This is the most I've been excited about the Panthers...

If we get the right guy in here to handle personnel, then I'll be excited.

Right now, we're looking at 10 more games of a team playing for a staff they've already spoken out against and we don't have a GM in place. There's nothing immediately exciting about this for me, lol. I am excited to hear what happens with the consultant/GM search, but that's about it.

I have retracted an earlier post I made out rage/anger. I'll still will support my team. I'll suffer through the rest of the season. I'll still be there every Sunday, hoping, believing, drinking cold adult beverages, and knowing in my heart that maybe in a year, maybe two things will get better.

It really should be different in 2 years after this. For the time being RR, Chud, and McDerm have 10 games to save their jobs. Right now it doesn't look good. They are clearly losing the locker room. What do you expect when you bring in a 2 TE offense and you try to make into an option run scheme. Who in their right mind would hear that game plan and say: "Brilliant!"

There is so much failure dragging this team down. Its obviously difficult for Cam to handle the losses. He's a little immature, maybe with the slouching and such, but he's a born competitor and he is definitely not the same as last year. His regression is not just due to poor scheming. He hasnt taken advantage of game winning opportunities throughout his short career.

I'd like to think it's possible that the players could get it together and still put up a fight. But this is the kind of situation that ends up with the #1 overall pick. That would mean we've taken a huge step back. Even if we went .500 from this point, we would still only achieve a 6-10 record. If you are gonna bring in a new GM, wouldn't you ideally want a top five pick to intice the best candidates.

I don't see this ending anytime soon. And when it does, I don't see it ending pretty for RR.

    • Yeah but jumping up in the draft to get a project #2/3 WR is just plain not smart. I am down on XL because the thought was that he could be a potential #1 WR and he has been anything but that so far. Also, the idea of him as a slot is even more upsetting because you pass on several more productive slot guys(McConkey being the most obvious) that were TREMENDOUSLY more NFL ready. I was not a fan of the XL move at the time and I am not a fan of the decision in short term hindsight either. He is just simply going to have to be a guy that proves it on the field to me. McMillian was my #1 WR in this draft and I was a pro-McMillian guy. However, he isn't gonna get treated with baby gloves either. We are in the era of rookie WR's putting up 1k+ yd seasons with regularity. He's going to(barring injury) have to be one of the top 2 or 3 WR's in this class in terms of production. And that's being very generous to him. He really needs to be THE guy from this class. It isn't like he is gonna have a lot of guys taking catches away from him.
    • Thought this was an interesting moment of candor. See the 2:00 min mark. TD said he made the decision that he wanted T-Mac as our 1st round pick back in January. Dan chimed in and said he made the decision early as well (indicating the same time frame).
