Am I the only one who thinks yesterday’s loss could be a good thing?

The media is going to be calling us trash all week and are going to completely dismiss us from beating the Saints. This belittlement is only going to motivate Cam and everyone knows he plays best when he’s pissed off. 

If we had steam rolled the Falcons everyone would be praising us and our team would have no animosity to fuel from.

Also, I really don’t think the fact we have to play in New Orleans is going to have much of an effect on the outcome of this game. We have a 24-22 record all time vs the Saints with a 12-11 record both Home and Away.

This team is the epitome of being Jekyll or Hyde. We could beat anybody at any given time but we could also just as easily lose to anyone.

Two of our five losses were basically us beating ourselves. The Bears and the Falcons (yesterday) were cases where we just came out and made fools of ourselves on offense. Cam had lousy days and everyone collapsed around him (except for the defenses both times).

The other three (Saints, Eagles, Saints) were against top tier teams and we were toe-to-toe with the Eagles until the very end.

I hope this embarassing outing will get them knocked back on track, because you are right, we can beat just about anyone. Now it's time to do just that.

The poor showing against TB was supposed to be the wake up call and a good thing... Another terrible loss with bad momentum going into the playoffs AND blowing the chance at the division and a home game to kick it off is not a good thing... We are by no means out of it and I'm sure we won't roll over against the Aints -- it'll be competitive -- but yesterday gave us some serious cause for concern.

The Saints are very good but let's not forget they just lost to the Bucs with playoff positioning on the line similarly to how we lost to Atlanta.

This is going to be a serious grudge match. But only if our run game shows up. Otherwise expect more of the same, and Cam Newton taking all the blame.

There is literally nothing good about having to play the Saints on the road next week instead of the Falcons at home.

A demon is on one shoulder and an angel is on the other.  I don't know which is which. 

Both good points though.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
