Coker has really stepped up to draw as much positivity for himself out of our current QB's limitations. When you are only getting six or less targets a game, it is imperative you catch them all. XL has dropped some passes, so has TMAC. Coker has not. Putting their production side by side is meaningless as TMAC cannibalized most of the 100-150 yds per game that Bryce doles out. One of the few games Bryce had more than 150yds passing, what do you know, XL has 90yds receiving and a touchdown. I'll say it again, throwing away a 1st round pick, acting like you know the kid doesn't want to play football, and has a low IQ is ridiculous while simultaneously talking about QB up grades/trash play in other threads.

Yeah, a more productive QB may make certain WRs already considered busts more productive. I am just glad Bryce finally took a walk on the wild side and gave Coker a chance in the endzone.

We need Reuben Bain out of Miami. He is projected to go early twenties and has been coached by Jason Taylor. Kid has crazy bend, can hold at the point of attack, and possesses a high motor. They keep winning, that could change, but kid is a game changer.

It was on the line when he hired Morris. I remember watching that press conference and thinking the countdown to both of the getting fired starts now.

As Cam and Luke said to Josh Norman in the Amazon series, somebody ass is looking fat. AI just isn't there yet. I do remember Cam telling Brandon Marshall and OchoCinco on a podcast that if he didn't watch his diet he'd be 280 quick. AI said hold my beer.

Once it was tied up 17 all and we punted, I knew what the outcome would be. The betting line was +2.5 vs -2.5 and the Saints ended up winning by three. I started immediately thinking of the hands to the face, the horseshite alignment call on the kickoff return. The three obvious first downs where catches were overturned or the ball was spotted a yard short. That's why I was so mad at Dave for turning down the 50-52yd FG to go up 10. I was texting my friends that we need to get points and get out of here with a win because keeping it close gives the officials a lot of leeway!

Ego, they are garbage and most coaches feel like they field a better team with better scheming. Also, personnel differences. Plus, coaches can't count on 11 flags and numerous horrible spots to keep their teams in the game against us.

Rooting for Zane was weird because he was their third signee at kicker and was pulling the 0fer for long kicks. I was like please get it inside the 50 so he'll at least have a chance!

Number 4 in the playoff picture!

I never said anything about Jonathan Mingo bud. You keep bringing his name up for some reason. But real quick, how's that Derrick Brown dismissal in the aforementioned timeframe working out for ya?

I'm not going to continue to derail this man's DB appreciation thread. I'll keep hoping our players get better and you just keep dismissing them before they even play half of their first contract. I just prefer to wait a tad longer than one, one and half seasons before declaring people complete busts.

Wow, you really were mad about that weren't you? I just said you may be wrong. You instantly resorted to name calling and just down right nastiness. Wow, and I thought you were one of the more sensible posters here. See, I was wrong there wasn't I? I just needed to wait until we had the right difference in point of view for you to turn into a total schmuck and give a schmuck response.

Boy, you really have a hard on for this guy don't you? I was merely pointing out where the negativity and bust talk is at this point in Panthers' fandom. It is pointed at XL right now. You were wrong about DB, and you may be wrong here. But I guess you wouldn't be Shonuff if you didn't do with the confidence of a three year old wearing a Batman t-shirt.

Nope, they have the pitchforks out and torches lit for XL. Yet another guy in his second season who is the worst Panther to put on a jersey due to him not being another player they wanted to draft, didn't hit the ground running like a Jamar Chase, and any positives(blocking/getting open/running off coverage), are looked at as general nothing burgers. Even though traditionally a WR takes till year three to get it, according to huddle opinions, they should find an exit strategy now.

Yes, when you have a little running back wrapped up by an interior lineman, he's still fighting, and you have a clear shot to bring the hammer, you do it. Somehow he came flying in, got ran over, and Corum scored. And I've seen him fly in and knock teammates chin strap loose who had players on the ground. Just inconsistent and highly upgradeable. Would love to pick Caleb Downs if there isn't a game changing LB there in round one. That's never been our modus operandi, but ya know, dreams and what not.

Pete Carroll literally cost himself a 2nd championship with that nonsense! Power running teams throwing on the 1 is just self hate at its finest.

For some reason this is becoming a disturbing trend in the NFL. Teams are shutting down one part of their offense without causation from the opposition. Shane Steichen did it an overtime loss against Kansas City last week with the best back in the NFL. Pete Carroll allowed Chip Kelly to completely abandon the run game against Dallas the week before he was fired in Oakland as the OC. Matt Lafleur abandoned the pass instead choosing to rely on a bottled up run game when we clearly were having issues with the passing game. Big brain play callers some of them HCs are what the league wanted along with high powered offense and these dudes are making some of the dumbest situational calls I've ever seen. At least most of them are young and can learn, Canales included. I remember Norv Turner trying to throw the ball around the yard in a certain SuperBOWL, going in at halftime down 13-6. Emmitt Smith said get me the d*mn ball and took over in the 2nd half. Remember Kyle Shanahan in the 2nd half vs. the Patriots? This shite happens to the best and the brightest. We are just actively seeing it play out in real time just like Atlanta and Dallas fans before us. Also, not saying Canales is going to become either of those, just begging/hoping for our sanity he gets his shite together if he's going to be our HC.

Exactly, to the point that this dude is answering everyone's posts individually and questioning Cam Newton as a player over it. This schmuck even said if Kasay could've ran down the field and stopped the ball from going out of bounds he would have. People continuing to show Cam and that fumble gif after he drug the team to a championship appearance in a MVP season, with Mike Shula as his OC, and MIke Remmers as his starting OT is proof of how much people dislike him for non football reasons! And that's the triple truth Ruth!

Jaycee Horn does the same seemingly. He is super grabby and physical all game, but the refs wait till its particularly impactful in the game to call the penalties. I'm constantly holding my breath on big third down incompletions that a yellow graphic doesn't appear on screen to keep the drive going.

Yeah some said Tolbert whiffed on the chip or double team help.

Yeah, you may have to give them the edge considering guys like Mitchell Evans who was taken in later rounds is contributing and grading out so well.

Man, Rico has a high football IQ! He's added some great suggestions to the coaching staff cause the proof is in the pudding. He went to the coaching staff on the zone pitch run that we gashed Miami with.

Thanks for admitting three posts too late. I'm just messing with ya. I hope Bryce continues to play better and XL rewards great throws like Sunday with consistent hands.
