First off 12-4 is a false indicator of this team. Several games (see first Arizona game for example) we lucked out and came back to win. Games like the Saints we almost allowed them to come back and win it.

the problem with this team is a lack of consistency and too much predictability. Jake Delhomme is the walking definition of inconsistency. The whole team is. From week to week we don’t know what team will show up.

Predictability. Arizona looked like it was in our huddle. Hell even Fitzgerald said they could tell what we were going to do and Fox wasn’t going to change it. You just can’t play games like that.

It is time for some coaching changes. Fox needs to change his philosophy of not being willing to make adjustments on the fly, and our DC needs to be shown the door. We have ran this soft Cover 2 crap for long enough. Get someone in here that can take max advantage of what talent we have. Get someone in here that will do like some other teams like Baltimore, Philly, NYG etc that will bring the heat.

As for as Jake Delhomme…I think it’s time to give Moore a good long look. The kid has paid his dues, was trained by one of the best in College. It is time to give the kid a shot.

Lastly, Peppers isn’t worth the money. Franchise him, get a first rounder and more and let’s move on. Look for DL help in Free agency and draft well.

.

A record cannot be a false indicator of our season. A win is a win, no matter how you get it. The stomping we gave to the Bucs counts just as much as our last second heart-attack win against New Orleans. If a win doesn't count when you "luck out," then does our loss against NYG not count because they lucked out?

Well said. Except for Moore, you hit the nail right on the head. He has yet to prove himself in my mind---I think a good portion of Panther fans would agree.

Seems like a consensus on anything is a rare commodity round' these parts. Flamers---flame on!

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      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.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.
