Granted, Norv's play calling has a lot to do with it too.
So now we are supposed to hold accountability based on a players pay scale? Ok...I think a lot of you take PR for granted. Has he made some really bad plays over the past 2 years, sure has, but without him this team would be more than garbage. Its amazing how some dont see the correlation between the incredibly weak and think O-line and the poor play of Rivers. I dont care who is back there at QB, if you dont have an O-line you dont have a QB. Lets not even start with the lack of talent and depth at WR. Meachem cant even get on the field, Vincent Brown...gone, VJ....gone, Eddie Royal....gone. Now dont get it twisted, Im not completely absolving PR for his mistakes, but come on! He is the one thing (along with this young, exciting defense) that gives me hope that this thing can be turned around next year. This is the NFL. Things can turn around from year to year. Im just surprised that a lot of you dont see the value in PR thats all. Just my worthless opinion.

Headline in the Raleigh N&O.

"Panthers, Chargers have mirror-image frustrations"

Only Panthers fans don't care so much as apparently do Chargers fans. We like college ball here in the south.

So when the Panthers do well we support 'em, when they don't we ignore 'em.

But come Sunday, I'll be tuned in to that one. Oughta be fun. Y'all be sure and wear some Panthers jersey's on Sunday nigh ya heeuh. Gotta git rid of turner. Seriously! :-)

I hate seeing "my man" having to go through all this crap. I know he loves Norv but he just needs to take his medicine. That's all there is to it. Love ya PR and I'll be seein you on the "other side."

I didn't have time to read through all the posts, but have to say that the 3rd down calls by Norv, and the execution by the players, to keep the chains moving was what really impressed me. The old adage is make sure the completion gets you the 1st down, and those catches by Spurlock and Alexander and others did that; and, it was just enough to get a new round of downs without risking a longer more difficult completion. Very good job, Norv and players.

What Ronnie does not know, is Norv WAS thinking field goal. I doubt he expected to get the first down on 3rd and 13 with the draw to your aging running back.

Sounds to me like they are just trying to keep his job for him. Too late guys, Norv's going bye bye.

Y'all be sure and show up on Sunday and make sure you are wearing Panther paraphernalia. :-)
Uh huh. Well, Y'all hitch up the horse and buggy and travel 3000 freakin' miles for you all's road game this week son.

Rivera was our trash that we threw into your junkyard of an organization. We have him so figured out that we showed him the door.

Chargers win at home son

That is a sign of a fan who only cheers on for his team when they are doing good.
