Voth: Proehl didn't really push receivers


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Discussing the Kelvin Benjamin weight issue during an interview with Chris Kroeger on WFNZ, new Panthers.com writer Bill Voth stated that previous Panthers wide receiver coach Ricky Proehl tended to coach as a "teammate/father figure" type of coach and didn't necessarily push his charges as hard as some might expect.

Voth further stated one of the big questions for the upcoming season will be whether new receiver coach Lance Taylor continues that style or becomes more of a drill sergeant.

Surprised? Appalled? Amused?

I'm not surprised and Lance Taylor doesn't exactly strike me as a hard case either. Maybe Cotchery will fill that role.

Consider though, that Taylor is used to working with Christian McCaffrey, whose work ethic is said to be really good.

Would Taylor be okay with others not putting in as much effort as his star pupil?

Lance Taylor was McCaffrey's coach in college, McCaffrey was known as somewhat of a hardass on pushing oneself (and others) as a player, maybe that has something to do with his coach's style?

Bonus: Cotchery was a father figure too, maybe his presence allows Lance to be tougher while still keeping the players happy?

Would love @Jeremy Igo take on this as well.  I really liked Proehl but did seem he got just a little to soft the last few seasons and you could tell with some of these guys like KB and Funchess.  They both have it in them, they look damn good in camp from reports.  But just seem to need help lighting a fire under their azz.

Im still not familiar with the new coach and his personality

Not surprised at all. I'd been saying for awhile that I felt like most Panthers fans vastly overrated Proehl as a coach. No receiver we drafted noticeably improved under him. Also, he has a son playing WR at UNC. His previous "coaching experience" was exactly that - as a father figure, quite literally. I'm not so sure that his "retirement" was by choice.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
