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...

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • 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.
