I don't know that there's a team I feel more sympathy for this year than Carolina. Delhomme is gone, Matt Moore gets the $16 mil franchise QB tender and plays terribly until benched; your top QB draft pick comes in, plays even worse, gets benched; Moore comes back in, injures himself and goes on IR; Clausen starts to turn it around, gets a concussion, and Tony Pike, their 6th-round pick this year, likely ends up getting the start.
DeAngelo Williams hurts himself, Jonathon Stewart hurts himself, and despite this, they both get outclassed by 4th-string RB Mike Goodson, posting the Panthers' first 100yd rushing game of the year. Then you have the whole Dwayne Jarrett failure and the fact that Steve Smith not only barely gets the ball but has no competent receiver opposite him to take off some of the coverage...a messy year, indeed.
Panthers' new QB depth chart:
- Tony Pike (Rookie 6th-round pick, 12 career pass attempts)
- Armanti Edwards (Rookie 3rd-round pick, former Appalachian State QB, converted to WR)
- Brian St. Pierre (5 career pass attempts)
And people are talking about the Dolphins' QB problems. Eesh.

Here's a big e high-five to Buddhist for the Raiders having the division lead in WEEK 10. They could lose every game for the rest of the season and I'd still be amazed by this year. Haha. They're actually getting better.
There's also the fact that Lane Kiffin's grievance against us was denied by an NFL arbiter. Things are lookin' up.
It feels even better having woken up, looked at the AFC West standings (FUCK YEA), then read an article about the change in the locker-room culture...and THEN taking a long look at this:
TODD HALEY IS NOT AMUSED.
