Am I the only person in Pantherdom that is remembering this offense is just missing Agent 89?

OH MY GOD THIS OFFENSE IS TERRIBLE WE'RE DOOMED DOOMED DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORST OFFENSE EVER!!!: talk radio, tons of Huddlers, tweeters

 

As long as Steve Smith is ready for the first playoff game (all signs point to this being the case), why should ANYONE be concerned about this? Heck, even if he's not 100% or can't play, we did win both of those games right? One beating Brees/Payton combined for the first time since 2008, the other beating Matt Ryan in the dome for the first time ever. 

 

I'm not worried about the offense. At all.

With our defense, the only teams we need to be able to score over 21 points against are the Broncos in the Super Bowl or the Seahawks in Seattle. WHICH I THINK WE CAN DO! But Green Bay, Philadelphia, San Francisco....none of these teams is scoring over 21 against our defense at home, come on.

There is no concern here. Some people here seem to have an irrational love for Chud, even though we lost a majority of the games with him and the players all say he wasn't coaching to win games but to get a better job.

I'm not concerned with the offense, we're doing just fine. We've won twelve games with Shula, which is about as much as we won with Chud over two seasons.

Well you should be. Besides your credibility here is pretty shot after Cam's 4 game winning drives.

 

Please shut up about that. I got mad with Cam early in the year and paid up when I didn't have to. This after being one of his biggest supporters up until early this year and having created the big, definitive thread about why we should draft him in Early 2011. You people need to get over it. If I was to bump up all of the incredibly glowingly positive threads people had about the Panthers in years past that were laughably wrong, it would dwarf my Cam can't win thread from this season.

Last few games? Scored 30 in one, missing 89 in the others. Your point is irrelevant if you believe Steve Smith will play in the playoffs like I do.

 

The game we scored 30 in, 7 of those were from the defense and another TD came off a blocked punt.

 

I think the offense will be waaaay better with Smitty, personally, but I'm still concerned with shula's playcalling.

    • I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.
    • This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.
    • He’s a leader on this defense. Sometimes you need a guy because he makes those around him better. Talent wise he is a career backup but he’s part of the fabric of this d that’s already gelled.  If you bring in all these new pieces without some of the established leadership you have a lack of focus. This is a good signing.
