Part of the article:

"Here are some other items of interest involving these teams.

11-1: Carolina’s record in December the past three years. Newton has played in all but one of those games, winning 10.

5:7: The Falcons’ record during the same time frame. That included a 2-2 mark in 2012 when they finished with a 13-3 record and advanced to the NFC title game.

3-4: Ron Rivera’s record against the Falcons. The Panthers have won three of the last four meetings between the teams.

8-5: Mike Smith’s record against Carolina.

21-10: Ryan’s touchdown passes and interceptions in 13 games against Carolina. He’s completed 63.7 percent of his passes (295-for-463).

11-10: Newton’s touchdown passes and interception in seven games against the Falcons. Five of those interceptions came in the first two games. He’s completed 59.4 percent of his passes (139-for-234)."

Stat that sticks out to me is Ryan throwing 10 more touchdowns than Cam in their meetings against each other.

Did they compare rushing TDs? Surely cam has some of those. Or just rushing TDs by running backs. I would think we might have an edge there since ATLs rushing game has been trash for years now. Also how about the pick 6 that Ryan threw last year?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
