if any of you do mock drafts online, I stumbled across MOCK DRAFT HERO and really like it.  FWIW

100% true. I think he is also just real world, country dumb too.

Nice guy and all that--pure and too innocent for the league, perhaps.  but i do not sense the passion for the game.  Just my hunches.

I cannot recall a first round draft pick this overwhelmingly football stupid.

Efe Obada had more football awareness and his football background was almost nothing.

the signs were there.  He told the media that Morgan was going to pick him.  Pure, unbridled, dumbassery.

Yeah, this was 100% on Bryce. For some reason he came out being checkdown king Sunday. Didn't really even look at deeper routes. Just checked it down as quickly as possible. He CAN NOT be a franchise QB playing this inconsistently. The confusion for me is that some games he looks at deeper routes and then some games he just ignores everything over 15 yards. I don't understand this dude anymore. Honestly thinking he's broken at this point. He WAS NOT like this at Alabama. They'll pick up his 5th year option, but there's no way he's extended. No way. 

I try to look at him through rose-colored glasses when I can because I think they are going to "die on this hill (Bryce).  At least bring in some comp.  The mentor/best buddies backup situation is not healthy competition, and I will be pissed if we give Bryce a $50m per contract.  I am in the minority when I see the potential for our future QB in this draft.  Players like Mateer, for example, from Oklahoma.  A substandard 2025 has dropped his stock to where he could fall to day 3, but his skill set, demeanor, and stats from Washington State tell me there is something there.  I think he could be there in round 3 if he comes out.  I would feel better about Bryce if I knew we were developing plan B.

Panthers are one of the least penalized team in the league despite the tinfoil hat threads that dont look at the available data.

There are some mind numbingly stupid penalties but our main issue is talent. Im not sure IQ  is Bryces issue. It's physical limitations and being meek.

 

Not all mental mistakes are penalties.  Things like giving a 15-yard cushion when the first down marker is at 10.  Not dragging your feet near the sidelines.  Giving up contain to chase the dive on play action.  Running bad routes.   Not reading quick enough.  Taking bad angles.  etc.  I see your point, but hesitation is not a penalty, nor is confusion.

I agree that talent is our main issue.  We are not getting our money's worth out of our OL, imo.  We need a #2 and don't really scare people at TE.  Our LBs are weak and we have an issue at S.  We get little pressure on the QB.

If they close it out with the Bucs and end up with a winning record is this the dumbest playoff team we’ve ever had?

Bryce makes bonehead decisions constantly.

Jaycee as of late commits stupid penalties at the worst times possible.

Icky or some other OL false starts at horrible times.

I’ve watched players run to the wrong side of blocks and lose yardage when they could have run farther.

And XL, do I really need to say anything here?

Yes.  They are not very smart.

What are his strengths? So I know. 

This is what I have…

Good at healing a bad ankle.  

Good at dump offs and under ten yard throws.

Hands off okay. 

Can gain some yards on the ground. 

Can make some nice lofted touch passes, on a good day.

Has a few good days a year   

Doesn’t get himself arrested for stupid poo, no bad headlines. 
 

Trying to be charitable. 

I don’t see what we are doing that does not play to his strengths. What strength am I missing that we should be building around, that we aren’t? 


 

 

He can move in the pocket.  He is good at handoffs.   He can throw a good deep ball at times.  I am more critical of Bryce than most on here--my perspective was based on the fact that we are probably staying with him and it is time to move on from bitching about him all the time.  Having said all that, We are not playing to his strengths when we don't run Rico.  We are not playing to his strengths when we give the ball to Chuba up the gut on fourth and 1 with 9 guys in A gap. 

I am of the mindset that we draft a QB later and develop him.  There are some who had bad years and their stock is down.  LSU, Oklahoma, Miami, Penn State etc. all have QBs who, if the enter the draft, they could use a season of watching and holding a clip board.

stop the nonsense

stop the embarrassment

go back to watching The View with your girlfriend's other boyfriend

This team has not sniffed the playoffs in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic display of professional football

Do I think this team if they get in the playoffs will win the Super Bowl, absolutely not

Would I be excited that this team made the playoffs, hell yea and deep down you'd give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to go watch the playoff game

 

We need to win the division to set the blocks for next year

We have an up and coming coach who needs a mentor in his corner

a STUD for a GM who is COOKING

a wrecking ball for a DT

a stud for a corner

a young buck for a DE who is just a rook

a true #1 WR

a solid OL

a QB who is progressing

 

It's not perfect, it's not beautiful but I am beyond elated with the direction this team is going

 

I will be in Tampa cheering on the boys to bring the division back to Charlotte and so should you!

 

And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post.... have a blessed day 

Second cousin.   I am not a sicko.

I was not watching for it yesterday, but getting separation vs a zone coverage is simply finding the open spots and the QB must read the WR's ability to find the open spots and anticipate.  Did they stay in zone all day?  

We need a third WR that the defense respects.  We need a qb who throws the ball downfield.  We need an OL that can pass block.  

If the problem is his brain, maybe we can fix it.  If the problem is his heart, he is done.

To a degree. Their d line manhandled our oline. Not sure we'd beat them once in five attempts 

If we don't fumble, throw the pick, or decide that a facemask is the best way to get a player out of bounds on 3rd and 49, then we could have beaten them.  To your point, Corbett was getting eaten alive when I watched him. Moton had a bad game.

Fellas, I think we see the scapegoat the cuppers will use this week

It was beyond stupid.

Our dumbassery gave them the game.  We did not lost to Seattle--we lost to Carolina

Thanks Horn!!! Enjoy your $100m contract

that is what indecision will do for you

Bryce+Chuba+Horn= 17 Seattle points.

I have said this on these gameday threads a lot--the Panthers are a stupid football team.  The make stupid and unnecessary mistakes.

Makes you wonder about Horn's relationship with Vegas.

tackle low idiot

Horn drops an interception, gets a backbreaking, unnecessary penalty.

Chuba fumbles--costs us 7

Bryce's pick--costs us 7

These are the LEADERS

Horn is stupid

Brown forced Darnold into that sack

IMHO, they are playing X out of position. He should be a slot.

I like Coker there but wonder how he would do as the pure 2.  He doesnt have as many yards (remarkably, but it is close) as XL, but he has fewer targets. 

Get this--before today, he had 25 receptions on 34 targets.

XL has 31 catches on 59 targets (through 16 weeks).  The yardage is nearly identical to Coker. 

Why does XL have nearly twice as many targets?  

Good.  Wildcat offense

Tremble for the TD
