Why even give Jonathan Stewart carries last night? Why give Sutton carries? Has nobody on this freakin staff ever heard of going with the hot hand? We have arguably the best running back in the league on our team and we pass the ball to him once and only let him run the ball 13 times.

We drop back to pass and leave him in to block on 3rd downs? Give me a freaking break...a running back isn't going to make up for the fact that we don't have Jordan Gross. This staff was very ill-prepared for the loss of Gross and how the play-calling should work. This game just sent me over the edge...I wish that Richardson would pull a Ralph Wilson and just go ahead and fire Fox right now. People around the league have enough respect for Richardson not to question any decision he makes at this point. We have a team FULL of playmakers and we are going to be lucky to go 8-8 or 7-9.

I have no real problem with giving Stewart some carries but Williams needs to be in on key downs. Stewart just doesn't have the vision Williams does. Stewart gets stuffed on plays williams would have broken away from. Stewart is still a good back but over the season I just don't trust him to get the 1st down as consistantly as Williams.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
