I think the Panthers have talent. NFL teams tend to. But when does it manifest itself? When do the young players catch on? When does the offense begin to scare defensive coordinators instead of boring them? Winless Carolina scored seven points Sunday in a loss to Cincinnati.
I really do believe there will come a time, this season, when the Panthers figure it out. But I have no idea when.
Until then? We wait for moments such as the late 44-yard pass, a perfect pass, the rookie quarterback threw to the rookie receiver. We wait for Julius Peppers to come to town with the Chicago Bears. Some of us make the trip to New Orleans for the Saints game next week.
New Orleans is nice this time of year.
If you've been there, you know what I mean.
For those who complain about Jeff Davidson as offensive coordinator, take any of the coments, substitute Dan Henning's name for Davidson's and you'll have the same result. Fans always complained about Henning's conservatism when he was the OC, now it's Davidson's turn. Could it be that the real problem lies elsewhere, perhaps with the head coach?

I agree with those of you who realize that we are rebuilding. The fan base needs to be patient and realize that growing pains are inevitable with all the rookies. The best thing we can do is show up, stand up and cheer loudly for our team. let's not be "fair weather" fans who bail because we can't take the heat. It will get better but not necessarily this year.
