The Blame Game (Gantt)

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.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
