Just spoke with Gil Brandt

Called in to Late Hits on my way home tonight.  I love Gil.  I wanted to know his thoughts on the Panther offense.  He said these things...

Bills are a lot better than most people think.  McDermott's knowledge of our offense a big factor last week.

Need to get more out of CMC.  Benjamin has improved...Funchess has to keep improving. Of course tough to replace Greg.  At the end said need to see better play "out of my friend" (Cam)

I did not ask but he said that he believes the Panthers are a playoff team this year.  Alex Marvez agrees.

Love Brandt as well. 

I'm shocked at all the negativity surrounding the Panthers. 

Most importantly we're 2-0, but we've been dominate on defense and average on offense. If Cam hits two wide open throws in the SF and Bills game, and Benji holds onto that TD people would be ranking us up w/ one of the best teams in the league. 

Offense is going to only get more cohesive as we go along. Losing Olsen is a blow but it could be a blessing in disguise a la Benji two years ago. This could really be Funchess' chance to step up

I agree with you. The offense will be fine as we go. I have faith in Matso to fix this line. Look what he has done with what he was given. Cam is improving and you know this is killing him more than anyone. He needs to stop relying on CMC all the time and use him more as a decoy. I think he is best as a receiver more than a running back. Unless it is on screens and short passes.

Finally, a media pundit acknowledged we played a good defensive team and Mcd knew us well.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
