The two guys that came from Louisiana, and his 40 man analyst army, are DAWGSSSSS... Napier will be great if Florida can give him time.

He could move the offense against the Falcons. The Failcons. The 28-3's. The Poopy Pant Ryan's. The FALCONS. He proceeded to throw for more yards to the Bengals than he did to the Panthers in one half. He's garbage. The offense is garbage. You go to a power run game to protect the offense. Our line sucks. Our receivers suck. Our tight ends are the worst in the league.

American soccer fans are quite uninformed and unintelligent when it comes to soccer. I'm a casual fan yet I can even understand the tactical changes a coach may make. Gio Reyna is an offensive and possession oriented player who has probably 3 or 4 more world cups in him. The U.S. did not give up a single goal in three group matches. They got up against Wales and Iran and subbed defensive players in and shifted to a 5 man back line. Against England Reyna was subbed in to get more attack and possession since it was a draw. Given the nature of Holland and their desire to attack, their midfield and back line will be open to counters with the speed of the Americans. Fret not, this is going to be Gio's game guys. Fret not.

Gio is an offensive player. Every game other than England the U.S. has held a league going into sub time so the U.S. subbed back and changed to a defensive alignment. The U.S. has not given up a proper goal yet so you can't argue with the result. If Berhalter makes a tactical change to play a counter attack against the Netherlands you may see Gio start. Calm down young one. You will learn soon enough. Berhalter was a defensive player and is a defensive minded coach. The Dutch will be open to counters all game.

If the U.S. had scored there no one would've complained. I was thinking 3 v. 2 was good enough reason to give it a go. Just poor execution. I'm just glad FIFA got the message that in order to win American viewers over, you can't reward flopping as much.

Name the last Ohio State QB that hasn't been productive. He has two future All-Pros at receiver, potential All-Pro's at running back and offensive linemen, and a better coaching staff than he will have here. Give me Will Anderson Jr. If we don't have offensive weapons to surround Stroud with, he will be just as effective as Darnold, Mayfield, and PJ Walker. Our issue isn't QB, our issue is receivers, tight ends, and offensive line.

41 Touchdowns...not sold on. Hell, I'm not even a UNC fan, I'm an App fan. I'd said on the UNC message boards after the App game that Maye would be a Heisman contender. He just doesn't miss throws man. He doesn't make bad reads and he doesn't miss. It's pretty outstanding to watch. His receivers may not do him any favors outside of Downs but even he has had drop issues. Give me Maye or Williams in 2024 over the repeat of Marcus Mariota and whomever else was taken in that draft which is what you'll get with Stroud and Young. You can't miss at 1 or 2 and Stroud and Young are too risky. You go with Marvin Harrison Jr, Smith-Njigba, or Will Anderson Jr.

I already said that bruh. Cap on that bet, shits based. Leave Stroud and Young for the fishes, draft Marvin Harrison Jr, roll with Darnold and Corral for 2023, take Maye or Williams in 2024 if neither of those guys pan out. Either way we are going to need a veteran clipboard holder for a young QB and I think Darnold could be that guy.

The problem isn't the QB. The problem in this offense is the offense, and the personnel. Our receivers suck, our tight ends suck. They rarely run their routes correctly and to completion. Baker had to check down all last Sunday because the receivers couldn't get to their spots to take the safeties out of the way of the intended route. It doesn't matter. No one is going to be throwing for 300 yards with regularity against any decent.

With the Chargers? If they fire their Head Coach that's who we should hire.

Lamar Jackson is so good that they just beat a 3-8 Carolina team 13-3 and 10 of those points came on very short fields. If our game plan had been to stretch the field vertically and run the ball I feel we may have have a chance to win. Instead Mcadoo packed the box even tighter by going short and run, instead of sideline to sideline or end zone to end zone.

PJ Walker, Chris Weinke, David Carr, bad Jake Delhomme, bad Cam Newton, Jimmehhhh the Clawson Clausen...those are just a few off the top of my head. It doesn't matter who the QB is. If we had Patrick Mahomes pre-Andy Reid in this offense with the weapons and coaching we have we'd be talking about how bad he is. All of the QB's are going to suck against decent teams right now because we have no push up front and our receivers can't create separation. Shi Smith alone fumbled, muffed, and caused an interception last week. Call it growing pains, call it just not being NFL material, but he was bad. It's time to open the downfield play action game where Baker and Sam thrive and put in Rashard Higgins. Baker isn't a nickel and dimer, Baker is a gunslinger type who throws it 20 to 30 yards downfield. Square peg meets round hole.

The offense looked fine with PJ? It looked fine against Atlanta. How did it look against Cincinnat? The offense has been garbage and what we saw yesterday mirrored a typical PJ day because the problem isn't the quarterback, it's the offense and the lack of surrounding talent. I've never seen a Panther team struggle to run the ball as badly as I've seen in recent weeks and much of that is due to scheme. They will put Sam in and he will have the same 11/15 110 yard statline as PJ and Baker have had. Why? It's the system, its the surrounding talent. DJ, Marshall, Moton, and Icky are literally the only guys safe on offense. Everyone else at every other position may be gone in the next two years because we suck that bad.

Tommy Tremble, Ian Thomas, DJ Moore! Can you imagine how amazing that would be? Our offense would still suck. Don't kid yourself. Yesterday showed just how much talent we are devoid of. Yesterday wasn't on Baker. It was on the overall talent level of this offense from top to bottom. Hard for a QB to do much when it's 3rd and 9 on 90% of 3rd downs and then you ask him to drop back and throw us into a win against one of the leagues most talented defenses. Everyone here wants to blame the QB. News flash, it's not the quarterback. Baker has played good ball throughout his career and he comes here and looks like garbage. That's not Baker, that's scheme, coaching, and talent. At least we should have an option for a new OC and a game breaking receiver in 2023.

Our Wide Receiver group is below average. Shi Smith belongs in the USFL. He fumbled, muffed a punt, and caused an interception to close the game. Why Higgins isn't playing is beyond me.

Who the QB is when we play good defenses, our offense is just lacking all around talent and we use a scheme that requires a talent advantage to be successful. We have absolutely no explosiveness at tight end, guys who can hardly block and catch. Outside of DJ Moore, we have nothing that could qualify as explosive at receiver. This allows teams to just pin their ears back and get after the QB and run game when they have the personnel to do it (i.e. Cincy, Baltimore). It's going to be a long rebuilding process that will require a quarterback but will not be solely reliant upon one. We have a lot of needs on offense to be functional against playoff tier groups.

Well, Campen will be gone at the end of the year if most people have their way so, who cares?

Bumgarner...South Caldwells finest except for me and Eric Church... Church is iffy given his UNC ties

Okay. You win. Give me the one year boy wonder OC that no one has ever heard of to run an offense without a mobile QB.

Good Clips, maybe Average, not Great.

Carr and Trubisky are not in the same stratosphere in terms of quality. I'd rather ride with Sam or Baker for 2023 and hope they suck enough to draft Drake Maye in 2024.

Baker seems genuine. Wilson...just no.

Based on what? What makes people think he can be a head coach? Wilks has shown he has what it takes to be and do what a head coach should be, and do. If we hire someone who is an OC similar to this guy, we end up with a highly effective leader of men at head coach and a still good offensive coordinator. Don't care for this guy who could be a flash in the pan for all anyone knows. You don't see anyone jumping for the Ravens offensive coordinators for what they do with Lamar Jackson. Here is a fact, without a running QB, the Eagles would be sitting at .500 with a mediocre offense and no one would know this guy exists. Maybe we should hire Jalen Hurts as Head Coach since he is what makes that go. If you want to go OC's, give me Kellen Moore or Ken Dorsey. Ken has been raised by McDermmot and Rivera and has been a part of some major program building projects that have been massively successful.

You never know with this team. We haven't seen Baker start since Rhule left and he could be a major boon to the passing game over what we had with Walker. He's been able to sit, observe, and coach without the pressure we started the season with and without that coach. I'm not sure what happened in Cincinnati, that was easily one of the strangest Panthers games I've ever seen. Coaches either mis-game planned on purpose or...they just wanted to be fired. I expect us to come out and play inspired. The team has really gelled more than any Panthers squad I remember and now we have Baker, who has a lot of experience against this Ravens team, starting. We will see. 13 points is a huge spread in the NFL and rarely is that covered. I'd expect the game to be within 10 points and the Panthers may even be able to win. There is no pressure to win when everyone expects you to lose. All of that pressure will be on the Ravens.

The offense looked instantly better the moment Rhule left. Even if the 2nd half of Cincy was a blowout, the Bengels knew the Panthers were going to throw and all Baker did was have almost a perfect half of football. Both Baker and Sam have the talent to be successful NFL quarterbacks. I think Sam is more naturally gifted personally and all of us here wondered what he would look like with good coaching and a good offensive line. Well, instead we got poor coaching, a poor offensive line, and a fired offensive coordinator who was scapegoated by Rhule. I'd love to see what both Baker and Sam look like in this offense. If it turns out that one of them can be salvageable with an actual NFL coaching staff and a team that appears to have found a cornerstone left tackle and an identity, the better off we will be. We may not have to use one of our valuable picks on a quarterback yet again and instead just hold serve to see what we got with Corral and whomever stands out enough to be retained going into 2023 with a real coaching staff and good core of offensive talent.
