Hidden Truths Carolina Panther Flaws

EVERY TEAM HAS FLAWS. Luckily, out of our entire defense, ours is our freaking Nickel. We've had one bad game(out of the last four) with a rusty but resurgent CJ, Star coming off of a busted ankle, and getting surprised by two early scores from an angry, eager Saints defense. Everyone on that defense knows they can and will play better, and I highly doubt they'll come out like that again. 

Our biggest flaws are a sometimes suspect Nickel package, a speed WR that only catches 2 of 4 TDs, and that's about it. People have to nitpick because that's what you do to an undefeated team.

Could we stand to be better in certain areas? Absolutely, but none of those areas is going to be THE reason we don't make it to or win a Super Bowl.

I agree, all teams have flaws.

We have several too.  All is about can a team exploit them and does it fall within something they have the talent to execute.

 

 

but, we have always been heavy zone team.  it isn't like we are being forced to play it.  That is the core of what our DC does

Every team has flaws (like mos everyone is saying). The thing is, when your the best, everyone is going to hate you and pick at you. For example, on Around the Horn the were saying how bad the defense is for Golden state. Said things like they are too small not physical blah blah blah. Barely said anything good. They are the best team in basketball by far. But, because they kick ass, people try to pick at them to find some flaw. Let them. Oh, Connor Orr and Chris Simms play with cabbage patch kids.

It has come to the point now where I really enjoy seeing names around here that I remember seeing back in 2010 when I was just a lurker.

We played Drew Brees at home, with most of his offense healthy, and the team needing to make a statement moving forward. This game was the pinnacle of their season and it showed. Move on.

I think JNo did cheat on the one touchdown vs. the Saints. He is probably getting impatient because he hasn't had an interception in so long but he needs to maintain his discipline.

I also think the Arizona Cardinals have enough weapons on offense to bust our zone. They can send Brown deep to stress our safeties then work Fitz and Floyd with that extra space. I really do see them as our most dangerous foe.

Nah, just double Olsen, stack the box and keep Cam in the pocket. So simple that we're really 0-12 if you take away all the points we scored.

Shhhh!!!!!! WTH ya trying to do man. Every other previous teams fanbase new how to stop out O. Do you want to give the blueprint to the rest of the teams on our schedule.

Funny since Bree's had a 31.6 passer rating vs the blitz he used quick passes to beat our zone...

Completely agree. The Saints game plan was a complete gamble. There was never a chance for the DL to get to Brees. Brees knew where he was going with the ball before the snap and took 2 seconds to let that ball fly. It was up to the receivers to be where they were suppose to be and make the play.

They were going after Colin Jones and Finnegan on horizontal routes in man coverage, and they were attacking the safeties deep in the seams on single deep zone. When the Panthers were in cover 2 zone looks they went for the pocket near the sideline between the safety and the corner - betting on the safeties being unable to make it to the sideline in time. Brees made the read on the defense and threw the ball to a spot (not a receiver).

While this game plan is a definite gamble against the Panthers D (Cowboys used the same game plan and it failed), this may be the only way to beat the Panthers. Even if this works well enough to score some points, the opposing team still has to deal with Cam Newton in a shoot out.

This^^. I will also say, I can't see our LBs giving Palmer all day to set back and pick us apart. I mean he got the arm, but as far as mobility , he's no Cam Newton.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
