Basically, hit gold on FA's last year. Struck out this year but didn't have many other options because of Hurney. Pass rush and O line biggest weaknesses. Says Cam is shaky but its not Cam's fault, and questions why Rivera left him in last night.

Nothing we really haven't heard before. Personally I wish he went more into the coaching and specifically the offensive play calling's shortcomings, and I definitely don't think leaving Newton in last night has been RR's only questionable decision so far this year.

Where does he get that Fernando Velasco is the replacement for Jordan Gross?

 

He explains in his footnote:

 

Outside of a couple of asterisked changes,1 these are like-for-like swaps at the same position.
Gross retired and was replaced at left tackle by Byron Bell, who moved over from right tackle. Nate Chandler, who mostly played right guard last season, moved to right tackle. Velasco has eventually become the one who stepped in at guard. I’m not cheating here to try to replace Gross with an inferior player; Chandler has been abysmal, Bell has been alternately injured and ineffective, and backup David Foucault has flailed. If anything, Velasco’s been the best of that group.

Assuming of course he agrees that the playcalling is a big problem..  Funny how most folks talking about the Panthers outside the huddle are not blaming the play calling but player execution and lack of talent.

Gettleman had over 13 million to spend he chose to waste it on hardy and pocket the rest the hurney excuses have to stop he is part of the problem and so is Gettleman thus far

He couldn't have known Hardy would get suspended though.  

 

I do agree that the Hardy tag was kind of a luxury signing for us however, even before the suspension. When he plays, he's clearly a great player, but did we really need nearly $30M invested in the Dline when it means having DeCoud/Harper at safety and Bell/Chandler at tackle?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
