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.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
