A couple of Quotes:

Smitty:

"Not heartbreaking," Smith said. "Tiresome, monotonous, a few guys in here are perturbed and (ticked), but we're beyond heartbreak. We're just getting upset."

Even though Jennings now has six interceptions, the Panthers' Smith wasn't heaping praise on him. "I know you want to pump him up. I've been kicking his (butt) every time I've come up here and today no was different. Do you disagree? I didn't think so."

Cutler:

Cutler said his ribs weren't bothering him. He just didn't play well for most of the game. "Didn't really feel them at all," he said. "No one played well. I didn't play well. It starts with me. Offensively, those first 3 1/2 quarters were just ugly."

Cam:

"This was a challenging week, not only for myself, but for any Carolina Panther fan that has been following us," Newton said. "We just have to come out and keep enduring and keep going and keep going. It tells a lot about the teammates and what type of team you have faced with adversity."

One note regarding Cam and his quote...anybody that questions the coachability of this guy is way off the mark. He has reacted to the criticism he's gotten each and every week. This week's post game press conference was very professional.

Get him a good coaching staff and give him time to develop and we are going to be very proud of him.

This is just one of those seasons where nothing goes our way. The refs, the play-calling, boneheaded mistakes by the players, injuries, paying a fortune for players were not using, slippery turf. It's just a total disaster.

Smith is right to get pissy with the media, they do pump us sh!tty players on big market teams. I don't care how angry our players are getting, just stop making foolish mistakes. Our players are finally reaching the level of focus we should have had at the start the season. And what happens? The coaching staff steps in with terrible play-calling that will probably cost them their jobs at the end of the season. Why give a QB who is playing as poorly as anyone has ever seen, easy pitch and catch passes all the way to field goal range? To throw the game? Fine, I want the draft picks more, but GD Rivera you're going to get sh!t canned for that. WTF is going on here?

I watched the post game video of Rivera and Cam on Panthers.com and thought the same thing about Cam's press conference. He seemed level headed and very professional, calling himself out to himself... but then also telling the media hat they say doesn't matter to him for the most part.

I watched another video on Panthers.com that interviewed Greg Hardy... He sounded like he was about to cry due to the loss. Don't blame him. I kinda felt that way too, to a point. lol

      Tyler Warren

      By d-dave · Posted

      Man, what interesting polarization here.  Some, hard pass while others would jump their own mom to make  the pick (ok, I just inserted that mental image, ha ha). Warren produced despite being the main focal point of the Penn State offense.  I didn't watch Penn State, but that's what a lot of talking heads are saying so take that with a gigantic grain of salt here!  When I watch the highlights and listen to the analysis: dude is a bully.  He's big, strong and fast enough.  Not a home run threat of a guy, but someone who can use his size and strength to his advantage, like how Gronk did.  Does that make him a sure fire HOF player before he plays a snap?  No, of course not! But I think it's also very important to look at what's happened to other high draft pick TEs.  Top 10 TEs rarely make an impact.  Look at Kyle Pitts in ATL.  He's a great athlete, but was he a worthy high draft pick?  TJ Hockinson.  He was suppose to be a can't miss product, and was traded to the Vikings.  Here's a handy list (despite the source, eww): https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There has been much better value drafting guys in the 2nd-4th rounds.  I have no idea if Warren will wash out or not, but I'd MUCH rather draft the best pass rusher, CB or even WR than a TE in the top 10.  Now if the Panthers traded down into the late teens or early 20s and they are sold on him being a difference maker...  I guess that's a different conversation. It could also just be a smoke screen.  Since we telegraphed Legette last year, could be gaming some of the other teams.  Or we could have a hard-on for him. I do enjoy the off season 😃

      ProFootballFocus presents: Carolina Panthers 7-round mock draft: Bryce Young gets some help, defense gets reinforcements

      By jb2288 · Posted

      Guess I'm in the minority, love this mock. If you told me we somehow could get both TMac and Starks I would have thought that meant we traded future picks to move up.
