I see DeAngelo and Stewart bust 10-yard runs...

...and I wonder why the Panthers keep getting away from that. It really boggles the mind. You have three solid running backs. If you wanted to, you could run all game long on people. Why do the Panthers put the ball in Jake's hands? Is it to justify the big contract they gave him?

and their decision to keep starting him + their confidence in him.

Yep and from what I can tell there's no such thing as a "one-dimensional" team, because without a passing AND running attack it's way too easy to take away that one dimension.

So basically, the Panthers are a no-dimensional team. I just realized how much that sucks!

They had no problem running the ball last year, and I still see Double Trouble breaking off big run after big run this year. And I've seen Jake take what the defense gives him. But then the Panthers abandon that, just like they did with the 7-0 lead over Arizona in the playoffs.

You cannot run the ball successfully when teams cram the box and dare you to throw. Until we develop a consistent passing game, the running game will suffer greatly.

The Jets did against Buffalo. We could have easily done it. Their offense wasn't going to do anything, if we grinded it out all game, by the end we would have rolled over them. But no. We passed 44 times.

The consistent passing game should be short dump offs to the RBs and the WRs doing hitch routes 5 yards beyond the LOS. Jake can't throw it accurately longer than 5 yards...its the sad reality.

Because Jake throws pick after pick and then we get behind and are forced to throw. In turn, he throws more picks.

That is the post of the year. Agree.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Sports are a different animal. It's gladiator poo. You wouldn't go out and put the uniform on of the best burger maker in your neighborhood either. So, when we watch these athletes being amazing and giving their all, it is for more than just a check. The guys that are truly driven and love these games, they are doing it for many more reasons than the money. Boiling it down to a simple transactional thing is simplistic, at best. So, yeah, I can understand how Cam can feel jilted when other great Panthers are trotted out and honored by the organization and he isn't. Especially considering he is overwhelmingly the best QB to have ever played for us and literally put this franchise into the national spotlight because of the player he was, the things he accomplished and the personality that he is. So....yeah, I would be upset about that too if I were in his shoes. The money, that the business side. That other poo, that's personal.

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      We have different people in place to do that now, but people don't seem to recognize that. I don't much care where they come from but this taking the third best QB top five in the draft over valuation because of the position, yeah we don't need to participate in that.  I build up an imaginary scenario where we can trade out of that position not too far back and get the defensive stud we want while having ammo to trade back into the late 1st if a QB falls. That we want.

      The Panthers really shouldn't be planning to bring back Dalton for a starting salary. It would 100% be a desparation move by the front office. He's only good for 3-5 games at a time. Same with Theilen. He shouldn't factor in the Panthers' plans going forward. If anything, do him a solid and trade him in the off season - if he's still on contract.
