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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
