Per J.Person. "They where playing well before injuries". Take it for what it's worth. I thought Chandler had a chance to improve after camp but he hasn't and Bell is Bell. Maybe he should ask Cam about how well they have been playing.

I don't get you guys. We have no backup tackles and can't afford to get a good one. Do you expect him to keep shitting on them in pressers? What is that going to achieve? It will do nothing but break the teams morale. You put a brave face on it and when you have options you move on.

Wow. I don't know what to say. All I know is that as a manager, if I don't bold my team accountable, at some point I will be held accountable. I hope that holds true in this case as well.

You don't fire a staff member without an adequate replacement. That's bad management. Also you don't continually deride an employee for bad performance. None of us would enjoy working for a boss who is telling us everyday we suck.

These isn"t pee wee league football. Grown men making mega bucks that should be held accountable. At least don't BS and try to hide the obvious and say they are playing well....how about maybe "room for improvememt?

This isn't some office job. Even these UDFA's are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to play this game. The "he's a nice guy though" reasoning for keeping clearly underperforming players around is a big part of why we've never had back to back winning seasons before.

"KB needed to make that catch" - everyone flips out about calling him out.

"Bell and Chandler are being hampered by injuries and we have no back ups" - unacceptable to stand up for them.

 

Ron can only do so much with what he has... Dave can only get so many players at a time... Players can only be so good... Coaches can only teach so much. We are what we are.

Someone mentioned lining the TEs up in the backfield on obvious pass situations. What about Chandler? He is supposed to be super athletic for his size and obviously isn't a stranger to position changes. Why not line him up back there for pass protection or even as a normal fullback? Other than screens we aren't using the backs a safety valves anyways.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
