Is there an easier way to collect a paycheck...

...than to be a #3 WR, or a #2 RB on the Carolina Panthers?


Well, maybe there is. Being a #4 WR or a #3 RB on the Carolina Panthers.

I get that CMC is unique, and our WRs are supposed to be good enough, and we're playing with a backup QB right now.

But, this has to end. Teams have started stopping some of the things we do with CMC, and we're not adjusting.

Poor coaching. Poor coordination. Poor use of personnel moves.

This points to three main people. And that is just on the offensive side of the ball.

Yeah, and it's the same thing I've been saying about Cam...  everyone seeing how horrible our team is in redzone and goal line playcalling now is because the staff was able to hide behind Cam for years.  And because they could, they rode him into the ground.  Now they're doing the same thing with CMC.  They get a talented player, whose skills can mask their ineptitude and deficiencies and they ride him into the ground without so much as a second look.  It's lazy, unimaginative coaching...  and it's why we have to have literally every call go our way yesterday, as though we were the Broncos in SB50, just to remain competitive with NO and ATL, bc their coaches actually coach and have figured Ron and his one-trick-pony-style out.

In all fairness, those calls that went our way did so because they were the right call.  The Saints made a lot of mistakes yesterday.  Had they lost, they would only have had to look in the mirror to figure out why.

True, but let's be honest, those same things have been going on in our games for YEARS, and we don't get the calls, so that's what we are accustomed to.

All I really know is after yesterday, I wouldn't mind getting Alex Kemp's crew again.

(heck, anybody but Jerome Boger)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
