so why the hell did he get 11 carries? why wasn't he more involved in the offense. the play calling was not creative, we finally got a few calls to pass to the running back after the game was already out of hand. i just cannot understand why these things happen. im tired of watching this team piss away changes to win over BS. it makes no sense. anyone see Dante Rosario in the second half?

the panthers abandon anything that works, you know....like running with the second best back in the league or blitzing romo with a LB!!! not a safety or throwing to your TE who just scored!!!.....its sucks to say but every loss is getting easier to stomach, I was nearly in tears after the eagles game, now its really no big deal, why should we care if the team doesn't...

That is definately true, but Dallas ran draw plays all night... What was dissappointing was that simple fact that DeAngelo or Stewart can't get a rythym or feel for the game. I don't know if I've ever seen DeAngelo, since he's been in the NFL, run the ball 3 times in a row. The play prior to Jake's 2nd interception DeAngelo ran for 11 yards. They promptly threw the next play. They forgot who is their quarterback in this game. His performance against the Falcons and 1st half tonight gave the coaching staff a false sense of security. They were only down 6 at the time, and they didn't need to throw the ball. They could have atleast tried to feature DeAngelo. When it comes down to it, Carolina is predictable. You can tell by their formation when they are going to run. They only ran one play on the perimeter(a sweep). They tried to pound Dallas up the middle all night. There was no misdirection run plays or anything creative. It is kind of sad really. They are absolutely wasting DeAngelo's talent. No screens or anything.

And poor Jonathan Stewart only had 3 carries, because Jake couldn't convert 3rd downs and extend drives. He has poor pocket awareness and pocket mobility. You can say Steve Smith broke off the route, but Jake was predetermined with his throw. He is part of the problem. Period... The other part is the coaching staff, and John Fox dinosour beliefs. The Giants want to run the ball, but they are dynamic in the passing game. The Panthers will never be dynamic because Jake has poor everything: Footwork, pocket awareness, field awareness, mobility, decision making, hell you name it.

For all of you saying it wasn't his fault tonight, you are missing the big picture. He can't win games for you. When turnovers happen and you have to throw the ball to stay in the game, he isn't the trigger man to do it. It is easy to just try and run the ball and hide your quarterback, but you need a guy to make plays in the pocket when things aren't perfect. You need a guy who doesn't fumble everytime he takes a blind side sack. You need a guy who can make plays from the pocket in the face of a blitz. Everything has to be perfect for Jake to succeed. Pass protection, running game, etc., so you can hide his flaws. You can't coach that way in this league. You need a dependable leader as a quaterback and Jake Delhomme isn't it. It's been time for him to go, but it is too late now. I think Fox has lost the majority of the team anyway.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.

      Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year

      Brian Burns Revenge Game

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.
