What Seahawks fans are saying...

I try not to be critical knowing how much work goes into it but that site really looks like kermit the frog's jizz rag.

 

So you made me curious, checked it out. OMG.  Can't believe that has not been fixed.

 

Regarding fan comments.  There are many stupid posts on this board...you pick out a few and post them elsewhere and generalize....Panther fans do not sound smart either.  Below is a post from a more thoughtful Seahawks fan:

 

Before the preseason the Panthers were my pick for an "upset" team and their D has not disappointed so far. Cam had a good season last year despite all the rookie QBs getting the spotlight and the misguided media declaring "sophomore slump". He did as well, if not better in the important QB metrics, in year 2 vs. year 1. Despite that, I think Cam can be contained due to their lack of real receiving threats. Their D is my real worry this game. CAR had the 11th ranked D by Football Outsiders (more substantial to me than other ranking sites) and they will jump into the top 10 this year. Their LBs are beastly and challenge SF as best in the league. Their D-line is no laughing matter either. If we win this game, we will need to play fairly flawless and grind it out. Last year we were lucky to escape with a win, and both teams have improved since last meeting. Should be a close one. If we can win this game I think it will bode extremely well for the rest of our season. I guess I like the fact that the first game will be a challenge. We have so many road 10AM games this year, we can't afford to come out of the gate slowly.

 

I do think our receivers will be better than expected.  But, think he had an excellent post.

Cam is going to have an awful lot to do with whether the Panthers win or not.

 

As I will be there, and I love him with all of his flaws, I really hope he has his best day as a pro.

 

Rivera suddenly looks like a coach.

 

The defense and special teams play as good against a playoff team as they do scrubs.  Wilson is smart, accurate and patient, calm under pressure.  It will be interesting.  It seems like the bigger the moment, the bigger he gets.

 

I hope all the people on here who didn't buy tickets, buy some and show up.

 

It sure would be nice to walk out of BofA in September against a good team, a winner for a change.

 

 

Thanks for the post. I know you didn't mean any harm or ill will toward any player at all.

 

However with all due respect, this is whats wrong with Panther Nation sometimes. 

 

Cam gets two full sentences of worry, critique and pressure cast upon him. However, Rivera (who's been a much worse Pro coach his first two years than Cam's been a pro QB), has only 4 words, without the ultimatums, expectations or pressure of cast upon Newton.  :thumbsd:

 

Who do you think is going to perform better on average [if you had to guess] during this game?.....I know. 

 

Why isn't Rivera's seat constantly on the fire, and his coaching questioned (especially by outsider media, that doesn't even seem to know or care what he does/his role, or culpability on the team)?? And it's even worse, when Panther fans give Rivera a pass, and act like it's all on Cam if the team fails. We should know better. 

 

And yes, I wish River the best!  And expect much better from him this year with presence of Dave Gettlemen (hopefully anyway). 

 

OK, I digress, I'm back now!  :thumbsu:

You are kidding me right?

You took absolutely every thing I said not the way intended.

Newton does have to take the next step and just as other great QBs have done, make others better than they are.

He isn't the first QB to have abysmal o line...look to Pittsburg for the example. Or no running game look to Brady and Rogers.

A lot is on him and for this team to win he has to handle his business as a big time player making big time plays in big games.

If he does, how good or bad Rivera and the rest are wont matter.

..and yes like all players and people he does have flaws.

I don't think you read what I said correctly and are being defensive. Relax

 

I said, you spent more time discussing, worrying about Newton, while [essentially] giving Rivera a pass. I didn't criticize you (and even mentioned you probably meant no harm). I just asked, why is it Panther fans (and we know the National media) do this sometimes. It was more about Rivera than anything, anyone else.  

 

It's not about Cam having faults (and every player has them, including him). No No. I just think Rivera has NOT been a NFL level Head Coach since he's been here, and has failed them many times, receiving little open, national criticism. However, Newton is held to a higher standard somehow, despite performing better. And to your statement: I've seen Cam play great, error free football  (like in Kansas City last year, and against Minnesota in 2011, etc.), and still lose cause of Rivera bonehead mistakes. So I'm not sure what you're saying? Sure Cam has made mistakes. No doubt. But Rivera's made a bushel load in comparison, and has been below standard in so many coaching/management areas. He's even admitted it himself (and how some of it has negatively affected Cam to boot). Case closed!

 

More importantly. I expect Cam to play well, and raise the team to a higher level (mistakes and all) practically every game. That's been his standard so far. And because of this, he's kept the Panthers in many a game his first two seasonos. I'm never certain if Rivera will coach well though during any game. And there in lies the problem, and gist of my point/response. It wasn't so much about Cam. It was more about Rivera (and how you presented it as an example). 

 

Nonetheless, It is what it is. And I wish better from Rivera, and I'm rooting for him.

I hate to go off topic but, Wilson didn't even play that well the first 8 games of the season last year. It's shocking how people call him an elite QB same poo with Kaep.

 

Why has everyone forgotten that being a one year wonder is a thing? I wouldn't be shocked of Wilson or Kaep end up being busts.

Newton and rape- a- burger both get hit a lot because of one reason - they hold onto the ball too damn long.

 

the best o line in the nfl cant hold off defenders all day long while you dance arouund in the backfield deciding what to do with the ball -

On the flip side- they both make a lot of plays others can't.
