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!

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      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

      By Ghostofdelhomme · Posted

      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.
