Leadership, and lack thereof

We are now experiencing what is called a void in leadership.

 

There is seemingly no leadership on the offensive side of the ball, from the coaches to the practice squad.

There is no leadership in the Front Office, with no team President, and an interim GM.

There is no leadership from the head coach, as he refuses to accept the glaring weaknesses on his team, and refuses to modify his rigid stance on modern football.

 

So, we have a pretty well constructed team, with no current leadership.  

This exactly what you can expect until that changes.

I couldn't agree more but you forgot that we have bad leadership in the owner's suite (for a while now), i.e. inserting yourself and your emotions at the wrong times. I can't decide which is worse! 

I was lumping JR's dumbass in with the Front Office lack of leadership.

Where?

Stew, Kalil, Olsen, Cam, Trai, Norwell?

They are great players, the other players look up to them, but I don't see the leadership.  At least not right now.

So, what does Luke or TD do that you don't see from Cam, Olsen, Cam, Trai or Norwell? Everyone leads in different ways. The defense appears to have "leaders" because they are a good unit, and that side of the ball is filled with probably our best players.

This franchise is ran like a backwoods mom and pop shop. JR doesn't know what in the world he is doing. He keeps hiring these stupid defensive coaches and wants to play football like it's the 1970's. The lack of leadership starts at the top.

Then our dumb 1970’s defensive minded head coach hires a 1970’s offensive minded offensive coordinator.

Like Christ, no wonder Beane said “f*ck it”.

Brandon Beane would probably make a suggestion and look around the room and see a bunch of reactions like he was speaking french

I think our true issue on offense, is there's just a lack of talent. Either lack of talent or pieces that don't fit, and we have now and have had management that didn't know how to build around the talent that we do have. I don't think it's a leadership issue, but then again, I could be wrong

They are all great/good players, but that, and the C on your chest don't make you a leader.

The void on the offensive side of the ball starts with Ron, then Shula.

I do want to see Cam, Trai, and whomever else step up in that department though, may go a long way.

See, I don't understand this. What makes them not a leader but Luke and/or TD leaders? All the rah rah stuff you see them two doing, you see Cam and/or Olsen doing.

Cam accounts for what, 80% of our offense? He steps up and carries the load, because that is what leaders do. Cam is out there taking shot after shot, playing with injuries and such but he's not a leader? Players don't look up to him? Cam and Olsens side of the ball isn't as good as the defensive side of the ball, so of course the defense looks better, and it looks like the defense has "leaders".

      I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
