Adam Schein’s pretenders/contenders list surprisingly has us as contenders.

Jesus, he actually said that?

Typed it out loud instead of keeping it in his head hole.

This was nothing more than a cheap shot at cam. Had nothing to do with the Panthers.

That’s an awful take. Even if you don’t like Cam, it’s just not accurate.

Literally the only thing that keeps me clinging to the contender status hope is the possibility of Cam coming back. 

Literally the only thing that Adam Shite is doing here is putting the Panther's on his special list because Cam is not the current QB of the Carolina Panthers.

Same record?  Same list?  Same performance?  All with Cam Newton as the QB?  How quick do you think it would take for this shite-stain to put Carolina on his precious "pretenders" list?

This is what he said.

5) Carolina Panthers (4-3)

The NFC is unreal. Just looking at the 49ers, Packers, Saints, Seahawks, Vikings, Cowboys and Rams, that's seven teams vying for six playoff spots. And Carolina can be in that mix, too, if they keep Kyle Allen at quarterback. Don't downgrade him because of the 51-13 beatdown at the hands of the Niners. San Francisco, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, is that amazing. But at this point, Christian McCaffrey makes a compelling case for Offensive Player of the Year. The do-it-all playmaker is an absolute nightmare to defend. While I am always concerned about Ron Rivera holding the team back, Allen has been a breath of fresh air as a leader and steady thrower.

Honestly, I think the Panthers are right on the borderline here, which is why I have them listed last among contenders. If Carolina goes back to Cam, they could definitely spiral down into the pretenders.

 

So basically, he is safe to completely ignore.  And yes, this was after the 49ers game.

I have to agree with him. Allen is the future but we need to build a line around him. I disagree about Cam though. His scrambling ability is what we need.

Agree with him about ALlen?

All he said about Allen is that he is a "breath of fresh air as a leader and steady thrower".  

Allen *might* be the future.  But he definitely is not the present.  And that is what he is saying.

are you always miserable? i've never seen you post a single postive thing about the team

I’m not at all miserable, just realistic.  This team isn’t very good unless it plays below average teams.

Just saying, some of Ron’s postseason teams have given up 40 burgers.  Multiple ones in a playoff bound season. Poo happens. 

As for right now, through 7 games.  The 49ers game simply is what it is.  You can’t judge a team based off one game.  Good or bad. 

It is like the Gamecocks beating UGA.   UNC almost beating Clemson.  You those are just one time events.  They happen in football.  You see it on every level. 

 

I'm not judging based off 1 game, I'm judging based off lack of consistancy through Ron's tenure. The fact is that our team consistently shows flashes of being dominant and flashes of being mediocre. We ride in the middle of the league and I believe that we deserve a coaching staff that can put and keepis in the hunt year after year. We're to comfortable with the things we do well and the top players on the team that we make excuses when we fall short. I blame the FO and coaching staff. The organization is not built for success from the top, as of yet. Employees follow their leadership. I love MY TEAM, but sometimes the truth hurts.

Daley was on the bench until both Little and Williams went down with injury.

Daley is a 6th round draft pick.

Daley played well above his expectations once in a game.  This isn't a "ron teams" thing.  To start this season if we had a 6th round draft pick starting on our line, these forums would have freaked out.  While I have issues with some of RR's decisions..this is not one of them.  This is just a case of "whatever RR does, its wrong".  

Im pretty sure that RR doesn't skim through the Huddle before making player decisions and this isn't whatever RR does is wrong. 1st round, 7th or undrafted, you put the best player on the field. Given, the best player should be an early rounder. During practice you should be evaluating every player, not just focusing on draft picks. There best player on the team at any position should be your starter. A starter should boot be starting just because he's a veteran or high draft pick or because you threw money at him.

And sometimes, players dont step up and show themselves to be the best player until they get on the field.

That basically describes every NFL team excluding the Patriots though.  

Well, except the Browns and Dolphins and the few that consistently never show the hope 

[Peppers90 NC]

Schein... Schein. With a name like Schein, does he football much?

[Bunskie]

I'm pretty sure we were on this guy's pretender list the season we went 15-1... I'll leave it at that.

Or coaching staff is simple in their approach with limited innovation. How many good teams run their offense through one player? We aren't losing because of our players, we're losing because of our coaches and FO. We had two weeks to prepare for 49'ers, they had 1 and they wiped us up. That's called preparation, something Rons team lack.
