*Depressing Post* This could be the start of a landslide.

Sometimes things happen, and franchises don't recover for a couple seasons.

When leaders shat the bed, and the team loses it's faith in them.

When icons, decide they would rather be somewhere else...

When 1st round picks, who finally get it right, leave for a big pay-day.

When the reality that the same ole poo just isn't going to ever work set's in.

I am as down right now as I have ever been on Panthers Football. Usually I can see the silver lining after any loss, but today, reading Peppers talking about leaving, knowing Gross is the best LT on the FA market this year, wondering how I can ever have faith in #17 and the coaching staff again.

and to make things worse ... we have no first round pick and our first pick will be 60 something, barring a trade. Which means our top draft pick will probably be a backup and a special teams guy. Combine that with the potential of some of our free agents leaving ... next year could be scary.

We will be ok. We still had a successful season. I know the plan was to win this year but we still have alot to look foward to. Only 2 teams make it to the bowl and you don't always win. I know i sound like fox right now but alot of it is true. We just need a spark on this team, something to jolt us. A qb change might it do it, a new DC might do it.

Talent is there in the second round.

Right now the fuging draft is the least of our problems.

This season was the straw that broke the camel's back. The coaching staff and organization poured all their hope into this year after bombing the past 3 and it paid off with a division title. But I think the success of this year will cost us for years to come because we're gonna end up keeping John Fox a year or two longer than we should, and IMO we've kept Delhomme longer than we should (without even attempting to address the future without him). These 2 blunders by management are gonna end up costing them several losing seasons in a row. I see us at 6-10 next year.

    • 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.
