Mike McCoy criticism

Why is everybody ripping on ex-quarterback coach Mike McCoy? He helped Jake develop into a more-than-servicable starter for several years. Remember when Jake had one of the top playoff ratings of all time?

Besides, his wife always came to training camp in see-through attire and no undergarments. :D

Which Jake? Good game jake or bad game down into the depths of hell jake?

Jake was among the top two or three QBs when he hurt his elbow in Atlanta two years ago. At that point, if he had never come back to play again, you would have said "Man, we got a whole hell of a lot out of that guy considering he sat behind Aaron Effing Brooks for however long."

You know, when you think about it, this all should be painfully obvious. You had a quarterback who wasn't the most physically gifted to begin with. He injures his elbow...Tommy John surgery. Why didn't we all see this coming? Maybe the question shouldn't have been "Can he make it back?" but rather "Why try?" Seriously.

Elbow surgery for a QB is like knee or ankle surgery for an RB. He's got to feel that throw as if nothing ever happened to his elbow before.

I personally don't think Jake's issues are tied to his elbow. He played pretty well last year except for like 2 or 3 regular season games and of course the AZ game... then he comes out this year and stinks it up right to start with. I think that there's some sort of mental block/confidence thing that he's going thru. The AZ game really shook him and the Philly game turned out the same and he looked like a man in shock out there on the field.

Several Panther coaches noted that Jake's arm appeared stronger after his surgery and recovery. Prior to his surgery, Jake was basically playing with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament, which made his arm weaker. Not to mention the pain involved in warming up the arm to throw. I suspect Jake's slight loss of arm strength has more to do with the aging process, than lingering effects form his surgery. Jake's main problem is mental imo. We all do stupid sh#t from time to time if we panic. The key is to make Jake feel safe behind the o-line, and give him confidence building passes.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
