In the begining of the season if you would rather go 12-4 and lose in the divisional round of the playoff's

OR-

Have a qb who threw over 5,000 yards but not make the Playoff's, what would you say.

There are a LOT of teams with great QB's who didnt make it this far.

Payton Manning is sitting at home, and after today only 4 teams will still be playin football.

Its just the way poo goes in the NFL.

Better luck next season.

This one has been fun to watch.

Hi AK, with all respect, that really isn't the point.

Of course, 12-4, making the playoffs, all good.

Throwing for 5000 yards, sure, that's nice.

....but, again, in football, two things are key, the QB and the defense.

I have been a huge supporter of Delhomme's, I've tried to be; but, in all honesty, top flight QBs do not throw 5 interceptions, have a fumble, consistently force the ball when its not there.

If people are 'satisfied' with just getting there, that's fine.

I'm not.

The Panthers have had numerous opportunities to draft a QB with a decent arm and they have not done so and they will pay now and for several years in the future.

I'd be happy with the QB the Ravens have...one who was available for the Panthers too by the way, as was Brady Quinn.

Manage the game, don't lose the game.

That's just me.

Again, I have loved Jake Delhomme; but, its time now, to get a blue chip.

Kurt Warner, and Delhomme, are the exceptions not the rule.

thats not the point-

the point is there are 28 teams sitting at home this week comming up--

quit crying like babys.

It will get better-- GOD knows it could have been worse, so have some respect for a decent season.

You summed up what I have been saying for a long time. It is a waste of time saying it because john Fox says rookie QBs are a waste. Just look how wasted Atlanta and Baltimore have been this season. Perhaps Fox would think higher of a rookie QB if he had one picked higher than the last round or that went undrafted.

Yeah, who wants the hassle of a Super Bowl trophy? Just have to buy a cabinet for it.

If I told you 2 weeks ago that we'd make the playoffs with a dominant pair of running backs, but we'd piss it away in the playoffs by having an inept QB throw 5 INTs and fumble the ball on the other teams 13 yd line, against a team known for passing the ball, so we were gonna play a weak ass zone that allowed the 1 weapon they have to catch the ball anywhere he felt like, would you keep sucking down that Kool-Aid?

This season was a failure. People that are into moral victories after last night are losers.

We're not the Bengals or Lions, we're the Panthers and we were the favorites to win the Super Bowl coming into the playoffs (if you didn't count the Giants at least).

Having the team we had and ending it the way it did made this season a complete failure. Sorry. You can say that Drew Brees didn't win a playoff game so we should be thankful, but we won the same amount of playoff games this year that the Lions did. Zero.

Oh so we aren't allowed to be pissed that we got stomped at home due to six turnovers by one player?

Not the point... the team still had a great season.

We went 12 and 4 and got a home playoff game... it was exciting and fun to watch... a lot of teams and their fans didnt have that opportunity...

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
