We may likely be top-10 considering our remaining schedule. Think we’ll be in really good position for Reese.

I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1
Bear Hands replied to Daddy_Uncle's topic in Carolina Panthers
All depends on who is there when we pick. Hard to say but I’m open to a QB in this next draft. Whether it’s a low risk 4th to be our new backup or Mendoza or Moore. -
The board is worth about $15k at most, maybe $10k… and he probably wouldn’t let it go for much less than $30k. Anyone claiming they’re putting anything substantial down for a dying platform of Xennials and random old people that figured out the internet is either insane, lying, or both. BigKat has never been serious.

I checked and it looked like a mouse got into the server closet and chewed the Bryce conduits. It didn't take long, they were really short. about that "update"...

yep I want a functioning passing game

"Stop overreacting. It's only one loss. The season isn't dead."
Bear Hands replied to R0CKnR0LLA's topic in Carolina Panthers
We know what's coming... 8-9 or better would surprise me. We'll probably get 2-3 more wins, all in division. ATL, TB wk18 (bc they're resting), & split Saints 5-7 wins coming again. Pick 7-12 -
Bear Hands started following The Only Dalton Worth Watching...

Sorry Andy. Hate bad endings, but that was atrocious today. The games played last year after the Raiders were terrible. Today was unspeakably bad. You'd expect to at least see the rhythm and movement upfield from a vet at his level. And with that, this is officially Bryce's season to close out. This all but cements Andy is gone after this season. So now, the light is shining on Bryce for a solid close out. Question is - what will Bryce be looking like after the week off and do we can Andy early?

Damning indictment of Bryce Young
Bear Hands replied to raleigh-panther's topic in Carolina Panthers
What Andy did today only clarifies Andy is not a sufficient backup. It does nothing regarding Bryce. Bryce was banged up, we saw what over the hill Dalton looks like. Onto the Pack -
We're a below average squad but when our defense and running game shows up, we can win games. We cannot win games passing. We can not out-maneuver teams. We do not have playmakers. We had a mini-streak snapped due to a terrible gameplan and terrible QB play.

Dalton is not as good as our sometimes above average to mostly below average QB play. We should of had a better depth situation figured out. If this is how Dalton looks in live action, it should be noticeable every week in practice.

If you think in sequence, it’s part of a bigger cycle/D vs O chess battle. You had the early 2010s offensive boom, spreading the field.. so it was responded to in large part w/2 high shell and zone cover concepts preventing teams from beating over the top (Fangio, Flores, etc) So then offenses started getting creative with stretch concepts, motions, misdirection (Shanny, McVay, etc). In addition, the offenses with mobile QBs incorporated more read-option and pistol. The defensive response to that was diversifying and blending schemes even more. Nickel (and variations) became used more than base packages. And they took those Fangio concepts and started disguising them given the personnel was much more fluid. Simulated pressures that drop into zone are all over the place these days. The new offensive response? That’s kind of where we are. For example- McVay has started deploying a lot more gap in his offense has changed a lot. Right now, offenses across the league are kind of in the response stage. Some still have the burners who can take the top off, but the primary weapon tends to be this Outside/Slot combo guy (I.E JSN, Puka, St Brown etc) That’s who’s thriving. The short - defenses kind of have the edge in the league wide chess battle. But it doesn’t mean it’s staying that way. Could honestly see the deep ball come back in a response. I just hope we exist in this chess game and aren’t stuck in the kids box just trying to emulate it.
