When to gamble

You go for two when your team is out matched. Knowing your chances are minuscule in overtime. Dont give me the minute on the clock bit either. Changes nothing! Do you want a 50/50 against the Lions or show your ilk in overtime that you are the better team. Havent been a Ron hater either. I screamed at the TV when we lined up for it. Praised the football gods when the timeout was called, knowing Ron would come to his senses. As Al Bundy would say Sstttriiikkee! River Boat Ron has become Short Bus Ron. Pathetic on every level and for the fools blaming Cam for missing the pass, (not a Cam nut hugger either) well he shouldn't have been put in the situation to begin with. Strap up your safe helmet Ron. You bafoon!

The D had held at points and they were down the best WR they had and best RB. Even if we scored the 2 point conversion they had over a minute and three timeouts to get a field goal to win. Either way it would be on the D to stop then for a win which is why going for 2 was an insane decision. You just took the onlychance you had which was relying on your Defense away. If GANO cannot make a 2nd extra point he should have been cut that’s what he gets paid millions to do for a living.

I have said this for yrs Ron isn' a great coach. Talent evaluation is poor we have stumbled into playing the talent we have and even if u say Ron does not decide who is on the field well he decides who coaches the players and evaluates them. Every since he has been here it has been then same. Poor evaluation period. Time management why call a timeout just to say good luck with the 2pt conversion cause any coach with a brain plays for the overtime the momentum was in our favor. Again another poor decision. Last week he challenged a ball placement that wasn't even important inches from a 1st down and we have 2 downs to get the inches. Today possible out of bounds catch on Detroit no challenge. I mean what drug is he on during the games. I need to get some of it while I watch the panthers games.

Does research and stats really in truly say it's best to go for it when you're on the road? Or did some coach say it 60 years ago and everyone took it as gospel? I'd like to know.

All I know is ... kick the XP, Detroit can beat you with a FG in the last minute.

Make the conversion, Detroit can beat you with a FG in the last minute.

Miss the conversion ... you lose.

I don't really give a s--t about the stats, to be honest.

You shouldn't be conservative all the time.  Likewise, you shouldn't be aggressive all the time.  The key to success is having the wisdom to know when to do what.

The sad truth of the Panthers right now is that whichever path we choose, it has a tendency to be the wrong one.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
