all but unstoppable. I have hopes that eventually we'll see that with the Panthers.

Well, yes, ultimately shitty franchises are that way because of bad ownership. But until JR croaks we can only talk about hiring and firing GMs and coaches. God is the only guy who can fire JR, and I think it's probably not very popular to go around saying I hope our owner dies.

i think we took a dive after that 'zona playoff game. that's when the momentum downhill started. we never made a climb after that. thanks, "it is what it is".

2010 was inevitable and had to happen for us to go forward. we just didn't do enough to get us pushed back up the hill.

replacing hurney would probably have helped (depending on who we got to replace him). firing fox after the '09 season would have helped rather than creating a lame duck year. that was bad on JR's part...but i can understand him 1) not wanting to pay for 2 coaching staffs and 2) not thinking that fox would tank the season.

i look at it the same way i did with kasay and jake.

it was time for jake to move on. we just replaced him with the wrong QB(s). neither moore or clausen were the guys we needed.

it was time for kasay to move on. we just replaced him with the wrong kicker (mare).

it was time for fox to move on. apparently we replaced him with the wrong guy.

i think we finally got it right in QB and hope we did with the kicker.

hopefully we get it right with the next GM and HC hire.

getting things turned around is all depending on the tone set by the new guys coming in.

blow up the roster and start over.

it's easy to throw rivera and company under the bus, but the losing was here before they got here and is being propelled by 2 things...the players and jr. they're the only ones that have been here the longest.

jr isn't going anywhere, so it's time to look at the roster. when evaluating the roster, ignore talent...you're looking for any trace of a complacency. get rid of them, regardless of who they are.

agree with everything except.......... I think we have the right HC.

I think our momentum took a decent positive turn at the end of last year and it was harmed again the first half of this year but it has been overall negative since we tanked 2010.

Momentum is the biggest reason I hope our guys keep playing hard and win some games to close out the year - draft position be damned. I hope we carry something positive into the next season under a new GM (probably new coach or at least new team philosophy?).

      RODS gotta GO

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
