But take last year's roster/team when they were healthy (yes it's hard to imagine Horn healthy) and replace Darnold with CJ Stroud (or some other solid young QB). Add in a few FAs and mid/late draft picks and those roster/team SHOULD be competitive. The problem is they switched schemes to nullify the OL (our offensive strength), traded away the only true weapon on offense, replaced Foreman with Sanders etc...

lol yeah without a doubt to a degree. There are always some elements of playing to strengths in every roster. AT moving to the slot vs outside would be an example, moving to a 3-4 for Brown and Burns is another. Overlooking the skillset of his OL is by far the biggest mistake he has made this offseason. Lying about who helped design a playbook though would have no advantage whether it be PR or hype about the team. That's when things overblown by us fans and legit complaints get lumped into nonsense ones.

Which is why I'm not too concerned about what really thought about the roster/team before the season started. He and his staff developed an offense without taking into consideration the strength of the players on the roster.

Yeah I think he jumped the gun on changing the entire scheme before the roster was ready.

The guy that's having our OL playing the wrong scheme which is turning an actual strength to a weakness in an already depleted roster?

Yep I was typing similar. If we are rebuilding then do a legit rebuild.

If they do fire Fitt they should look at firing Reich and letting the new GM pick his HC. Honestly the best thing moving forward would hiring a director like many have stated to run things, having a committee (ran by new director) find a new GM and letting the new GM find his HC. I don't like pairing new GMs with old HCs and vise versa. Build a roster and offense around Young and see how he does the next year or two. If the new HC doesn't like what he see from Young after year 2 we will have our 1st rounder back to try again and let him pick his guy.

I wanted Ben Johnson, but yeah he gave us a no thank you. You would think Steichen would have been next on our list since he is similar to Johnson.

Howell

When does Haynes come back?

I liked him but he plays the slot which is the ONE position we are decent at thanks to AT.

I agreed he should be held accountable. No doubt. Sorry he laughed at you.

I don't think people are ok with that. Campen should be held accountable for the horrendous OL performance this year. I just think most professional coaches aren't going to interact with mad fans from the stands. He probably laughed it off because he had nothing to say nor should he say anything back.

Exactly. Such a pointless nonsense thing to argue about. It's not fighting the big corp or being edgy by challenging what narrative they are throwing our way. It just a pretty basic comment that makes perfect sense. Yes the OFFENSIVE coordinator probably helped create an OFFENSE with his OFFESINVE minded head coach. It's nothing groundbreaking and the average fan really doesn't give a poo.

Damn I wanted Bell to play. We need him back. Robinson didn’t play too bad in his limited snaps last week.

Everyone is now saying the same thing but trying to word it like they were correct. Brown did sit down and make out playbook WITH Reich and used Reich's offense as a base for his new offense. The Panthers site shared an interview where this is stated so it's not some coach speak PR BS nonsense that people on here love to cry about. It's literally what the team/staff is saying and it sounds like the truth. This is an offense designed by Reich AND Brown featuring a playbook designed by Brown AND Reich that is described as 60% Reich and 40% Brown. It's mostly shotgun because our QB is Bryce Young. There is no PR stunt, no lying/deceiving the public, just people on his misinterpreting EXACTLY what the team is saying. Jesus people everything about this 1-6 team isn't some conspiracy with ole Reich as the mastermind behind it.

Can she play LG?

They are making some career decisions. I’ve see DBs run away from that man and I don’t blame them.

He has 2 solid WRs too in Johnson and Pickens

Yes there was no deceit or PR whatever you call it. Brown creating this offense with Reich is exactly what Carolina is putting out. The article I posted is from the team site stating exactly that. So this offense is a Reich AND Brown offense with plenty of input from both people. What did the site say 60 Reich 40 Brown? You were saying it was a complete Reich offense because of shotgun. The shotgun formations are for our 5’10” QB who played nearly strictly out of shotgun in college. I’m with you in liking the coordinators better than the HC. I low key want Brown to crush it as our OC and take the HC job with Reich taking some organizational job similar to Arians in Tampa when Brady wanted a different coach.

So it’s not a 100% Reich offense and Brown wasn’t lying when he says he helped create it. Got it. This conversation/debate should be over then. Also Brown calling plays got Young hit 10 times. He might get hurt no matter who is calling plays behind this OL.

Yes you are right. The issue I have is people claiming Brown is lying for a PR stunt when he states he helped create the offense. The OC helped the offensive minded HC create an offense catered to their new QB. It’s logical and makes perfect sense. I don’t think Brown is lying his way through his interview on how he helped create this offense. I mean the offense has not been great so why pretend like you helped create it if you didn’t?

What percentage was Young in the shotgun in college? Both Brown and Reich have claimed they created this offense for Young. It’s not unusual to create an offense for your first round QB which appears to be what they are trying to do. If just the shotgun formation is the main reason behind your theory, I feel like Young debunks that pretty easily?

That’s kind of how I read it. He sat down with Reich to design this offense and our playbook. He talked in depth about it during his interview. These fan theories will never stop though. Reich wanted Stroud, Tepper forced Young on them, they faked Young’s injury to bench him, now the juiciest one yet…. Brown is lying about helping create this offense. I mean he is the offensive coordinator after all.
