Panthers at competitive disadvantage due to virus?

[mc52beast]

Heard the guys on WFMZ talking about it this morning, have to say that any team with a new HC and staff will be behind the rest of the League. How much do you guys think this will effect us?

Any team with new coaches and/or FO is already arguably 'behind the rest of the league'. Maybe the situation exacerbates that and maybe it doesn't, but either way it's a non-story IMO.

Agreed. Our disadvantages were going to exist regardless of this outbreak. We aren't at any more of a disadvantage than anyone else in the league.

If anything, we are probably at less of a  disadvantage with the start of free agency since we aren't likely to be very active.

If so, good, another step closer to Lawrence.

Everything is a story on sports radio or TV when there is no sports going on

Overblown, overhyped sports radio.  Rhule's unique disadvantages have nothing to do with coronavirus.

I wouldn't call Hurney a virus

[top dawg]

In what sense?

I would think that because we do have a new staff that more time may be a great thing!

This corona virus is going to trash our chances at a Superb owl this year!

Back when I played golf, the group I was usually part of had a rule that if an excuse was going to be lodged, it had to be lodged before the ball was struck.

We have lodged our excuse!

[Mr. Scot]

Was anybody seriously expecting great things out of this season anyway?

If you were, I'm not so sure you were paying attention.

Let's also remember that Ron Rivera was just hired as our HC during the lockout and we just drafted Cam. It didn't really affect us much, we still were a bad team.

Yep.

I even hope Brady signs with TB on a 1 year deal so we can chalk up 2 losses to TB.
