It is really, really discouraging watching the amazingly sophisticated schemes and play-calling by teams with coaches who don't live in daily fear of the NFL's liberal passing rules.

But, according to Ron, in order for us to evolve on offense we need to... run the ball more.

Those QBS don't have Shula as OC

Newton had by far the worst completion percentage of qualifying QBs -- the second worst was nearly 4 p.p. better. You can't blame that sort of statistical deviance on an OC. 

 

And perhaps Shula avoids calling for short, accurate passes for the same reason Kyle Shanahan doesn't call QB keepers for Matt Ryan.

I hate the modern NFL. Rules favoring offenses have gotten to be so fuging absurd and ridiculous. Rivera I think would be one of the best coaches of all time back in the day. Unfortunately the game has changed. Still think he's the guy and can have success in the modern NFL, but he needs to make the tough decision to change the entire offense, and it starts with Shula and Dorsey.

Atlanta is winning because they are effective at running the ball with Coleman and Freeman

Dallas is the one see because of their run game

New England looks invincible because of the duo of Blount and Dion Lewis

Laveon Bell has single handidly changed the steelers season

 

Ron is right. We need to run the ball better to lengthen drives and take some pressure off Cam.

QBs all also convert ~70% of their passes instead of ~50%

Our offense doesn't require 70% cmp percentage. A lot of that is dump offs. Cam's highest was 61.7 in 2013. What our offense requires though is a complete o-line and a competent OC that calls the right plays especially in crucial situations. With our tackles and our OC (and not to mention drops), it makes running our offense harder than it should be.

Our offense also requires more intermediate and deep throws than these other offenses. I know you like taking shots at Cam, and he had a bad year, but if he's between 58 - 62% were good.

The huddle tells itself so many lies so many times it starts to believe them. 1 of which is Shula being our biggest problem. 

Seattle fans are singing the same blues about their OC after they couldn't make adjustments yesterday to offset their outmatched o-line.

Patriot fans might be doing the same if Osweiller wasn't such a terrible QB. Even the great Bellicheat and Mcdaniels couldn't stop a superior d-line from harrassing Brady and causing him to match his season total Interceptions yesterday.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
