The Blame Game (Gantt)

Recommended Posts

Delhomme played a great game.

Moose and Smitty should be ashamed of themselves, and quite frankly they both seem to be well past their prime.

I can't agree 100% with this. Sure, Smith may have broke off a route that contributed to an INT, but that long pass to Moose (that was INTd by Mike Jenkins in the 1st half) was ill-advised and absolutely killed our momentum we had on that drive. Williams had just picked up a 1st down on a 3rd and long. WTH did Delhomme need to throw a downfield pass to a WR that has never been known as a downfield threat? Why didn't we just keep running the football, or at least mixing the run and pass more effectively? I can never understand why we keep trying these same 'ol crap plays when they never work to begin with.

And no 1st downs in almost two whole quarters is downright pathetic. I KNEW Fox was going to sit on that one score lead when we started the 2nd half. When is enough enough? /rant

Its really easy to say "its on me" when you know there aren't going to be any consequences. If I was Richardson I would tell John Fox if he has one more game "on him" then he is fired. See how much he says after the next loss...

Ding Ding, now we have the root of the problem. We have a QB who's not playing well, but a consevative coach who won't do anything about it. We have a staff that's not coaching well, but a conservative owner who won't do anything about it. No accountability is why this trainwreck keeps on keepin on.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
