the panthers used a backup qb and ground an inferior team into the ground until the fourth quarter. then they went relaxed and let them almost come back into the game. at the end their best player made a play to secure the win. 

 

the ending not withstanding, that was a pretty good game.

 

cam adds probably 10-13 points to the game today. 

 

it's a good day to cheer for the carolina panthers. pour yourself an asheville brew and enjoy the moment. you get to be happy for a whole week.

Yep, I would have to agree that the Panthers seemed to go into a relaxed mode of play late in the game. I do not know why coaches do this. Hardly ever is a good thing. Reminds me of the old "prevent defense" feel or the infamous "four corners" UNC basketball coach Dean Smith used to employ in basketball before the shot clock rules were implemented. These may not be the best analogies, but the point is that when a coach abandons the attack mode that gives them the lead, the net effect is that the offense seems to lose momentum and will find it hard to regain it. This tends to allow rallies from the other team. I hope that this will be a lesson to our offensive coordinator and to Rivera for that matter. KEEP THE PEDAL TO THE METAL ON THEMS BEACHES!!!!

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
