He’s basically a decoy, and not a very good one at that as defenses know the ball is almost never going his way. In this, it’s hard to overstate just how important Coker is.

Only reason XL still gets a jersey on game day is draft politics. Some of his ish is cringe worthy and no aspect of his game has shown any improvement.

And as he proves time and time again, it’s not worth the gamble of throwing to him.

Chuba is much better in blitz pickup.

Both Coker and Tet would be over 1,000 yards. Tet would finish the season with >12 TDs, and be pro bowl bound.

Wat???!!!??? omg please don’t tell me Dave called a TO.

Please DC leave Chuba in the rest of the game

Coker is a GAMER

Nic having a DAY

To have any chance to win, Chuba has to be the only RB on the field for the rest of the game. Rico is a liability today.

And that is why Hubbard is the better RB. that was Rico’s guy

Wrong thread

Got that right.

I think they were playing all out for the sack, which I can appreciate the gamble. Sack = end of half. Try to throw it away with pressure in his face = pick 6 or grounding. Roughing the passer wouldn’t have been a big deal with such little time on the clock. Panthers hit a TD maybe 3 times out of 10 with that play.

Done with you bro.

Hurry up offense?!!? The hell you say

There is no more perfect of an analogy than this. Maybe the repo man, but Brawler is spot on.

Wat?!

An argument can even be made that Bryce has shown more personal improvement in his tenure here than Canales. I can’t name a single thing about DC that has improved.

And that is why the ‘blow it all up and start over’ methodology is a fools journey.

It’s a real kick in the nuts. Every time you think the coaching staff is finally ‘getting it,’ you realize that they’re not, nor are they any closer than they have been since the beginning. It makes you question everything about the team. What is real and what is not. I still hold true to my belief that the front office is adding good NFL talent to the roster, but that’s really about the only consistently improving aspect. One of the elephants in the room: Where is the damn pass rush? If the talent on D is improving, and it most certainly is, why on God’s green earth is this backsliding? The Panthers have NEVER been this bad at getting to the QB, so what’s the damn problem? Bryce is who he is. Game manager. JAG who will have a few games where he looks like that guy, but will quickly regress back to the mean. He has the talent around him, but the play caller still has no clue what to do and when to do it. We see the same BS every other week, and I can say with confidence that it is NOT Tepper this time. The wins have come in spite of coaching, not because. One of our studs players stepped up and had a DAY. Rico. Brown. Horn. Coker. Think about it. Who were the main ballers in Miami, Dallas, Green Bay and the Rams? Those games were not won on the X and O front. It was ALL individual effort from a few and everyone else just held their own. That’s not to say that the team lacks talent otherwise because it certainly does not. It means that coaching is completely inept in scheming players to be successful. Regardless of how the season finishes, it’s another year of fools gold. I’m tired of this coaching staff. I’m tired of Bryce. Everyone else can stay.

Yup. Top gear for top gear, panthers lose by 2 plus scores. High gear panthers vs an elite’s team middle gear is probably a 3 point game either way. High level Panthers football looks like the third quarter of the Rams game. This team has 2 very solid backs and a powerful line. That can make any game close.

This. If Bryce can just be a game manager and Canales leans in to the run game, this team can beat anyone in the league. Bryce can make clutch throws in clutch moments, but asking him to do it all game is a recipe for failure.

There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear… Bad and untalented teams don’t beat the Rams, Packers and Cowboys. Hell, even in our most dominant seasons those 3 wins would be very impressive. 3 of our losses were by the best teams in the AFC (Pats, Jags, Bills). They swept the falcons, our kryptonite team. Screwed the pooch in Nola and San Fran. Should have beat SF. That still stings. This has been one of the hardest schedules this team has had in recent memory. Going up against the best teams in the AFC and NFC, actually winning a few and now 2 wins away from the playoffs??? They used to be considered the team NOBODY with playoff aspirations wanted to play in December, and that rings true once again. It’s Far cry from the get right game they were not that long ago.
