(By Tom Sorensen, [email protected]) EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It looked too much like last season. Jake Delhomme opened 2009 by throwing four interceptions against Philadelphia. p/His replacement at quarterback, Matt Moore, opened 2010 Sunday by throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble against the New York Giants Here's what was evident, yet again: When the Carolina Panthers play their football, they're fine. They hand off. They grind out first downs. Occasionally DeAngelo Williams breaks a long run. Sometimes they pass to Steve Smith or a tight end. They did this in the first half against the New York Giants Sunday and it worked well enough that, going into the third quarter, they held a 16-14 lead.

I didn't read any of that, but if there's one thing we don't lack-it's playmakers.

What we do lack however, is creative coaching.

The fact that the announcers were sitting there telling us today whether each play was going to be pass or run, was embarassing.

Agreed,

We have plenty of talent on this team, the problem is the coaching staff starting with Fox.

Bland, Boring, No Creativity, Predictable, and Repetitive play calling is what the truth is.

We lack a playcaller.

typical observer putting all the blame where it doesn't belong. Carolina either had the lead or trailed by only a single score up until the 4th quarter. With this roster you play a certain brand of football. Asking Moore to be Peyton Manning is poor coaching/playcalling.....not a lack of playmakers.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
