Who to blame for Panthers' last ranked D

Year 1 created a lot of hype for sure and I think rightfully so. Dave kept saying we are cap challenged and there will be growing pains but a lot of ppl didn't listen, myself included. Dave has never lied.

Could they have shaken things up a bit? Possibly signed some ps tackles, ps safeties, traded up in the draft? Maybe. It's all a crapshoot though. He has done fairly well in the draft and in two years he has signed some cheap talent that has played well.

Regarding cam, one year of poo shouldn't cloud your judgement on what he is trying to do for cam long term. It's cliche but you can blame hurney for that. This team needs an influx of talent. Hurney spent big money on positions that don't matter and overpayed on positions that do. I mean what is it 30% of our total cap is on players that aren't on the team anymore? Add in the rb money and you can see where were at financially and why some things were not options for us.

I don't believe a GM would come out and say yes he is the franchise, then strip away weapons and protections and then say welp he sucks not gonna pay him. That is borderline conspiracy theory.

We will see how this all plays out but I'm not gonna damn the man who inherited one of the worst cap situations in sports history and isn't trying to make it worse for the long term. I'll give him another year or two before I really decide because big decisions will be made this offseason. I think hardy is the ultimate reason we suck so bad. Everything was tied to the dline because of his first draft and hurney getting two baller DE's. Dave dodged a massive mistake by not signing him long term and just looking at him as a bridge.

I think you are being premature in saying he wants the Giants inconsistent model and a new qb

 

 

Bingo!!!!  You sumed the Panthers problems and situations up very throughly and nicely. Salute to you kind sir.

first, we arent the worst defense. after this week that will be obvious, even for the ones that just go to stat sheets.

 

the answer is pretty simple: turnover, injuries, short field positions, no breaks like last year, not forcing turnovers. the defense has had bad plays here and there, more so than bad games.

who are these players we should have signed and where is the money

 

 

 

I just started a thread giving some examples. Maybe check it out and play around with the list of 2014 free agents and their cap charges. It's titled "Spending $13.1 million" or something like that.

 

The point is, there were alternatives.

Take Kuechly, Davis, Norman, Short, bene and Star, hopefully bring Hardy back and it will turn around next year. I think with or without Hardy. Hardy did set the franchise record in sacks last year, so what happens with him could be pivotal. Everyone should be hungry this offseason/ next year. This crappy year could actually be gold for the franchise. We were not gonna win the super bowl anyways.
