"Carolina Panthers going nowhere with Ron Rivera, Cam Newton"


Recommended Posts

Schein was on the Panthers wagon in 2008 and since then has disliked us. he picked us to go 4th in the division last year but said we tied three other teams instead of finished second. He was factually correct but wrong in his prediction then and will be wrong in his prediction now. We will finish second based on a strong defense and good offense.

he contradicts himself quite a bit. For example, he starts out with Cam Newton isnt an elite qb and carolina wont go anywhere with him but then later staes that Gettlemen should have appointed his own staff including a QB coach to foster newton.  Why foster a qb you said isnt the answer?

Reading this reminds me of how important week 1 vs. Seattle is going to be.  it has nothing to do with Cam vs Wilson.....it has everything to do with coming out with an early win.  Winning breeds confidence....if we lose week 1 (just like last year) I think it can easily send us spiraling down to where this guy may end up being right.  That game means everything (IMO)

If the Saints get back on track, I could see the Panthers in last place in the NFC South, as they are currently constructed. Offensively, I don't think this team is much better than last year

The NFL has banked on Seattle being on the league's elite teams... they get four primetime games. Hard not to see us as the jobbers being fed to make the Seahawks look good

Schein wrote the same kind of article about the Browns a few offseasons ago. And he was right in that situation. And I get where he's coming from now. But if he liked our haul from the draft, why does he think we aren't better?

 

I agree, we haven't made any real waves or improvements. He is right. But we are a hair better than last year and with a few different bounces last year we would have been over .500, so we will be competitive still. We just aren't much.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
