It's so bad that it's happening to every team in the league.

We're not special. All teams have many of the same issues we have. We are continuing to learn and get better. The trend line has been going up ever since Canales took over. Talent level has improved. Depth is improving. Players and team are improving. Coaching on offense and defense. Front office and coaching all on the same page. Culture is changing. We are knocking on the door of the playoffs. The biggest thing we need to upgrade is half of this fan base. We are not cursed or doomed to eternal failure. The NFL is built on parity and it's hard to win especially when we are finally staying the course and not starting over every 2 years. Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Technically, that's a D,D,D,D,D,D,D,D,D,DD,D,DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

When do they have to vote? With all the dysfunction in Chicago and the stories coming out about Calab earlier this year, I'd go with Ben Johnson.

I wish I could pie you 100 times. It really is this simple. PS. Brown and Horn are both living up to, if not exceeding their contracts.

I nominate Raheem Morris for still having a job.

That is crazy. I didn't know that. Goodwin? Who is coaching the tackles? The interior?

For such an easy pass I see top QB's every week overthrow deep balls. Timing and accuracy on deep throws is not the same at all as throwing against air. Dropping dimes might be harder than throwing dots.

The hiring of Joe Gilbert last year cannot be overstated. Elite, what he's done with improving players and making chicken salad out of chicken poop due to injuries.

A Dot is any type of pass where precision, timing and accuracy are needed. Dots, darts, dimes. All the same. Deep lofting passes, tight window throws, quick passes under pressure, placing a ball exactly where it needs to be in difficult situations. If the receiver does a dance or celebration after the catch it was probably a dot. Now, slinging I take exception with. If the throw is off schedule that is more slanging. Slinging is a more over the top motion.

If someone is telling you how to get rich, 9.9999 times out of 10 you are going to get taken for a ride and they will likely end up broke. Pro teams getting in bed with Veges will only lead to a richer NFL and a richer Veges built on the backs of people losing money. Love the guy who said to only bet what you can afford to lose. Agree 100.

So far, Tepper has never fired anyone I didn't already want fired.

Great take. I'm a big Bryce fan and have been since we drafted him. My stance has always been to give him time to develop. To have some patience. I look at each play and figure out where the issue was on that play and who did their job and who screwed up. Over time you look to see if the player is improving. Stats are a reflection of making the right decisions but depend very heavily on what the other 10 guys did or didn't do and what play Canales called and the situation. I hope no one would argue that the games in which Bryce plays well, he usually plays really, really well. You can easily see on dozens of individual plays where is does things at an elite level. We can also see how the teams talks about and responds to him, on and off the field. We are at the point now where we know whats possible. The question now is how to do it more consistently. We have a young coach. We have a young GM. We have young players. We have Young. Let the Panthers cook. It may not be happening on the time table or in the exact way the fan base wants but no one can argue this is the best the team has looked from top to bottom since Watt blew up Cam's shoulder. Front office, coaching staff and players. Win, lose or draw the Panthers are exciting and contending again.

You could have read the article. It's a PR thing the NFL and Fedex has been doing for over two decades to promote Fedex, the NFL and charity work. "Winners won’t just take home accolades, they also unlock impact. Every Player of the Week honor will result in a donation from FedEx to Feeding America for a local food bank in the winning players’ cities. Since the program’s inception in 2003, FedEx has donated nearly $3 million to nonprofit organizations, such as charities and children’s hospitals, in the name of winning players. This new chapter with Feeding America brings the program’s community impact to NFL markets." Everyone is making a bunch of assumptions about the parameters of the award and what being nominated is based on and then arguing over it. It's whoever the NFL deems had a great game and then fans vote. Everybody cheers and hungry kids get to eat.

If this award is for the week, why are you pulling stats outside that parameter? It's also a fan vote so it's just PR and Marketing. The award isn't just about stats. According to the website: The program, now in its 23rd year, celebrates weekly standouts from across the league while connecting elite player performance with meaningful community support. https://newsroom.fedex.com/newsroom/global-english/fedex-air-ground-nfl-awards-enters-second-year-of-expanded-player-format

Thank you for answering the OP's question. Love the breakdown.

We have two on staff currently. I don't think that's the usual thing on most teams. Caldwell and Capers. Not to mention the relationship he has with Pete Carrol. And y'all arguing on who to replace them. Ron Rivera or John Fox? You serious, Clark?

That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field. Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in. He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit. Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet. The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher. Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.

Did I imagine that hurney called every team in the bottom half of the first round the year Pickles came out. No one would trade out even when offered next year's 1st round pick. Pickles fell to us in the second. That pick became Cam Newton. I also remember rumors saying that people inside the building preferred Blaine Gabbard.

Where's the guy from a few weeks back saying Derek Brown was a JAG and not worth his salary? What can Brown do for you? Throw offensive linemen like he's playing Cornhole. Beast.

From the 50 yard line, you say? Man, there are cameras everywhere these days. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iBZY75KLCwE

I don't know how he's won any games since he can't make NFL throws. Maybe that's why he has as many running TD's as he's gotten.

Sounds like he's mentally down and has to talk to a bunch of reporters asking him what the issue is. In any event I'm not ready to drag him into the street and shoot him yet. He just needs to keep his head down and keep working. Keep the main thing the main thing and stay off social media.

A good defensive showing can and should confuse and fluster a young QB. We confused him and pressure him which caused him to get worse and worse since he's a young QB who doesn't have the experience to overcome what we were doing. He was bad but our defense played very well. He had so many passes to the checkdown and to the sidelines it was easy to predict a pick like the one Jackson got was coming from a mile away. Only one game but I've always liked Evero even if the scheme to stop the run scares me because it seems like we have to hit every gap exactly right and it's hard to maintain that over time. Loved Moore. Coach trusts him and you can put him all over. Return punts, block, catch. He's a glue guy and exactly the type of a player a 4th or 5th guy on the depth chart has to be.
