No it’s both or 50/50 bullshit. I just want to see where the majority of our fans stand with the current state of the Panthers and our struggles this season.

I personally feel coaching has been a much bigger issue across the board. Talent wise I would argue we are stronger at almost every position compared to last year. (Norwell and Williams being the major exceptions)

I’m at like 65% coaching and 35% players so I don’t really know how to vote.

I think our DL has been absolute ass so that’s on the players but I think Washington could and should blitz more.

I think our offensive play calling and particularly the personnel decisions could be much better but the execution there has also been lacking.

    First, I don't appreciate you asking for my opinion. Then telling me there are limitations. Not cool dude.

 

    Second. And I don't want to take no poo for this but...I think it is a bit of both. With a sprinkle of WTH thrown in. 

 

    We were 3-1, then a WTH game happens. A perfect "Peanut Punch", Cam under throws Funch, Smith's fumble/completed pass, and Moore trying to do too much. That is 4 WTHs that went against us. Who knows what happens if we get 2 of those. But alas, no such luck.

 

    Some Coaching moves, player mistakes, and lady luck kinda peeing in our Corn Flakes have lead us to this point. 

 

    Short story long; 35% Coaching. 55% Players. 10% Lady Luck.

how can you give a poll with two options then tell us its a third option?

I think I made it pretty clear. Like someone posted before, if you think it is 65% coaching and 35% players, than your answer would be coaching as 65 > 35. It is pretty simple.

There is no right or wrong answer. Just trying to gauge where the majority stands.

They are all professionals--it is the players' jobs to be ready, and it is the coaches' jobs to get them ready and manage the game. 

The coach must ultimately assume the responsibility, even if we spot the opposition 10 points off 2  unforeseeable turnovers and lose by 6.

The presser disappointed me because RR started making excuses--turnover at coordinators, weather (need a dome for practice), bad luck, etc.  Even if all are true, you don't do that.  Take the blame and move on--you are getting it anyway.

The answer might not fit your narrative.

You also forgot to offer up that the opposing team is doing everything it can to win the game as well.

We were in both losses until the very last moments of those games. The same could be said for the wins, as well. 

The team isn't working flawlessly and there have been coaching issues and player issues. There have also been moments where luck just hasn't gone our way. And then there have been moments where the opposing teams are just playing lights out.

It happens in real life. 

Good teams bear down, work harder and don't give up. Good fans keep cheering. This season is far from over.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
