So I liked what Wilks did last year, and he gave the team a spark, and made football fun to watch again. And he was far from perfect, but simply an imperfect upgrade from Rhule. It was more of the old school pound the rock and play defense style, but that matched with our lack of talent at QB. Made sense. But I understood moving on, especially to a more offensively minded staff, and once Evero was hired, I was happy that we didn’t neglect the only positive (yet imperfect) thing about our team: defense. And that side of the ball remains good enough to win football games. I am just absolutely stunned by this offense right now. I didn’t expect greatness, but competence. The coaching staff has been praised like crazy, so I expected more. But through two weeks, I am not seeing scheme adapted to players, but, ONCE AGAIN, players seem forced to do things they aren’t great at. Sanders is being run up the guy like CMC was, on obvious run downs. WR screen are being run for Theilen, instead of far more YAC able players. There is no motion or misdirection, or rather very little of it. Laviska does special things with the ball…manufacture touches for him in space. I see other teams do this all the time. Stretch Sanders outside so he can use his footspeed. We paid for a TE. Get him the ball. I am just stunned, but it’s not like I watch Colts games the last few years, so maybe that’s on me.

That’s younger me all day long. And if I’m honest, that’s still me from time to time. I just realize what’s happening and laugh at myself more nowadays lol.

I think those calling you a bad fan for this take, just haven’t realized the truth of what you are saying yet.

For Bryce. Not the Panthers. But to be fair I don’t know this guy, but I’m seeing a lot of apologizing for Bryce in the media right now, and I guess I should just avoid reading it, because it’s annoying the poo out of me lol. I know it’s early and it’s a 17 game season, but just let it play out. There are a lot of people running to Young’s defense, but save that poo. An off-season of “I’m blessed” and “processing” has me saying; enough metrics, enough hype, enough is enough. Just do something. I don’t need anymore talk about how great this kid is. Show us.

I’m sorry but this stuff comes off as damage control. We don’t have the 49ers roster, but we, once again have a defense with no offense. Bryce gave away the game week 1, and Reich made McAdoo look like Bill Walsh week 2. We lack depth, but we don’t lack talent. Something ain’t right, and I expect this “all star staff” to figure out how to use players to their strengths…

Chinn is literally smaller faster Luvu. He’s a linebacker. He’s explosive. He’s a heavy hitting guy. He can blitz, he is strong enough to hold the edge from time to time even if he’s lighter. A back or TE tasked at blocking him is a tall order. He plays bigger than his size, although he isn’t even small. The anti-YGM.

Clueless tweet.

A #1 overall pick QB should be able to validate that selection without elite players around him. Reminds me of the danger of Young/Stroud all along. How much of their success was due to having a talent advantage each week? Hard to tell until they get to this level, and the field is more level, and all the players on the field are elite compared to college. It’s sooooo early, but being physically limited, there’s little hope if he can’t “process” as advertised. I’m concerned right now, but I’m not worried.

There comes a point when you need to lay in your bed.

Can confirm he liked AR. He had him pegged as the pick if we stayed at 9. At least at one point in time.

Just for the record, you’ve said words like “honest” and “truth” regarding Corral, but outside of clearing waivers, you have stated assumptions, not truth. No one knows what is going on with Corral. So assuming he is drinking, or that his career is over, although possible, isn’t “truth.”

Let’s not downplay a great slice of pizza though.

The Hornets have sucked to the point where I can barely watch 10-15 games a season before checking out. I never thought that would happen with the Panthers. I’ve watched every game unless it wasn’t broadcasted since 95’. But if we have another losing season AND Bryce doesn’t show flashes of greatness… I might have to take a break.

Double Nailed it.

I mean…I know this is making fun of the team, but you actually nailed the exact attitude someone should logically have. It’s not like we can do anything to change what the team and front office will do. People want the team with with blue and black jerseys to be like the up and coming Dolphins. Well you can’t make that happen, so maybe be a Dolphins fan? Either that, or find things about the Panthers that you can enjoy. Or be miserable all the time. Enjoy (Not directed at you, just generally)

Nope. They traded up for him, signed Dalton to mentor, and cut last years 3rd round pick before ever seeing Young throw an NFL pass. Theres not plan B. No fall back. All hope is on Bryce figuring it out now. And we need to see if he figures poo out this season. No more delaying things.

Just a really fun group to watch. Gruiger-Hill stepped up. Luvu is the man. Woods/Bell is looking like a nice combo. And we consistently made Carr’s day miserable with the pass rush. Hell even Henderson was a play away from having an acceptable performance. Just the group as a whole played with such passion, laid it on the line, and they made this a game. Offense…get your poo together. Just do something. Be slightly below average instead of historically bad so we can know what winning games feels like.

He’s blessed though. Oh and busy processing.

Sure but it was treated like something it isn’t. You aren’t dumb if you score low on that test. From my understanding, the point of the test is how well you deal with reacting to multiple visual stimuli at the same time, or rapidly back to back, and how quickly you identify and respond to that. People made CJ Stroud “Waterboy” memes. It was just a form of ignorant character assassination.

Page 15 looks exactly like every page 15 lol

I wish that kid nothing but the best. People made him out to be dumb as rocks pre draft. It was pathetic.

I appreciate your posts. This will help people even if they don’t speak up. Thank you.

I understand the concern with Young’s ceiling. We share that. These guys have to get to the point where they aren’t “thinking,” but “playing” in the new systems that come with a new staff. And a rookie QB is still a rookie QB. When we replaced the staff, there’s always a learning period. I’d expect more initially if we kept Wilks and the continuity that would have come with that. The intent though, is to take 1 step back, then 2 steps forward. We’ll see.

A lot of talk about guys “not getting separation” in this thread…but shouldn’t Reich/Brown be able to scheme guys open sometimes?
