I see DeAngelo and Stewart bust 10-yard runs...

...and I wonder why the Panthers keep getting away from that. It really boggles the mind. You have three solid running backs. If you wanted to, you could run all game long on people. Why do the Panthers put the ball in Jake's hands? Is it to justify the big contract they gave him?

and their decision to keep starting him + their confidence in him.

Yep and from what I can tell there's no such thing as a "one-dimensional" team, because without a passing AND running attack it's way too easy to take away that one dimension.

So basically, the Panthers are a no-dimensional team. I just realized how much that sucks!

They had no problem running the ball last year, and I still see Double Trouble breaking off big run after big run this year. And I've seen Jake take what the defense gives him. But then the Panthers abandon that, just like they did with the 7-0 lead over Arizona in the playoffs.

You cannot run the ball successfully when teams cram the box and dare you to throw. Until we develop a consistent passing game, the running game will suffer greatly.

The Jets did against Buffalo. We could have easily done it. Their offense wasn't going to do anything, if we grinded it out all game, by the end we would have rolled over them. But no. We passed 44 times.

The consistent passing game should be short dump offs to the RBs and the WRs doing hitch routes 5 yards beyond the LOS. Jake can't throw it accurately longer than 5 yards...its the sad reality.

Because Jake throws pick after pick and then we get behind and are forced to throw. In turn, he throws more picks.

That is the post of the year. Agree.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By cranky · Posted

      Purdy only passed for 127 yards week 18 and then only passed for 108 yards in the playoffs. In those two games he had 0 TD's and 2 INT's and a fumble. Mayes in the Superbowl had a total of 63 yards with 0 TDS at the 13 minute mark in the fourth quarter. He only had success when the Seahawks went into prevent defense. Philip Rivers only had 127 total yards in week 15. Boomer with the Vikings had 126 yards and 4 INTS in week 13. Cousins had 167 yrds week 14 and while it was over 150 yards, he also had 2 INTs with 0 TDs. Yeah Young didn't have a good game but neither did any of these other QBs. And while he had the lowest yardage, he was the only other QB that at least had a TD - Philips had the other.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      He has to have a great year not a great few games...probably gonna have to finish with a winning record too for the first time as well. Front office has all the leverage, havent got much on the return for trading up in the draft no matter what bryce fans want to say. They have no reason to offer an extension right now. All the talk about his personality is just deflection off the talk about money. You can be the nicest guy in the world, it doesnt win games or make you a top 10 QB. They know that, spending all that money on the O line and drafting multiple offensive players in the first round of past drafts says a QB should have better production than what we have seen so far. We have to lean on a run game more to be productive in games rather than a qb we traded up to no.1 for. You can easily draft a more talented QB on a cheaper contract and get the same results bryce has given you so far. Thats the truth.
