How the Panthers got their groove back (NFL.com article)

Haha I love the title they gave this piece on the NFL.com front page.

 

This is a very long article analyzing our performance recently.

They're back!

That's what the NFL world is saying about the Carolina Panthers, who have reeled off three wins in four games to insert themselves into the conversation about possible playoff teams.

fug Bucky Brooks.

 

Oh wait, he said good stuff?

I'm new here...am I doing this right?

 

 

yeah that's pretty much what goes on around here.

 

For real though, Bucky Brooks used to be a Panthers scout, and went to Carolina, so he does have a soft spot for us I think. He does good work over there for the NFL though....not like some of the morons that are out there

Nice read.  Really liked this quote:

 

"Part of Newton's recent success can be attributed to his decision to finally take the check-down when deeper routes are covered. He's also scrambling more to pick up positive yards when receivers fail to come open downfield. This has allowed the Panthers to stay ahead of the chains and avoid the kinds of long-yardage situations that play into the hands of defenders."

 

Cam has started to understand the little things that make the big difference.  His play over the past three games has been beyond stellar.  I hope (and believe) he had gotten over the hump and is ready to consistently deliver wins.

no. bucky says good things about us quite frequently, esp. this year.

 

he's kind of a weekly fixture on the drive and usually is very positive about what's going on around here.

I keep looking at my calendar but it still say's today is Tuesday. FUG!!!

 

stare harder.

 

it moves quicker that way.

 

and if you focus on one tiny point of it and let it get a little blurry you'll see a unicorn riding a dolphin in 3D.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
