Christian McCaffrey “Extremely excited” about Joe Brady hire.

I would love to see the possibilities with Cam, a 1st round LT (or Andrew Witworth as a stop gap, along with a 2nd round center who plays guard for one year if we went DT with the first pick)

He'll have a lot of success in Brady's system while not being ran into the ground the way previous regimes did him

I don't know.....seemed like a shot at the Turner's to me.

Could be. I think the offensive play calling from the previous regime wore thin on everyone. The Panthers have had a “feed the stud” philosophy on offense for a long time; the diversity of this new offense will be refreshing for players and fans.

Agreed. Team knew exactly what we were doing game after game after game. CMC was so good he produced great numbers regardless, but that does not equal wins.

I don't see that. He was just talking from first person. Turner's were not bad it was Rivera's part that was not held up. Not sure how you spend that much on defense and still have a better offense.

I think everyone is excited about the idea of something different

[Mr. Scot]

The thing about a player as dangerous as McCaffrey is that the threat of them allows you to get the ball to other people.

We used McCaffrey plenty this year. I'm not sure we used the threat of McCaffrey as much as we should.

We did that more when Cam was the QB, I don't think fans realize how much the offense was dialed back for a back up. In 2018 I can think of several plays off the top of my head that utilized CMC as a decoy, even in his rookie year (2017) with Shula still calling the plays it existed. 

[Waldo]

Im excited. I have dreamed for years of a staff that was excelent at developing players and putting them in a position to succeed based on what they could actually do and not some preordained philosophy that constantly fails.

I just hope we can keep him around for 3 years.

Yea I remember the Patriots game back in 2017. There was a play where they faked a screen pass to McCaffrey on the right side and threw a screen to Fozzy Whitaker on the left side and he cruised in for an easy TD. 

Maybe the offense was dialed back a bit but I can't see why they couldn't have run stuff like that with Kyle Allen. He wasn't dumb, he just had trouble holding onto the ball because he has small hands and he threw stupid INTs.

Again, no idea why it was held back in that capacity, that just seemed to be the case, most of the ''misdirection'' if you will was from the Pistol, and with Cam you also have the Read Option to be concerned with as well. If you look at the play, even though there wasn't a hand-off fake, just being in that formation presents a key the defense still has to read on top of adding the misdirection.
