interesting little factoid

[teeray]

All 5 of our losses have been to Super Bowl winning QBs.

Gantt just tweeted this. I didn't even realize it.

Shouldn't make you feel any better/worse in my opinion, but interesting nonetheless.

I don't want to say it doesn't matter because it do. But good teams compete with them and beat those teams. The Carolina Panthers are far away from being a good team year in and year out. That's because bad coaching and lower tier talent at key positions.

So we still struggle against the great ones in the Ron Rivera era

there is no doubt we have played a tough schedule, but the problem is we are getting

blown out.

 

Our problems are much bigger than our schedule.

That probably would have made me feel better, if not for a certain context.

Rivera used to be known as one of the best in the league at shutting down great quarterbacks (he pretty much owned Peyton). It's one of the reasons he got the job coaching the Panthers.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore

I agree, Cpn. Morgan.  I still believe we have the potential to win the division but it will take all players focused and willing to do that.  It seems like some little something, year in and year out, to keep us from being the greatest.

Mr. Scot, do you think it is because Rivera is too soft?  I've often wondered if that is the case.

[TheRed]

I didn't realize that either.

 

Though under Rivera, we have made backups look like Super Bowl winning quarterbacks as well.

 

Brady Quinn starting for the Chiefs in 2012?

We just need a win, and badly. We need some confidence.

We have holes, but we shouldn't be getting blown out. I still believe this team, as constructed, can win games and make the playoffs.

We haven't had a "get right" game all season. There has been no "easy" games since week 1.

A little confidence can go a long way. We just need some wins, even if they are against weaker opponents.

Or the Cam era.

[Happy Panther]

Is that a factoid or a fact??

 

Either way...playoffs! Wait we lose to Brees again. That could hurt.

Rivera has always run a scheme that's heavily dependent on DL pressure, so not having Greg Hardy has to factor in, as do Johnson's struggles.

Hesitant to say it's just that, though.

I'll say this: There's a lot more involved in being a head coach than being a coordinator.

wow shot at Cam?

[Mr. Scot]

I didn't realize that either.

It's possible that Rivera does his best work against quarterbacks on whom there's a lot of tape but struggles against the lesser known.
