Something unusual I noticed

1:55 left in the 3rd quarter

Houston is shuffling personnel. Carolina rushes to the line to take the snap and Houston has to burn a timeout. 

:28 left in the 4th: 

Houston gets the ball down by 6 but has no time outs.

I'm used to seeing that in a Panthers game. Just not used to it being the other team that had to burn the timeout.

Not trying to bash Cam but he never had the presence of mind to hurry up and snap the ball

If you are not trying to Bash Cam you don’t have to make the comment. let’s be happy we have 2 capable starting QB. This will always be Cam’s team. He is a League MVP and the franchise. If both QB are on the block an injured Cam Newton will bring back more assets.

It’s a legit observation. I have seen others here put forward the theory that this was due to Ron wanting to rest his defense, so Cam was directed to let play clock get down as far as possible. I think what we’re seeing with Allen strongly suggest Cam is mostly the impetus for the play clock frequently getting to zero and us having unnecessarily burn timeouts.

Having said that I would still hold the coaching staff partly responsible. If you don’t hold a franchise qb accountable to improve his pre snap routine by the time he’s 30, it makes me wonder how serious you are about holding him to the same level of accountability you hold others. Because this issue isn’t an occasional or trivial thing, as any serious Panthers fan can attest.

Was certainly refreshing to see 2 consecutive games where we salvage time outs and stay generally free of false starts.

Something equally important I've noticed is how rarely we've been penalized so far this season. We're tied with Indianapolis for least in the league with only 20 penalties called against us so far (they have been penalized 11 less yards, though). This team is very disciplined and playing the game right.

The truth hurts. It's no coincidence the past two weeks have shown a faster pace and no need to burn timeouts.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
