  If he won 5 games but his teams were improving then we could build on something

The defense did improve, from a unit that couldn't force a punt, to second in yards allowed.  The O took a step back because we whiffed at QB, we traded away our best receiving TE and injuries on the OL.

That second in yards allowed stat means nothing to people who know what they're watching.

Are you saying there was no improvement 2020 to 2021 on D?

Know how I know you didn't watch the games?

The defense last season was good for about three games, got exposed and then looked like dog sh-t for the rest of the year.

Well, using your logic, it should suck this year.  We haven't added many pieces.

They added a good DT, some defensive backs and a couple of linebackers.

Also acquired a very good secondary coach and a defensive line coach who probably should have retired about 10 to 15 years ago.

The coordinator is still a college guy whose schemes got easily figured out last year and he wasn't able to adjust.

Improved? There's a chance but it's definitely not guaranteed.

So are we going to talk about the Sizzle alt or are we just going to keep using it as a time wasting punching-bag for jokes?

Are you talking about the Ivy League Doctorate, Valedictorian, Commercial Lawyer, best friend of Tepper that spends his nights arguing on the Huddle about how great Tepper is?  He seems legit...

Don't forget that his dad plays golf with Pat McCrory, and doesn't let having passed away nine years ago slow him down 😐

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
