Being Positively Blah

I'm going to pose a simple question: Pending a win tonight...can we make it through this entire season with Fox, Hurney, & Delhomme and still feel good about our team at the end?

I really think so.

I'm not currently a supporter of any of the three fellows I mentioned, but I am looking at our current situtation as this:

If our running game picks up soon, we are fully capable of going to the playoffs. Simple. And this is regardless of how Jake performs and as long as our defense can be mediocre. Look at the second half of last year. We had basically the same team and a similar situation. Jake had horrible horrible games against the likes of the Raiders and Buccaneers and our defense gave up a ridiculous amount of points yet we still managed to finish 12-4. I believe if Delhomme can drag on as last years self to the end of this year, we can still finish well...and we can still get rid of him (Along with Fox & Co.). He may have around 20 interceptions, 15-20 TDs and we may not in fact fall off the face of the earth. Our team will still have two awesome running backs, great linebackers, solid starting o-linemen, and good TEs at the end of this season. We have some to dispose of but we don't have to blow up our team to bits and start from square one even if we do get a new coach and QB. Teams like the Jets, Bears, and 49ers are showing me that we have the potential to get it going quicker than it seems.

I'm just trying to get a positive mindset thats not a homer and at the same time not a negative prick. When thinking this way: My expectations are still very low, but I still see playoff possibility. Basically, just stop freaking out people. :seeya:

So, let's start by beating the living crap out of the Cowgirls in an bit. Cheers.

    • I've already got $500 he throws for under 125. 
    • That and so many top tier WRs have had major injuries. 
    • uh..... no. I'm sure people will take this as me just pushing to draft T-Mac still, but it's not, we BADLY need a true outside #1 WR, whether it's my guy or someone else, it's a HUGE need, especially since we're not going to have an elite QB next year, we need to get the pass catching options to improve our QB play, no matter who that ends up being. I love the potential of XL and even Coker, but if you would take your Panthers fandom goggles off for a moment and look at it objectively, our two leading returning WRs for next season hav 284 and 263 yards through 10 games.   I don't care how good or bad the QB play is, that's a bottom 5 WR room in the NFL, if even that high.  Off the top of my head, the Browns, Patriots, and Raiders are the only teams with a worse WR situation going into next year as of right now (there could be others, but I haven't actually thought about it). XL's ceiling is likely as a lower end #1, but that would make him an elite #2.  I've likened him more as the Waddle/Higgins than the Tyreek/Chase (in terms of role as the Robin to Batman, not style of play) Coker, while we all think he can turn into something, is nowhere near good enough to go into next season as our #2 to XL's #1.  Realistically XL should be the #2 with Coker being the #3, and that still could be asking a lot from Coker at this point in his career. In today's NFL, you're not going to win many games with below average QB play and XL/Coker as your top two WRs, it's nowhere near good enough to be competitive over the course of a season.
