Mage

I can honestly say, the Panthers have a 1% chance of winning this game. I'm actually surprised people think we have a snowballs chance in hell. PJ Walker sucks. The trade rumors surrounding the team means that the players probably know the front office has given up on being successful this season. You can't rule out us limiting CMC's snap so prevent injury. Wilks was the HC for a team that picked #1 overall. Say what you want about the old guard but Phil Snow got the most out of the defense. We're missing Jaycee Horn against a team with the most productive WR in football. This is going to be a slaughter. I say that with confidence.

I love the Panthers, I do... but why would anyone choose this over the Bills/Chiefs game? I'll have it split screen on my TV but Chiefs/Bills will be my focus

How much?

The competition for the #1 overall pick is strong

Am I a bad Panthers fan if I choose to watch the Chiefs/Bills game over ours on Sunday? Sucks that we play at the same time, but that seems like too good of a game to miss. CBS must of protected it because it should be a Sunday Night game.

I'd bet my last damn dollar that Tepper goes for an offensive coach. You don't watch this team for the last 3 years, see the offensive output, and don't hire someone that is considered an "offensive genius." That will be by far the #1 thing he looks for because right now, the goal for the Panthers is to put asses back in seats.

I agree with you all that it doesn't really matter if they fire Rhule right now or end of season. But I assure you all... we are not winning many games regardless of who our HC is. There is a reason Wilks got fired quickly in Arizona. Ben McAdoo? Come on now. This team is in the MUD.

I'm pretty sure the Panthers will never have a good OC in my lifetime.

Bro Wilson is dumb as hell

We also have to deal with another Broncos prime time game next week

Lol right. Rarely do you see a team do something dumber than the Panthers, but honestly trading the farm for Wilson, giving him the contract they did, and then having him perform the way he has is probably worse than any decision we've made. I mean holy crap Seahawks FLEECED these boys

If DeVonta Smith can play in the NFL, so can Bryce Young

Raise your hand if you are a happy Deebo Samuel owner =D

Lol right... this team flat out blows. Like think about it. This team has honestly been one of the healthiest teams in the league to this point and have still sucked. There is no hope for us.

I feel good. Call me a bad Panthers fan, but the only scenarios I would have been happy to see in Rhule's 3rd year as HC were a playoff run or us totally flaming out. We are totally flaming out, so I'm cool with it. We have finally reached the end of the era of Rhule. The scenario that would have made me the angriest is if we were mediocre. Like a 7-win team. That would have sucked and made me concern Rhule was brought back for a 4th.

It is a Baker Mayfield problem. It happened a lot in Cleveland too.

Colts and Bears the only teams in the league worse than us IMO

If his injury is actually something that is of semi-decent concern, then it probably isn't smart to play him on what will almost certainly be a wet football field.

Mayfield was sacked on 9.3% of his drop backs last year for Cleveland Brissett is currently at 4.2%

The back-up to the star player you have So Alexander Mattison for example has been Cook's back-up for what feels like an eternity (at least if you are a fantasy player), which is why every serious fantasy player knows about him. Cook is always hurt, so if you are a Cook owner, it helps to have Mattison on your bench so that when Cook gets hurt, you don't have to scramble for a starting RB. Aka your "handcuff"

Just gotta be patient. There are positions where it takes years for a guy to develop and CB is one of them. Andrew Thomas is another guy who looked like a bust but is starting to look like an elite tackle Okudah always had the talent. IIRC, the issue was he was not a good fit with Matt Patricia.

Rivera is a far better coach than Rhule

I'd be pretty shocked if we beat the Cardinals. Have they played well? Not particularly, but keep in mind their opponents have been the Chiefs, Raiders, and Rams. Do the Panthers even come close to a fraction of those teams? And yet they beat the Raiders and came close to beating the Rams. We also don't match-up very well against their offense. Speedsters kill our DBs every year and Hollywood Brown and Dortch are a problem, plus Rondale Moore might be back. Our undersized front seven also struggles vs bigger backs, so I think James Conner if 100% should have a strong game too.

OL honestly hasn't looked bad outside of the Browns game There is one huge problem with the offense though.

Have you watched us play this season? This was the easiest stretch of games and QBs they will play all season and they scored 5 offensive touchdowns and went 1-2. And their starting QB is barely completing 50% of his passes. They play the Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, and Bucs in the next 4 games. Very real possibility we go 1-6, and that still leaves games against the Ravens, Bengals, another Bucs game, Broncos, Lions, all teams that have looked better than us. The only games left we will be favored in are MAYBE the Falcons games, although their offense looks far ahead of ours, the Saints game if they are still playing broken back Jameis, and maybe the Steelers game since we are at home. This team is absolutely bad enough for the #1 overall pick.
