Carolina's future | K-town's Blog

Well - it has been a GREAT season in 2008/09. Carolina play a very good season...which after last season, we really need to have a winning season...so THANKS TO ALL THE PANTHERS. Now, down to business. For next year, Carolina Brass needs to evaluate their players and have a succession plan. Jake is on and off...when he is on, he lights up the team. When he is off - well, the fans want to burn down Charlotte. Jake is a good team leader, but he needs to keep focused and be able to get over his own mistakes. When he begin "slippling" with the Cardinals, he just couldn't stop...and he didn't get over it. But THAT IS WHEN the coaches should have helped him. Bench him for a quarter or least several offensive play-runs and let him get his head together. It would have been nice to have ANOTHER HOME game this Sunday. I just hope the other players let Jake know just HOW BAD he screwed up. I know Jerry Richardson won't do it - but someone should let the coaches know how bad they screwed up too! Where was the run game? huh? Come on - we have two of the best RB - and they disappeared!! Well - enough ranting. I just need to get it out of my system. I'm still a HUGE fan...and I'm looking forward to next year.

I do wonder why they didn't go with the run more, they seem to have gotten away from that and we can all agree that Delhomme didn't win all those games this year a stout run game did. Tennessee seems to have done the same thing, they had old Kerry throwing down the field too much instead of letting Johnson and White do the work they did all year, why do teams change their strategy all year. I've always like Carolina although I don't know why I've never been there so yea go Panthers.

You don't change the personality of your team after 16 weeks of football. Poor game planning in trying to pass, which is why we had the first half interceptions. Being down by 20 points, we felt like we had to pass to get back in the game which led to more interceptions. Stewart and Williams never really had the opportunity to touch the ball and wear out Arizona's defense.

I know the Giants had a **** end to their season, but my god, that performance against the Cardinals takes away everything the Panthers did in the regular season. Trailing by TWENTY SIX late in the 4th to a 10 point underdog is a horrendous way to end the season

With the world in a recession and my business struggling, my one hope was to see the Panthers go all the way. What a dissapointment. I guess the panthers are like wall street hot one day and not so hot the next. What happened to the run game??? Can anyone answer that for me. I think John Fox owes the fans an explanation. See ya next year guys
