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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
