"So with six weeks until the first training camps open, the competition committee must decide whether to impose an unwanted obligation on coaches or risk a significant rise in stoppages during a game's most dramatic moments."

I think the competition committee should leave it on the coaches. The coaches might not want it, but making tough decisions, game altering decisions, kind of comes with the gig.

Some coaches feel like they already have enough problem-solving/logic riddles to work out in crucial situations. That’s a ridiculous perspective. In an age of analytics and specialization, having this option at your disposal is ideal.

They need to drop it entirely. The NFL still can't fully define a catch and trying to take it out of the realm of being a subjective call has just made it all the worse. How the hell are they going to objectively define a PI when they can't define a catch?

Exactly. It has been and always will be a subjective call, same as holding on the offensive line. If you review everything, you are constantly going to be handing out PI calls. It's absurd.

Don't drop it all. Get their ass in gear, fix the rule and let the plays be reviewable. Anything to keep the refs from deciding the games. This is a huge opportunity to move the sport forward and make a fairer game.

The problem is that having the refs decide the games will always happen when you have reviews of inherently subjective calls. It would be the same equivalent of the NBA allowing video reviews of all hand checking calls. It isn't going to move the sport forward, it is going to make it damn near unwatchable

I don't think the refs or coaches can handle another task on the field, but I could possibly get behind the "eye in the sky" review. It's at least conceivable for the NFL since it's play based instead of continuous. Coming from HQ, it could be somewhat regulated to keep games from ballooning.

I guess my point here is that although this blew up because of the Saints(which was awesome and hilarious), it brought a huge problem in the NFL to the forefront. Pass interference penalties are a huge problem in the game and have too much impact. It does need to be addressed and it would go along way for the fans if we held the officials accountable to their mistakes. And after being a Panthers fan my whole life I can confidently recount many many times where one review could have changed the game and or a season.

This kind of rule change levels the playing field for a franchise like us. We have been doormats to the officials and NFL narratives for years. You only have to look at SB 50, or 2014 playoffs vs SF to see for yourself.

People say human error is part of the game but that is just an excuse to see a team get screwed. The officiating should always be progressing. And if it's makes the game a little longer than so be it. If it keeps Cam from being head hunted or Eric Reid being unfairly flagged DPI because a ref doesn't like him then I don't care. I care more about the Panthers winning than an extra 20 minutes.

All they have to do is single out the penalties that are challengeable and or eliminate PI as a spot foul.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
