I bought the Sunday Ticket for one reason. All in.

Oh geez! If that's the SOLUTION, then...

Well... that's not what happened last season. I would have sworn this team wasn't gonna win a game before Rhule was let go. Not saying they should fire Reich, but he may need some nudging in relinquishing playcalling duties.

If this is true, it's 100% about Reich giving playcalling duties to Thomas. No other CHANGE can happen that will make a significant impact right away. Wins and losses be damned. If they keep putting Bryce in these CRAPPY situations, they are gonna ruin him. Brees wasn't Brees until Payton got a hold of him. Heck, Trevor wasn't Trevor until Pederson. Tua needed McDaniel. And I really don't think Purdy would be who he is without baby Shanny boy genius. Just saying. Guys around here act like playcalling and weapons don't matter. A QB's situation going in to the NFL is a HUGE factor to the level of success they'll have. Reich and his playcalling is not a good situation for BY, or Laviska, or Mingo, or Sanders, or Chuba, or...

If anyone watched that video and came away thinking BY and Stroud's stiuation is even remotely equal... You have an ulterior motive. Much better protection. Much better separation. Much better plays with receivers spread out. This is not what BY is looking at on game days. Stroud is making the plays. But I'm not sure BY doesn't make these plays too.

I'm just trying to understand why so many are stuck on drooling over players from other teams at this point. It doesn't matter if Stroud is a HOFer in 3 years and Bryce is out of the NFL next year. Bryce is the Panthers' QB. Stround is the Texans QB. That ain't gonna change. It would make more sense to compare him to 2nd round QBs in next year's draft or 1st rounders in 2025. No one can argue against Stroud having the most success thus far - 4 games in, or that AR looks like Cam lite. No one. But unless you're just gonna switch to a Texans or Colts fan, then it makes no sense to dog your QB out and overanalyze him because he isn't another rookie QB taken 1-2 picks after him in the draft. Stroud missed throws. AR misses reads. Every QB that has ever played does. We don't know who Bryce will ultimately be, after 3 friggin games. I didn't want the Panthers to move up to #1 to get any QB in this draft. I thought we needed more playmakers and actual WRs before bringing in a rookie QB, for the reasons we're seeing Bryce struggling now. But Bryce is a Panther now. So he's my guy until he isn't.

OK dirty Harry. Point taken.

You think our o-line has issues? That o-line is one of the worst I've ever seen. I feel bad for Daniel Jones. They are Carolina 2014 bad.

I mean that's a good point. Their WR curse is even worse though. They've taken HOF level talents at the position and turned them into JAGs. Feel bad for Caleb and Marvin.

fair point. but with so many good QBs coming out, it wouldn't be that hard to drop just out of QB-hungry teams range and still get Marvelous Marvin.

not even Chicago can mess this up. Those first 2 picks are gold. They can absolutely do a 180 with those picks. Caleb first. Trade out of #2 far just far enough to still get Harrison. And still have extra day 2 picks to play with - enough to move back into the first again.

I think that had a lot to do with Ron. He still holds a premium on the defense, because they keep you in games and stuff. Offense just has to not make mistakes. Defense is there to make plays.

I agree with the "no ketchup on steak" take, but hot dogs? Come on bruh. Ketchup and mustard are hot dog staples.

and a 2nd. 2 firsts and a 2nd.

I can't lie. That mofo's arm is LIVELY!!!

I'm not in the habit of defending BY anymore. Not until he at least attempts more deep passes, but that underthrown ball may have been the result of a bad route. The announcers thought it should have been a double move but he just ran a fly. That would throw off the timing. I mean, Bryce can at least throw the ball 50 yards. Heck his early issue was overthrowing the deep ball.

It has been well known in the NFL that Brady's kryptonite is/was pressure from the interior. Nothing to do with height. Everything to do with a QB not being able to step up in the pocket or step into his throw.

Well there is one player that can't make chicken salad out of chicken ish. Unfortunately, we can't seem to get him the ball on a consistent basis - Laviska. He looked like the best RB when he lined up back there. He was obviously the most productive at smoke screens, but you know, gotta get back to dives with Sanders and smokes with Theilen.

And they'll get SOMETHING for Fields. At lease a 3rd or so. At least. They could change the course of their franchise this draft.

The offense isn't getting worse. Red zone offense is horrible but overall the offense is getting better at moving the ball. It'll take time with Bryce. In my opinion, Shenault is the only real playmaker on the offense that can make something out of nothing. Sanders and Chubba can't make plays when the blocking breaks down. TMJ, Thielen, Mingo can't take the ball away from defenders, or win at the point of attack. If they're not open, they won't make the catch. And Ian Thomas should never go out for another pass - hit in the face by a pass in the endzone. And looking for a flag? Bryce has to adjust his definition of open on deep passes. Sometimes you just give your guys a chance. Heck there's a big likelihood that you'll get a PI on those deep balls as DBs tend to panic when the ball is in the air more than a few seconds. These smoke screens to Thielen are killing me though. He ain't going anywhere after the catch. Deebo gets the lion's share of those plays in SF and teams haven't figured out how to stop it without opening up opportunities in other areas. If we're being honest, Shenault may be the best RB on the team. He has better vision and finishes runs better than Chubba and Sanders. And we know he's a homerun threat with the ball in his hands. He should be the guy getting 10-15 touches a game. Not Thielen and Sanders.

I don't think I could agree more with a post than I do this one. Tepper is a new owner making decisions in a world he's not as familiar with. His willingness to learn from others, accept his mistakes and move on, and most importantly spend money is a glaring indictment of his desire to win. He'll bring success to the Carolina Panthers, but it'll take time as he learns what it takes to be successful in today's NFL. Snyder did not care about winning in DC. Snyder didn't even care about the upkeep of facilities in DC. All Snyder cared about was making money and he drove that franchise into the ground. He and Tepper are not the same.

Oh it's obvious on tv as well. There were plays Cam was just throwing the ball to Ginn or Benjamin no matter what. Heck, Delhomme made a great life for himself just chucking that thing to Smitty and Moose into double coverage. Not saying Bryce can do that, because he doesn't have that level of talent around him. But, he's gotta pick his spots where he just says I'm taking a shot here. F the playcall or the read. We need to back these mofos up and make them respect us.

If Reich doesn't give up the playcalling and just be a MFing HC!? Let people do the job you hired them to do! If Thomas fails,you replace him. Period! He's gotta stop holding these grown mens' hands and trying to protect them from the NFL! They're paid very well to do what they do, and if they ain't up for the challenge, then get them out. If Bryce can't push the ball downfield, then get him out of here. This ain't a league for the weak! But honestly, I think he's the one preventing everyone else from being their best. Just get out of the way!

Don't care if he's crying after a game. He's a young man and this is his passion. His father has probably helped him work past the "men don't cry, but die quietly on the inside" persona.

You know it's bad when you long for the days of a Rivera offense.
