Law of averages?

since when has the football media ever honored anything "average"?

there's a reason people seldom use this logic outside of pantherland and it's because it's a lousy way to try and slip the Panthers 2002-present in a discussion of the most elite teams, when they're really not.

I don't care to compare the 2003 steelers with the 2002, 2004, or 2007 panthers because the biggest thing both teams had in common for whichever 7-9 year you choose was the fact that they weren't playing in January.

What good is the season if it ain't a SB win?

and this is in reference to exactly what...

the media isn't going to respect the panthers more just because their losing seasons are among the "best" losing seasons.

when you get into consistency of a team, trying to decipher 7-9s from 5-11s and 6-10s is pretty much splitting atoms.

Also it took Cowher 7 seasons of prior coaching before he fielded a 6-10 football team, yet that was only after achieving a playoff berth in each of his first 6 seasons while going 7-9 after.

Give Fox enough seasons and we'll see him go 6-10 or less, and not because he's bad, only because it's pretty much happened to every other coach, even Coughlin, even Belichick (though early on in his career)

My post was about Gman's post where he listed "elite" franchises that I view as currently less than elite. Even the national media isn't pimping the Packers and Skins as being "elite" in their current situations. My point was that past success ≠ current "elite" designation. His perceptions are skewed due to an obvious dislike for Fox and Delhomme. Are they great? Probably never will be considered so, but they're what we got. Gman seems to be hoping for failure so they are replaced rather than supporting the team as a fan truly desiring success should. Gman is no fan of the Panthers.

49ers elite? Rams? Eagles? Phins? It seems as though you're putting more focus on past accomplishments than current product. There is a difference between "elite" and "pimped" as far as the media goes.

As long as we continue to put players in there who put the team first, and don't run their mouths and draw attention to themselves, we aren't going to get any respect.

I'll take that.

The media generally doesn't know what they're talking about anyways, espn and all it's wisdom had us as one if the worst teams in the league last year, while everyone here had the feeling we would be a good team.

The media just likes to spread their cheeks open for the me-first players and teams.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
