Carolina Panthers- Heed the lesson of the Tennessee Titans

Let me just start off by saying WE HAVE THE SAME RECORD at 4-6. The Titans started out 0-6, we started 0-3. Tennessee is 4-0 in their last 4 games, Panthers 2-2. Titans pulled their starting QB after a horrendous start, and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Panthers are beginning to fizzle into oblivion. I don't think anyone would question that the Titans will finish with a better record than the Panthers at this point. It's just sad we're stuck with one of the worst QB's in the league and other teams can recognize their problems and solve them. They also benefited from having Vince Young though...a player that had lead the team to the playoffs before.

All I'm saying is - you can either leave your old struggling veteran QB the starter and take your chances, or hand the reigns over to the young guy on the bench. At 4-6, there aren't many other options to try and kickstart the team. The effort against Miami was subpar, and an article was even written about how the team didn't seem to care about the loss.

I think more than just for performance purposes, a change at QB might give the team the energy they need to gain that killer instinct, something the Panthers have lacked all season. If the team sees Delhomme get benched, a guy who has had more job security than anyone on the team, players might start to think "my job is on the line" and play their hearts out, instead of just playing for that paycheck.

I actually agree with you, despite my tongue-in-cheek comment above. We might get to see Moore out there, but I have a feeling it will be after we're statistically eliminated from the playoffs.

If you look at the Dolphins they have a similar situation. They would have never put Chad Henne in at QB. He looked bad in the preseason and in practice. Now that Pennington is hurt they had no choice, but I am sure, by now, they are not too upset that Pennington went down. The change at QB has made the team better. He is not great and will not be the next Dan Marino, but he is winning, something that Pennington could not do this year. This is just another example of you never know what you got till you try it out. I know it will not happen, but I am a Gamecock fan. So I am used to saying there is always next year.

Give us Vince Young, then we can talk. Otherwise, point invalid

the point here is that john fox will never bench jake..other qb's on our team will never get a chance..and for that reason we are not a successful nfl team due to poor coaching and management..

other nfl teams realize weaknesses and make the proper changes..i just wish the panthers coaches and management could do the same..:mad:

Not a great example. Titans hit a rock bottom that we have yet to achieve in years. They went 0-6 with a historically horrendous loss agianst the Patriots.

They had a top 5 draft qb in Young who was loaded with talent and potential and who already started an entire season in which he took his team to the playoffs.

Im pretty cofident that under simular circumstances Fox wouldve done the same.

      Carolina may not "be sold" on young (per athletic)

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      We have some divisional games and also Dallas, who may have a worse QB situation. We are also considerably higher in SOS so we lose most tie breakers. Even if Bryce started stinking it up, we would likely just switch back to Dalton. I agree on most of this but Arizona is a REALLY bad matchup for us. A bruising running game and very mobile QB. That is perfectly made to march all over our defense. This is one of the tighest races for the bottom I have seen in a while.

      Um….the Jets have almost an identical history to the Panthers. In fact no other team comes close, except maybe the Jaguars. The main difference is they lose the championship game to go to a second SB while the Panthers won’t but then lost the Super Bowl… But W/L are closer than any other franchise etc.  If we want to talk king of the shitpile since 1995, I’d look at Lions or Browns or Raiders but the Panthers are so close to them in a lot of ways with the track record of the past six years you’d really be arguing semantics at that point all things considered. I would consider the Panthers to have a near bad existence headed to bad existence. It’s just comical franchises mentioned awful are literally the closest team comparatively speaking to the Panthers lol Some of you really think this team was better than it actually was…never back to back winning seasons, one of the worst W/L teams since 1995 (bottom 5 I believe), …all due the Tepper effect. We suck so bad we remember slightly below average as glory days lol

      This 2025 class has some good bones in the mid rounds but it’s one of the worst top of classes I’ve seen in history. It gives me some 2013 vibes. McMillan and Graham are solid 1sts but man, these others being floated as top-10… I don’t think they’d go until the late teens/beyond if they were in the last few drafts. I.E I'm not taking these guys like Scourton or Mykel over Verse or Latu.  Last year's OTs and WRs would all be going ahead of the majority of this class.  Throw Bowers in this class, dare I'd say he'd be 1 on the big board.
