Panthers ranked last in continuity....

No shock at all, but The Athletic ranked the Panthers dead last in the league in continuity, and it isn't close at all. 

Quote

 

32. Carolina Panthers (15.3)

The score in parentheses is not a typo. The Panthers are last by a wide margin. They are the only team in the league with a new head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and starting quarterback. They bring back just 57.6 percent of their offensive snaps (29th) and 34.2 percent of their defensive snaps (32nd). Ownership invested in Matt Rhule for the long-term, but fielding a competitive team, given the turnover on the roster and the unique circumstances of this offseason, will present a huge challenge.

 

The Patriots are ranked second to last with a score of 51, over three times the score of the Panthers. lol

Interesting that The Athletic is basically reprinting an article that was on ESPN a couple months ago. The exact same content. Defensive and offensive snaps/starters and coaching turnover. The scoring is different, of course, but we were dead last by far in ESPN’s as well. I know I posted a link to it in one of the off season how will we do threads.

Teams can turn it around quickly with good QB play an an opportunistic defense.

The Panthers offense could rank in the top half of the league pretty easily, and maybe even be top 10.

If the defense can force turnovers, the Panthers might be surprising. I know the defense is insanely young and inexperienced, but flukier things have happened.

I just look at what the 2008 Falcons were able to accomplish. Completely fell apart amidst the Michael Vick scandal and Bobby Petrino quitting on the team. They draft Matt Ryan, adopt a ground-and-pound offense and poof, they're back in the playoffs the next season.

Bridgewater isn't a slouch at QB. Kyle Allen honestly had the Panthers pretty competitive when he didn't turn the ball over. Things might not be as bad as people think.

30 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

I'm okay with lacking continuity when the previous unit stunk.

This one million times over.  The returns from the old administration were declining, and Tepper decided it was time to blow it up and build back from the ground up.

Obviously it's not good for a franchise to be at the bottom continuity-wise for years in a row, but I think it is the absolute best place for us to be in 2020.

And while the results on the field may be (probably will be) bad this year, at least there seems to be a plan to build a team the right way (and the accompanying continuity that comes with it) going forward.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
