Let's not put the Panthers in the Hall of Fame just yet. Carolina's defense was dry roasted by Drew Brees, but you knew Brees was going to get his (30-of-42, 313 YDS, 4 TD, 0 INT). At home, Brees is a point-scoring robot. When the Saints play in the dome, all Brees has to do is breathe on the football and the points reproduce like Tribbles.

 

He must read The Huddle, because who in the media is putting the Panthers in the HOF. Has a whole team ever gone into the HOF?

Users who post here have more credibility than writers for the BR

Freeman's work has been posted here before. Sometimes well received, sometimes not.

He has a half decent resume', but his career also has some 'interesting' events on record if you care to research him.

I didn't see anything wrong with it really.  I don't like that he just glossed over the comeback win vs the Pats because it wasn't a "key divisional game late in the season" (um, ok? Newton was legitimately great that game), but it's true.  For us to beat these types of teams, we need Cam to be more than just a methodical dink and dunk kind of guy.  

 

It's all part of the growth and maturation process for Cam.  As good as we've been this year, it just seems like we need another year of seasoning and a few more pieces before we'll be able to make REAL noise.  I'm hopeful I'm wrong on that point and we can do damage in the playoffs this year, but just my gut feeling.

The problem with that is this team doesn't give Cam the opportunity to be superman. They made him a game manager. Well a game manager ain't beating Drew Brees in the dome. He's just running the offense taking what the defense gives. That will win you some games when your defense is creating turnovers and shutting the opposing offense out, but not against a well oiled machine like the saints in the dome.

I think this bit...

Newton and the Panthers had an opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the league by beating the Saints. They could have told the league: We're not just a pretty defense. We're not a fad. Our offense can play, too. We're here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and we're all out of bubble gum.

Instead, it was New Orleans, in a 31-13 drubbing of Carolina at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, that made the statement, putting the Panthers in their place—which is behind the Saints. Nice kitties. Good try. Cute effort.

...might rub a few people the wrong way.

As with every other facet of this team- consistency means everything.

 

No fanbase? Start winning consistently and they'll be back

No love from the media? Start winning consistently and they'll give you the occasional pass.

No credit from other teams? Beat them on a regular basis and they'll respect you.

Under the radar? 3 or 4 consecutive 9-10 win seasons or better and you'll be on everyone's radar.

 

Winning cures all. In the meantime the Panthers are maybe the 4th best team in the NFC.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
