RENTON — The last time the Carolina Panthers came to Qwest Field, they were playing for a Super Bowl berth. Almost five years later, pride is pretty much all that is at stake for the Panthers.
As far as the Seahawks have fallen from their 2005 Super Bowl season, things are even worse for the Panthers this year. Carolina is currently 1-10, good for the worst record in the league, and has scored fewer points and gained fewer yards than any team in the NFL.
“I think just youth,” Panthers coach John Fox said on a conference call. “We have a lot of youth in some critical positions — quarterback, wide-out — you know, we started young and then like everybody, you get the injury bug and that makes you even less effective because it’s not so much that you don’t have players that are qualified, it’s just that they aren’t as trained in your system or this league at the rate you have to be to play fast.”
