I mean, not CMC.  Andy Reid hasn't known what to do with a RB his entire coaching career. 

Shady McCoy had some very productive years under Reid.

By the time the Panthers become a constant contender he will be worn down to a nub at the rate he is going.

We've never been a constant contender, have no reason to believe we're on that track either.  In fact the evidence suggests we're on a path of continuous failure.

To answer the original question....I'm fine with seeing CMC on a contender, he deserves better.  

This team is dildos.

OmegaLOL.  Just missing Cam in his prime.

Wake me when we put together a cohesive half of football offensively. Not even a whole game, a good half from end to end.

Yeah 7.7 for 35 minutes is the high water mark.  

I see zero reason for PJ to remain on this team.  Sam is close, Baker is close, Eason looked better and frankly any garbage QB signed off the street can do what PJ did yesterday.

HAHAHA we fleeced them fools.

I can’t get behind making ANY excuses for half ass effort.  These guys are getting paid, do your job or GTFO.

Game or season, full sandbox here.

Mine is 17 total 3rd down conversions in six games.  

We could have no OC at all and it wouldn’t be worse.  Literally just play back yard ball and the results would be similar.

We’re gonna have guys spiking the ball and doing dances when we get a first down.

Atalanta already has 3x more wins than we’ll get this season.

On offense we were worse than anything you’ve seen so far.  The forward pass is now non existent.  Robby went full Robby is very likely no longer a Panther.  Was sent to the showers by Wilkes.  CMC was like 160 of our 220 yards, a big chunk of it on a garbage time play.  
 

Defensively more of what you’ve already seen.  Respectable effort that breaks down eventually.

A VERY VERY boring game.

Not soon enough

The tough part about solving QB is getting enough of a sample size to make a determination.  Some guys have the IT factor and play better than they practice making it even harder to evaluate.  It seems so costly burning entire seasons searching for answers though.  I'd like to see no less three young QB prospects on the roster next year each getting at least five games of action.  It took no more than five games over the last three season to know Teddy, Sam, and Baker weren't the answer.  

Some people may not know this, but a day has two ends.  The beginning is one end and the end is the other end.  Everything thing else is the middle of the day.  But at the end of the day it was the end of the day that's the end.

I would say CJ was just going through the motions Sunday, but that would be an insult to someone else just going through the motions.  Dude was visibly not even trying on multiple plays and it really stood out.

I'm on the Dorsey bandwagon.

What was Clausen's?

To save someone a Google search, we can just call it 0.

I've been saying it...  every single one that has come here with any established history has the worst year of their careers.  BY A LOT.  It simply is amazing that he is still employed because by all observable metrics he has not shown one single encouraging sign.  He has gotten worse and offensively, we have gotten worse every year.

TMJ, Tremble, Hubbard, Shi, Corral

These are the only skill position players drafted under Rhule.  CMC and DJ are the only real threats, and that's sporadic at best given CMC injuries.  There's just nothing to strike fear in any defense.  If it worked two years ago, it's just working better now.

That is a loser mentality. You try and win every game. In a game where players put their health on the line every day and play despite injury and pain to try and win it is a huge disservice not to give your all. Clearly you haven't played anything at a high level or you wouldn't suggest such garbage.

We’ve had decent discussions in the past, by and large respectful, but this is a complete dick reply.  My post is legitimate.  You act like I’m the first person to ever suggest that not winning a few meaningless games is a bad thing.  Hell, Miami basically tried to do it openly.  Happens in MLB and NBA all the time….ALL THE TIME.  Let’s be honest, it happens plenty in the NFL as well.  Even when it isn’t sanctioned and influenced in the front office you better believe players are making business decisions for themselves on the field and certainly not giving your proclamined ALL ON EVERY PLAY.

You say I’ve never played anything at a high level?  I say you never have and you know nothing about me.  Your view is idiotic, short sighted and completely non realistic. 
 

There was a way to do this without personal attacks and maintain some civility but you took it another direction.  Go F yourself.

There are bright spots.  Pineiro has been pretty much money in the bank.  Hekker has been good, and perhaps is our best passer.  Brown is asserting himself on the DL.  Luvu has been in beast mode.  Horn has looked like he will be a lock-down corner.  The OL seems to be improving.  There are others.

But, we are a little like a car that ought to drive okay, has some great features, but the blasted computer that controls it all is utterly worthless and prevents anything from functioning at even a respectable level.  It is just the stench of the brain trust overshadows them. 

 

Always enjoy reading your replies.  This is gold though.  Could be a clever hot take under lazy examination, but he may actually be our best passer and not a hot take at all.

Plenty of justified doom threads to kick it around in, so here's a positive one!

Eddy has been one of the few bright spots on the team.  Drilled the 54 yarder yesterday.  I miss the days when I thought Zane's injury might be a problem for the team.
