Oh, How Things Have Changed.

I usually do not post things like this, but wanted to share.  I was on Facebook today, and looking at the "on this day" app when I noticed a post I made 2 years ago today.  The post read:

It has been 4 years, 9 months, and 26 days since the Panthers have had a winning record. This could all change on Thursday! For the first time in my son's life, the Panthers might be over 500!!!!!!!

After that Thursday, the Panthers would go on to win 9 of their next 10 games, and make the playoffs.  The following season, they would again return to the playoffs.  This year, we are 5-0.  Not to mention, the Panthers have the longest active win streak in the NFL.

We have put together a great system here in Carolina.  Gettleman-Rivera-McDermott, hell, even Shula. So excited about the direction this team is going.

People here underestimate the power of continuity and to a lesser extent, program culture.

 

I never felt under Fox that we had a strong program culture starting from the staff and making their way down. 

 

Rivera, Richardson, and now Gettleman; they've been trying to instill a culture for a few years now, and it's starting to pay dividends.  All the best football clubs have longstanding cultures that outlast the careers of players, and I finally feel like we're starting to establish that here.

hoping we can put together back to back winning seasons next year

 

achieving franchise milestones one season a time

Have to have a winning 2015 first, but the team is well on their way to checking that box.

I'd flip those, as continuity of mediocrity will only yield more mediocrity. Gotta get the right program in place first, then carry it from year to year.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
