They can't consistently produce GWD and will choke in the clutch, in big games, and the playoffs more often than not. They look good and pass the 1st round test though. Just not good when it comes to GWD.

Jimmy G is the GWD king I'd rather have a QB who does not look perfect and makes minor mistakes in the game, but can rack up the GWD. Too many of you want the Phillip Rivers, Justin Fields, Mac Jones, or Cam Newton type QB. Couple a RB like CMC with a QB like Jimmy G and you will have the best GWD backfield in the NFL

Not pure luck. Good coaches can take 3rd round QBs, 6th round QBs, undrafted QBs, and turn them into Championship/HoF QBs on the regular. They have written books about it and have taught future NFL coaches how to do it too.

And Stephen Davis needed an athletic pass catching RB like DeShaun Foster to complete the running game. With CMC gone, the Panthers need to find a top pass catching scat back to make them respectable for the playoffs. They are using WRs, but that is easier for defenses to read. They know Shenault isn't going between the tackles. Currently the Panthers are trying to use Shenault, Hubbard, and Blackshear to cover for this major weakness on offense.

I'm blaming it on the DL. Burns, Brown, Ioannidis and YGM. They make up one of the worst DLs in the NFL against the run. Teams love to target Burns and Brown with the running game when they are next to each other. Here's a taste. Let me know if you want more. Don't watch if you don't want to know the truth. Keep your eye on 95 before they pull him from the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7CrxOAxZac Every Mixon run

31st in allowing rushing 1st downs. 30th in allowing rushing yards. Tied for dead last in fumbles lost. Tied for 29th in allowing rushing TDs. He was moved to NT because he sucked at 3 tech. Teams still run right at Brown and Burns as their main game plan. Result is 7 wins and 3 losses. Would you want to be called the DL rock of that defense? I'd imagine you'd be aiming to get replaced. He makes some hero plays. He had a good game in a win against one of the worst team in the NFL. He is run at all the time and teams win more than they lose. Teams give him plenty of opportunities to pad those stats because they know he makes a lot of mistakes and missed tackles while tiring out quickly and giving up on plays when he is beat. He seemingly played a full game without being lazy and giving up against the Falcons. The result was a win. Someone got on him and he was motivated. Let's see him stay motivated and stop the running game like a SB contending NT can do week in and week out. Let's see offenses give up on game planning to run up the middle on him. This DL is horrible against the run and can barely tackle. They are built to be a speed rush college DL. If all they had to do was pressure and rush the passer, this D would be #1. Too bad teams can screen pass and run on them easily.

Called it before the season. Continue to be right while I watch multimillionaire coaches and GMs get it wrong. CMC would be destroying with Bozeman at C instead of Elf. Move Ickey to the interior and this OL is the best in the NFL.

Falco s just attacked Brown and Burns on that drive. Took advantage of them going hero mode and overplaying. Not taking care of team responsibility

Panthers going tank mode

Shoulder to head on defenseless is also part of rule

Move Horn to FS and Chinn to SS

Shenault has much more big play ability than DJ. He sees the field and uses blocks so much better while being where he is suppose to be for the QB. If we had Shenaults playmaking ability, fight, and power with DJs speed, talent and athleticism we would have an ultimate #1 WR. Could Shenault be the Jerry Rice to DJs John Taylor?

Bozeman is killing it with the OL calls and identifying the defense

You can watch it on Twitch for free. AmazonPrime has a channel there.

Xavier has always had stone Hands. This was expected.

Shaq doing well

Falcons not respecting TEs They peeled off of Sullivan to go under DJ. Almost got PJ since Sullivam did not sell his defender. These TEs need to perform

Tremble not paying attention

McAdoo looks like he's been drinking

With the Wilks move I expect Tepper to push for Byron Leftwich as HC. Leftwich would keep Wilks on as DC and bring Clyde Christensen with him as OC. Smart move would be to keep a HC/GM connection which would point to Rob McCartney becoming the new GM of the Carolina Panthers. Rob McCartney comes from the Bucs and has ties to Leftwich, Tepper, and the Steelers. He has grown up around the Steelers since the age of 5 and has impacted the Bucs roster that led to the Bucs winning the SB. Christensen, Leftwich, and McCartney have shown an interest in Aqeel Glass, but lost out to GM Licht keeping his guy Trask in the 3rd QB spot behind Brady and Gabbert. You would have a HC/GM/OC/QB linked from the start. Doug Williams would be an interesting link too that could follow Leftwich as an advisor, and Williams has been big on Glass' NFL potential. All would have an inside look at the Bucs. I would expect Corral to still be in the mix as a Tepper pick with personal ties to Tepper too. I could also see Peyton Ramsey make a return if the Leftwich crew is the way Tepper goes.

Also, he has produced 9 GWD when the running game, coaching, and defense have lost control of the game. He accounts for being the major factor in 1 out of every 5 wins for the Ravens. His GWD% is 38% (this is what is expected from a good QB on a bad team). I believe he is worth the risk compared to going after a Darnold, Mayfield, or Watson. What concerns me is that his QB style is expected to be 9 seasons. Good pocket passers are 12 to 15 seasons. With 5 seasons under his belt, he is not a QB for a team rebuild. He is a plug and play QB for a team that has spent 2 to 3 seasons building a foundation for a QB. The Rams or 49ers would be good examples of a team that would benefit from a QB like Jackson. The Panthers do not have a contender foundation. They gave that up when they shipped off CMC and tossed out the Snow college speed D. There are no playmakers on offense and the defense will need a complete rebuild. The Panthers are set up with a good OL and some complimentary receivers with a few good defensive pieces for an NFL level defense. This team is better equipped to find a HC with NFL experience who has proven he can develop NFL QBs and go with a young QB to develop for his system in 2 seasons.

Burns is a pass specialist and not a complete NFL DE. He is a very good pass specialist. He was overrated in the draft coming out of college. At this point in his career, he does not appear to be getting any better against the run with his fundamentals. He is a playmaker for a championship team, but he is not a championship leader/captain. He has been pushed into roles as leader, run defense/containment and pass coverage. He is weak at these areas. He is best served as a pass specialist, playmaker, and role player. He is similar to Von Miller, but Von Miller at this late stage of his career is still better than Brian Burns. This is NOT hate. Burns has weaknesses and I believe a good coach would be honest about that to create a championship team. Burns, like CMC, are key pieces to a championship team imo, they are just not the foundational pieces you should build an offense or defense around.

He does have connections to Byron Leftwich. That is the only angle I have seen to taking on Wilks and making him interim HC. Leftwich will likely choose Wilks to be his DC where he ends up as a HC.

You need a LT who can let the QB play with patience against the top NFL edge rushers in the NFL. It did not matter who the QB was with what Hendrickson was allowed to do until he left the game in the 3rd quarter to celebrate his dominance.

Ickey and the RBs did not do PJ any justice in the first half. PJ is just a below average QB. DJ Moore should be bailing him out. Ickey should be keeping Hendrickson from being in PJs face for the entire 1st half. When PJ has to carry the offense, you know the players who are suppose to be NFL starters and 1st round picks are worse than a below average NFL QB.
