Interesting Little Blurb

Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers

How bad has the Panthers' offense been? Through two games, Carolina has amassed an Offensive Passing DVOA of -78.7%, which means that Carolina's quarterbacks and receivers have produced at an opponent-adjusted rate of almost 80 percent below league average. Before he was benched in favor of rookie Jimmy Clausen, quarterback Matt Moore had the league's worst DVOA among quarterbacks with at least 15 passing attempts through the first two games of the season. He managed two fumbles, four interceptions, and a 40.8% catch rate in 58 passes. Clausen probably won't be much better in an offense that has managed to be opponent-indifferent -- it almost doesn't matter who they're facing at this point.

It should surprise no one that Moore and the Panthers' offense is dead last, but 80% worse than league average?

Ugh.

If they weren't starting Jimmy this Sunday, I doubt more than 10,000 people would show up (and I'm pretty sure they knew that).

you know, when a team has a dip here and there I get that...

and this doesn't really pertain to the Panthers, yet...

but examples like Lions and Raiders (before this year, since they appear to be trying).. I don't know if that is such a good thing...

Fans do hold a little power.. if they show up even when the team is consistently losing year in and year out, there is nothing to say an owner won't just sit back and not be aggressive in doing whatever it takes to put a winning team on the field..

there is a romanticism about "being a real fan" and "showing up rain, shine, or sorry as fug".. I'm really questioning that logic...

There is...I believe in doing so for say my college team. But when it comes to professional sports I fully believe in sending a message to ownership as a fan. Carolina won't get a dime from this fan until they show they are serious about winning. Telling your coach to find a job and he can get out of his contract......or stay one last year and go through the motions of a season specically geared as prep for a lockout that may or may not come (one our particular owner will likely be in favor of) means we shouldn't pump money into Carolina.

I sincerely believe Detroit was always trying. There was just a Matt Millen in the way.

How any fans can even think of getting rid of the psls cause of a down year is beyond me. Talk to me about the cost, and the disappointment all you want to. If those are your reasons, then why'd you buy them in the first place? Don't answer that, I don't care to know.
