Let's not put the Panthers in the Hall of Fame just yet. Carolina's defense was dry roasted by Drew Brees, but you knew Brees was going to get his (30-of-42, 313 YDS, 4 TD, 0 INT). At home, Brees is a point-scoring robot. When the Saints play in the dome, all Brees has to do is breathe on the football and the points reproduce like Tribbles.

 

He must read The Huddle, because who in the media is putting the Panthers in the HOF. Has a whole team ever gone into the HOF?

Users who post here have more credibility than writers for the BR

Freeman's work has been posted here before. Sometimes well received, sometimes not.

He has a half decent resume', but his career also has some 'interesting' events on record if you care to research him.

I didn't see anything wrong with it really.  I don't like that he just glossed over the comeback win vs the Pats because it wasn't a "key divisional game late in the season" (um, ok? Newton was legitimately great that game), but it's true.  For us to beat these types of teams, we need Cam to be more than just a methodical dink and dunk kind of guy.  

 

It's all part of the growth and maturation process for Cam.  As good as we've been this year, it just seems like we need another year of seasoning and a few more pieces before we'll be able to make REAL noise.  I'm hopeful I'm wrong on that point and we can do damage in the playoffs this year, but just my gut feeling.

The problem with that is this team doesn't give Cam the opportunity to be superman. They made him a game manager. Well a game manager ain't beating Drew Brees in the dome. He's just running the offense taking what the defense gives. That will win you some games when your defense is creating turnovers and shutting the opposing offense out, but not against a well oiled machine like the saints in the dome.

I think this bit...

Newton and the Panthers had an opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the league by beating the Saints. They could have told the league: We're not just a pretty defense. We're not a fad. Our offense can play, too. We're here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and we're all out of bubble gum.

Instead, it was New Orleans, in a 31-13 drubbing of Carolina at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, that made the statement, putting the Panthers in their place—which is behind the Saints. Nice kitties. Good try. Cute effort.

...might rub a few people the wrong way.

As with every other facet of this team- consistency means everything.

 

No fanbase? Start winning consistently and they'll be back

No love from the media? Start winning consistently and they'll give you the occasional pass.

No credit from other teams? Beat them on a regular basis and they'll respect you.

Under the radar? 3 or 4 consecutive 9-10 win seasons or better and you'll be on everyone's radar.

 

Winning cures all. In the meantime the Panthers are maybe the 4th best team in the NFC.
