The book is out on how to defend him. It's not the offense because the throws are there. It's literally BY. If you defend the boundary numbers out, instruct your pass rushers to stay disciplined to impact throwing lanes, drop LB into shallow zones with two deep all that's left is bait throws over the middle that lead to turnovers, throws out to the flat, outs and comebacks. If you're defending the boundary correctly all of those throws will be contested heavily and lead to little yac and big plays. All the other team has to do is survive the scripted part of the early game and sit back and let Bryce inevitably panic.

For anyone questioning why The NY Times is posting this, The NY Times owns The Athletic which is their attempt to be espn.

Local papers have to care about Tepper and what he thinks because access to the Panthers has changed since Tepper bought the team. The NY Times... Well they don't give a fug what Tepper thinks. Lmao

They were supposedly looking for football players and looking at production. As opposed to athletes. Looking for dawgs I really think Tepper meddled hard in the top of the 2024 draft and so that throws the value system out the window. This year I feel pretty good about the players we brought in, and the guys we picked on day three in 2024 yielded some dividends. Viewed through the lens of Tepper meddled round 1/2 and the later picks are pretty decent, and the 2025 yield looks strong, the narrative about shitty drafting may be dated. If you choose to separate the Tepper and the GM/HC picks it looks much better I don’t know if that scenario is accurate but I think it is reasonable to game it that way This with the misfit players drafted is timely. That is where continuity comes in. When you are changing coaches ever couple of years you get an abundance of players that can be ill suited. Plus it is hard on the players having to learn things and they have to think too much. I think we have seen that. I can’t say what we’d better do, not trying to turn it into that. But if we do not make the right decision on coaching and GM we will be doing it again in two years. At some point you know, you have to maybe stick with some people. I am not here to argue if those people are Dan and Dave just the concept. We have to have that.

do yourself a favor and do not look at the DJ johnson trade, nor who we drafted him over

You know I didn't want Tmac because I felt he didn't fit with Bryce. That said, most of what people are calling drops here and on twitter are not drops. It's him jumping and stretching out his arms and getting to a ball most receivers wouldn't even sniff. Makes it look like a drop because he's getting his hands on them but they are in no way a drop, they are terribly off target throws made to look better than they actually are because Tmac had a ridiculous catching radius

I'm saying it just takes time. With this game in particular, even though it was turnover clean, it somehow made the inability to do anything decent that more obvious. It was just straight up inefficiency and misses. Daffy duck'd

T-Mac gonna be fine for us.

Yea but this is year 3. That’s been happening for a while. Just interesting that this particular game flipped a lot of folks.

The dude saw Josh Freeman at QB

Years into everyone’s tenure after 4 wins 5 wins 7 wins 4 wins etc lol Im in you’re boat now with things believe it or not but also realize this isn’t a quick fix.

Well there's a second Lombardi trophy over there in the midst of it all.

Yeah there's a pretty substantial switch this week. The more tape there is, more evident the reality becomes. The footwork, shallow jittery drops that give him no sight lanes, frenetic pacing, slow pocket speed, inability to outrun IDLs, poor placement, and really, he can't move the ball unless he's running empty sets or has an easy dump off. He'll have 2-3 good intermediates per game (if that).

I think Drai gets 19m if he wants it if Kaprizov is getting 17m. McDavid is getting 22+ on his next contract unless he takes less.

Him and Licht saw some shitty times in Tampa on their resume. That is what causes me to pause on any GM change/firing.

Ravens defense also playing awful too (which is more of a surprise)

I do feel like Canales wants to run but we can’t right now. and if you say Coen had a better run offense I’ll point to you he had Bucky Irving and Canales did not.

Problem with Evero is he has a mixed bag of a resume from us and the broncos so this will be the final straw in the panthers saga.

As bad a look as it is to cut him, it would’ve been worse to keep starting him.

The old show ‘Name That Tune’ I can name that song in 5 notes. I can fix the Panthers with two. Kidnap Tepper, get a real NFL QB. Arrow pointing up. Really, Tepper being gone would be a one note deal.

Diaby was one of many guys plenty of people around here were excited about. Byron Young and Tuli were two in particular that completely presented themselves to us. It's rough to look back on.

Honestly, as a collective, the huddle wouldve made better decisions than those in charge for over the past decade and a half.

I have no idea who brought back Evero but until I hear otherwise I will assume it was a mix of DC and Morgan. No one stopped it that's for sure. He could have left in the offseason and been a win/win. He gets to say they didn't invest enough in the D while going to prove it elsewhere and they get to say they needed to make a change. Perfectly normal but it's the Panthers so they choose poorly again. WTF brings back a historically poor showing like that in their 2nd year?

Who is the assistant Gm over there?
