Cam had KB his first season?

No. Cam had Smitty/Olsen/Shockey. Kb came in either 14 or 15.

I kinda like how when you tune into other games the random whoevers actually do good but then we get the random whoevers and they are just actually random whoevers. fug off universe

Again.  Never said he was a bust but his arm is clearly a hinderance

What would you consider a top pick QB without a NFL arm?  Playing coy now is probably a good move anyway after an overreaction.

No but Smitty and Olsen would def be an entire sky scraper building higher than what we got now

Fitterer cut off his nose to spite his face, and he's gonna be a Consultant this time next year because of it. This team gutted most of its talent (the lone remaining piece is on his way out as well), and helped build the Chicago Bears into a perennial contender in the process.

Jeremy Shockey was here for Cam's first year as well.

I don't know that the Panthers are a top-31 team in terms of talent. Most of the good players were traded away, and their replacements are not very good. Coaching-wise, the calls were largely poor today, and the QB could've benefited from some wide receiver separation -- but looking at who he's throwing to, there just wasn't much. He missed some throws, as every rookie does, and he made some poor decisions. 

But by and large, my biggest gripes are with Reich's decision-making, and having to throw the ball away over and over because nobody's open. 

Why do you quote everything I post? You in love with me?

Cam had #89

Cam went to a Super Bowl with Ginn and Cotchery. 

We paid for a superstar. A superstar shouldn't need a perfect roster to shine.

The problems we saw today (going for it unnecessarily, making a horrible call while going for it unnecessarily, no WR separation, listless offense) are probably gonna be issues all year. 

Other than a couple bad reads and 2 missed throws, Young was fine for a rookie QB. He just has abysmal weapons around him and that impacts any player. If he had Steve Smith to throw to instead of Adam Thielen, that would help. Leaning on Jeremy Shockey and Greg Olsen would also make life easier, as would handing off to DeAngelo and Stewart.

Instead, he's surrounded by an OL that played better than expected, an abysmal offensive game plan, a free-agent Rb whose lone impact play was a lost fumble, and a room of one promising rookie and a slew of replacement-level WRs. 

Removing all that from consideration, the 2-minute give-up offense of running it on 2nd and 20 was ridiculous. Don't expect any comeback this year, because it appears there's no plan for that. 

 

That's a fair assessment of this game.  Hopefully we see some evolving on the coaching/scheme end as the season progresses.

Sadly, that happens when two play against each other. I have a feeling Atlanta's gonna lose a lot of games this season.

Not much else to say.

One of the worst performances not just in our franchise history, but one of the worst games I've seen from any NFL team ever. Defense looked alright at times, but even they had the benefit of playing maybe the worst QB in the league.

Jaycee Horn is already hurt again, and our only other really promising player is the one who our current GM is playing hardball with.

There are some okay players on this team but there is no one I'd categorize as elite. No one in the tier of Cam, Luke, Olsen, Davis type of players that we have had in the past. Even the players we have that are good the Ws/Ls don't seem to matter too much to them. None of these guys appear bothered to try.

Bryce was awful but in his defense I don't think we have a receiver capable of getting open down the field right now.

I responded to your post. Is that an issue?

Bengals pulled burrow. Man the NFL has become the NBA 

[Cam Lawter]

Hey, Burrow became the highest-paid QB and got benched with 88 yards against the Browns.
