At the end of the game, Hixon was sitting on the bench by himself, and I was looking for his presence on the field the whole game.  I wanted to see Hixon since he does have playoff and superbowl experience.  He would have been our secret weapon and Shula a la Ron dropped the ball again.  Plus McNutt would have been the secret sauce.  I was not a believer before this game in our weapons and the reason is because of Shula.  He came out in the first quarter blazing saddles then he cooled the spurs.

 

D.G. has his work cut out for him this offseason plus the decision to keep Riverboat.  Ron I like his gamble but everyone knew it was a qb sneak.  I wish Hixon would have been on the field more than Lafell.  Imo Smith, Hixon and Ginn would have been the difference in us winning the game and keeping the chains moving  to losing.  Did Hixon get any runs?

The decision to keep RIvera is going to be on Jerry Richardson  no matter what the hell DG has to say.

I still say if Rivera doesn't put in D.G.'s guy in a playoff game and the last minutes of the game you see Hixon sitting on the sidelines by himself looking like "aint this bout a bitch".  Then I am sure D.G. isn't going to be happy because Riverboat didn't use all of the tool that were forced in his toolbox.  I am pretty sure any other hc in the league would have used the one guy on offense that was brought in by a gm as a trusted piece, but not rr.  His ice up son was melted down son.

It's not a matter of Hixon having enough experience or not. The players on the field were those that Cam had the most chemistry with and reps with during the season. Everything needs to be fluid and timing has to be perfect. Perhaps in future season Hixon may work into the mix a bit more, but while

LaFell, Smitty, and Olsen are still here, Hixon will be a backup #2WR until he wins out the starting position in training camp.

Ok that's fair to say but he is the hc so that is his job.  We need someone else that can take the team to the next level by at least trying to use all of the pieces given to him.

Lmao... The guy has been here 3 years. The only thing Rivera is known for is pulling his head out of his ass and taking some risks here and there to give the team a chance to win some games.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
