In the years I've been watching football, which isn't very long, I've never seen a team that was so sabotaged by it's coaching staff. I mean I've seen bad coaching, I've seen bad teams, but I never seen a team held hostage by the coaches before. This is insanity.

Have you ever seen a coaching staff leave a working offensive style, in favor of something comletely new? Then once that new idea fails on it's head, they refuse to go back to what worked? You would have a hard time convincing me that was anything less than sabotaging. I mean this staff should be put on trial before court, because what they have done to this team is straight criminal. The funny thing is Rivera acting like he doesn't know what's wrong when he's speaking in his press conferences. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when thinking about this team.

So now I'm not even mad at the coaches anymore, I think they proved they are insane at this point. Now I would like to ask the question about our players. We got real talent here, so why aren't they making a fuss about the coaching at this point? I said it before, if I were Cam, I would be in Rivera and Chud's ears about eliminating the read option. And if they won't hear that, I would start calling my own plays in the huddle. If they bench me, they bench me. If I were Josh Norman, I would start playing more man coverage. If they bench me, they bench me. These players are taking all the heat, when all of this is caused by our coaching staff. It's not right, it's downright criminal. So have you guys ever seen a situation like this?

start derek anderson!

Well if you consider that move to be insane, it may counter the insanity that is already being displayed. Kind of like curing a poison with a poison. Yet my argument with Derek Anderson is lost, because people seem to think I'm saying Anderson is a better QB than Cam. Or more talented than Cam. People will hear what they want to hear.

Just a couple of years ago, we had two of the better running backs in the league. Today, no one even knows who they are. Man, these guys don't get 15 carries between them. That is insane. With the kind of backs we have, our running game should be a strength. It's turned out to be our biggest weakness. What makes me mad is when I hear people saying Smitty, D-Will, and guys like that are done, when I know they can still play. I'm sick of looking at this mess, and no one is really getting on the coaches as much as they should. Half of the criticism is going to the players. I wish all of the criticism was going toward the coaches from the media and fans alike.

I understand the frustration, and I'm right there with you. But this line of thinking is a bit off IMHO. Do you have a boss? Do you always agree with what he/she asks you to do? No. But you do it anyway, cause you want to keep your job and keep those paychecks coming.

Defying coaches is a one-way ticket out of the NFL. Just ask Ray Edwards.

Yeah, but if I saw my boss running the business into the ground, I'm obligated to do something. First I would go to him/her, and talk about the problem. If he/she refuse to listen, then drastic measures should be taken. If I'm a person of intergrity, and people see me having to take drastic measures, they would look at that boss to see why I'm doing what I'm doing. Ray Edwards is not necessarily a class act. Seeing him acting up is nothing new. Plus the Falcons are a successful franchise under Mike Smith, they just struggle in the playoffs.

Cam the Scam is not making the throws, O-line cant make holes or protect, the freekin D cant cover Chitt, Coaching staff is lame big time, no adjustments @ halftime or during the game, so sickening to watch my team go down the drain,

and you guys are blind that think Cam is the answer, he's a great athlete but a so so QB, we'll NEVER win a SB with him,

im no expert, but Ive been a fan of football for 40 years, have watched many games/teams and this team SUCKS.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
