Cold Hard Truths About This Team and the State of The Panthers...

[MGH1989]

1. Stating the Obvious, but Mcdermont needs to be fired at the end of the year, if not before. Eli Manning was playing 7-7 out there. Whats the point if you are going to give the receivers such a big cushion? I would rather our corners be physical at the LOS and get torched than have them play of 10 yards and get eaten alive all night. Letting a running back who no one outside the NC State fan base ever heard before a weeks ago shred you is a disgrace.

2. Jon Beason needs to come off the field on passing downs. Another reason why Mcdermont sucks, he find a way to get Kuechly on the field in situations he excels in the most when Beast is getting raped in coverage.

3. I'm not saying Ive been a huge Hurney guy in his tenure here, but I acknowledge the good he has done despite Hurney haters reluctance to do so, but last night solidified my belief that this team needs a new GM. Hurney has ignored the most important aspect of a winning football team outside a franchise QB, and that is pass rush. Outside of CJ (who isn't living up to his contract at all), there is no one who can't get to the passer. While our opponent last night goes 2 or 3 deep on the D-line.

4. Chud is vastly overrated. Coming out with the wildcat BS when we have Cam Newton? Calling plays that takes ages to develop when Cam has no time to wipe his ass? We didn't see one screen pass till the 2nd half if I recall, Chud can't adjust worth poo.

5. The least of our problems is Cam (some Cam haters will argue this), but he really needs to stop going full retard 2-3 times a game. I know he was trying to makes plays a couple of times on long down and distance, but some decisions he makes those couple of times a game are just stupid. Stop coming out after a loss in a press conference and saying the right things to not turn the ball over and actually do it Cam.

The cold hard truth is...

JR is our owner and Hurney is our GM.

We will keep this coaching staff for way too long, like we did the last one. No one is getting fired. No jobs are being lost. We'll keep seeing this crap for the rest of this season, and likely next season as well.

Quit drafting players out of Northeastern Central Community College Tech players... Why?

Odds are good that you are right.

It is up to Hurney to do the right thing and resign at the end of the season if we don't make the playoffs.

We just aren't a franchise that is willing to do what it takes to win. We get a bunch of mediocre coaches and mediocre players and stick with them year after year.

Panthers Organization will muddle along as a mediocre team - right up to the point where they get sold and moved to another market - then they will excel.

Charlotte is cursed for Pro teams.

Yikes. One loss and we should fire everyone. Two losses and we should give up hope for all eternity and sell the team! Watch out for this guy, hate to see him after our third loss this year.

The Hornets were pretty competitive.

[Cape Fear Cat]

I turned it off after the first quarter, when the score was 17-0, and I realized we were playing a night game - we NEVER win night games. It' s like everyone in aPanthers uniform was p.o.'ed they were missing the new episode of "Glee."

Charlotte has had some pretty competitive teams through the years albeit mostly semi-pro / farm teams.

I know a lot of people here don't like the guy but Bill Polian should have been given the promotion he wanted instead of JR giving his kids the run of the team.

Biggest problem is the lack of talent on both sides of the ball. Overpaying mediocre players, missing on draft picks, and no real free agent impact players signed have taken a toll. Steve Smith is getting older so his impact days are pretty much over, who's there to take over? No one is.

Those are all symptoms of a lack of knowledge at the highest levels of this organization.

The scary part about this is if we go 6-10 or under in back to back seasons(this and next season)...

And the ultimate fear of Cam leaving happens...

That would destroy our fanbase for a LONG time

There is a reason the top handful of teams stay the top handful of teams. Why do Pittsburgh, New England, and the NY Giants stay good year after year? Those teams always find gems in the draft, don't give mediocre players huge contracts, and cut players when they decline or get injured. Some teams stay very good for a long time due to a great QB...Colts, NO, and SD but once that QB is gone they'll decline. Those teams must capitalize while that QB is in their prime.
