so.. you think the draw was a good thing? 

 

educate yourself dude

 

"Educate yourself?" You sound like a guy peddling church-pamphlet science.

 

A draw counts as one-half win and one-half loss in the standings. It could end up being huge at the end of the season when teams are fighting for playoff spots.

 

And I'll gladly take the draw considering how piss-poor the defense played.

Cam was Galloping and Stampeding Cincinnati like The Budweiser Clydesdale in a new Commercial. 

 

As long as Newton dropped back to throw, it would have been impossible to deny him that first down in space, the way he was running.

 

Of course there were a boatload of errors, and woulda, coulda shoulda's. But the fact, that Cam worked so hard this game, you should have given him the opportunity to win it.

 

He laid his body on the line, with those 19 or so rushes, since Whitaker got hurt.

I have read a lot at this forum, but never posted a post before now. I can't believe the call of not going for it at 4th and 1. It is just completely unbelievable. I serously question coach Rivera's football instincts. By kicking the ball with just a couple of minutes left in OT, the best panthers can do is a tie. With Cam destroying the Bengals with the run all game, it is just mind blowing. With 4 minutes left in OT, I said that the Panthers now has to go all in and go for the TD, because a kick would just hand the ball over to the Bengals and give them at least a tie since they could run out the clock.

 

For me, this is at the same level as the call Rivera made back in 2011 I think when he used a timeout to stop the clock for the Saints fieldgoal unit. How can you play for the draw with Cam under center? He makes the quarterback sneek almost every time....

 

Ahhh, so frustrating....

Rivera, believes in his defense, even when they suck!

 

I guess he used up his River Boat Ron privileges,going for it,  earlier in the game already.

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE are more upset about wasting the first drive in OT by checking it down on 3rd and 6 instead of actually trying to get it. Stupid people will never realize the fact that that decision is where the win was actually forfeited. Cam was on fire, with his legs and arm. Cotchery had just dropped the game winner. Still, either have Cam read option run or pass and you could've gotten 6 yards easily. But no, Rivera didn't want to take any risks, so he wanted Cam to check it down.

 

What a waste. 

 

That is where the game was lost. Period.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
