THE UNDERRATED PANTHERS

The Panther hatred in the media is something that I have been trying to figure out. Like the media doesn't hate the Jaguars. They don't hate other small market southern teams. When the Jags were good they were picked in the media many times to beat the Colts with Payton Manning in his prime. The media gushed over the Jags. Even now when we played the Jags, who have not had a good team since since George W Bush was in office, were picked by many experts to beat the Panthers. It's not a small market southern team issue.

A member of NFL.com's staff outright called our entire franchise "lousy" right before the start of this season, and said we would have a "lousy season". What did he say about the Jags in the same episode? He said they had a really good WR, and that they were getting better.

I want to point out how the media deals with the Panthers when we're winning. They pump up Cam Newton, and take as big of a dump as they possibly can on our franchise and team. Love Cam, but can't stand the Panthers. Cam should be MVP, but the Panthers team is garbage. fug the 4-0 Panthers, oh but we love Cam. The Panthers are the worst 4-0 team in the NFL, but Cam is wonderful. That's when we're winning. fug me. Now when we're losing the gloves come off. Now we're expected to lose every game no matter the opponent, and our losses are Panther related, not Cam related. We lose, the Panthers are the losers, we win, Cam is the winner, but the Panthers are still hot garbage. And that's if they even talk about our team at all. Now some people are pointing out that a few sports writers are bucking the trend and saying nice things about our team. Great. Why? One way to draw attention to your sports articles is simply by saying something different from the rest of the crowd. So out of self interest these few sports writers are going the unique route with their Panther articles. The trend is to trash our team, and disrespect all of our players and coaches except Cam Newton. Why? I've been thinking about it and I can't figure it out. What did the Panthers do that was so wrong?
 

 

1. You're just now noticing that the media tends to give QBs sole credit for team wins?

2. If you haven't noticed that Cam seems to get sole blame for team losses over the past 4 years, I'd like some of the drugs you're taking please.

 Do you read Panther related sports articles? True/False:

What is the narrative when we are losing? Multiple choice question:

A.) Cam is a bad QB and he is the sole reason they are losing.

B.) The Panthers have not given Cam the weapons he needs to succeed.

I can't make it any easier for you to understand how you're wrong. If you disagree at this point then I'm done.

First of all the run games includes everyone. It includes wide receiver reverses it counts quarterback runs and traditional tailback and fullback runs as well. Several of Cams big runs were on designed runs, if you include them then you include the broken plays as well. We run the read option folks. Cam is not a QB on those plays as he never throws the ball. He runs it so he is runner pure and simple.

Taking him out as a runner when that is a big part of his game is like deducting passing yards thrown on screens or dumpoffs to running backs because they aren't traditional receivers.

it really doesnt matter who you play. good teams win, average and bad teams dont. atlanta is for real

Let me tell you this just like I told people two weeks aago.  ATL is a pretender just like the Cardinals. They have a new coach and aa new scheme so they are starting fast, beating bad teams that can't game plan. The true test for them will be NO. While NO is no where a great team they are not terrible. They beat a Dallas team that was supposed to destroy them.  If ATL blows them out of the water then watch out,  if not they are going to fizzle in December.

I'll bet we're #1 at rushing against 8 and 9 in the box, too. that's going to hurt our yards/carry.

i just read an article that proclaimed that part of the reason our "no name" (their words, not mine) receivers were having the success that they were is because other teams are loading the box against the run. I don't have stats to back that theory up, but it is consistent with what I've noticed in the games.
