Justifiably, just on Countdown...

 

  • Cris said he is sick and tired of hearing about Smitty being the ONLY offensive weapon we have to help him.  Said Cam is one of the bright, young QBs and needs help.  He also said it's awfully hard when you have guys like RG3, Kap, and Wilson, and "some cities" won't stand behind their QB or be patient when he isn't being given any help.  I don't know what that last part was supposed to mean and certainly hope that wasn't intimated in some way to Cris, as he knows Cam really well.

 

  • Keyshawn said the same thing about our lack of offensive weapons.  Said we have nothing outside of Smitty to help Cam.  Then said, we have $100 million in RBs that "can't get over the hump," and if you have your QB as your leading rusher considering that investment, you have a problem.  Interestingly enough, he said he didn't know our OC (Chud) had left to coach Cleveland until it was just reported by Lisa Salters (lol), and when they said Mike Shula is now our OC, he basically laughed and said "that isn't helping him."  He said Shula historically hasn't shown he can do anything in this league.  Wow (have to wonder if he heard things from Bucs teammates, considering Key went there a year after Shula was replaced as OC).

 

  • TJ then basically said the same thing, but added that all the other young QBs in the league have some of the best running games behind them, and Cam needs that.

They haven't really used the draft or FA to pick up anyone to grow with Cam Newton. They haven't really invested in the offense at all, except for the two high dollar RB's.  Take a look at what Indy did with Luck, they drafted him and then built an offense around him playmaker wise by using draft picks on players to grow with him. Washington went out and spent a ton of money on WR's to put around RG3. 

 

There's a reason it hasn't been working in Charlotte and it's because they haven't paid enough attention to putting young playmakers around Cam that he and the offense can grow with. There's Smitty and Cam Newton with a side of Greg Olsen and that's pretty much it on offense.

they trashed olsen so fug them

I'm not sure that's how they intended it to come off, but if it was, I think its because of his reputation as being a one-demensional player.

Regardless, they have a point. Look how the Skins, Colts, Hawks, and Niners have surrounded their QBs with talented playmakers, no matter the cost.

Cam has done the most with the least since snap one.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
