I hate that so many college teams run the no huddle hurry up spread, not a fan of watching it at all.

I can't watch a lot of horror movies. If I see a lot of blood or needles I pull a Royce White and have a panic attack and faint.

And no, I dont have vagina.

If you're into horror movies check out As Above So Below. Saw it last week and it really kept me entertained the whole time.

I know Newton is hurt and everything, but hes playing like a quadriplegic. He can run a little bit..

He will probably be a quadriplegic after the season with that O-Line

As someone with mobility issues, I find these posts offensive.

Cam has nothing to do with this display. The offensive line is horrendous. We are using 25% of our cap on running backs who are all inactive. Another 35% of the cap on players no longer on the team (If you count Hardy). Thats 55% of our salary cap on dead players. This is a throwaway year. How we beat the Lions like that I will never know.


That said, Luke is not playing well that that's troublesome. Charles Johnson appears done which is not good either. And we look like idiots for giving away Steve Smith.

Johnson is in the middle of that damn 73 million dollar contract also.

They should have been out of Stewarts deal by now. I hate how far Johnson has fallen. They should still have Hardy out there and that would help a lot on defense. Nobody we have at DE can play the run the way he can. I am about at the point where I think they should try Short at DE just to be more stout up front.

Now I have no idea what they need to do about OL. They are just plain bad and it really has me guessing the front office even more than I already was. They said Bell and Chandler were good and we would be fine. Nothing in the past has shown that was close to true and it is being proven on the field. If you could not see this from last season I doubt their ability to judge talent what so ever.

It is tough to call plays with no running game in sight.

I don't keep up with the NFL nearly enough to really understand the salary situation, but from the sounds of it, the Panthers appear to be in a familiar bind- the financial bind our Bobcats were in just a few years ago... big contracts everywhere, not enough talent/too many injuries to be good. Think this might be a wasted season for us.

Our ex GM Marty Hurney gave out two massive contracts to two freaking running backs when the league was in the middle of turning into a passing league, then gave Charles Johnson a massive deal and he flat out sucks. Have to also eventually extend Newton which will cost a ton of money.
