This play is as good as anything we have ever seen in terms of a QB to WR  connection.

Keep an eye on DJ. Perfect hands work led to him getting that open. Corner wasn't able to press him at all. Meanwhile Teddy holding tight in the pocket trusting DJ will get open while the blitz is barreling down on him. 

Result, touchdown. 

On paper, this is a "yeah he is a dink and dunk QB", but in reality this is really impressive and Teddy deserves every bit of the stats it gave him. 

All this after only a few months working together. My word.

That's something you would not have seen under the Rivera era. Anderson has opened him way up but DJ and all the Panthers WRs for that matter were terrible at running routes and getting out of the Jam. Funchess was the perfect example of that. He ran lazy routes on more than half of the plays.

There's a lot to like about this play:

The OL picks up the 5 man rush perfectly, a good example of how we are suddenly able to avoid sacks;

Moore's subtle stop-n-go, which freezes the CB for just long enough;

Teddy's feel and accuracy in anticipating DJ's move -- his release is just as DJ is about to make his move, and (as with sooo many of Teddy's passes, he throws him open  and hits his receiver in stride).

Maybe it's the coaching, as so many are now concluding, but it's the Players (all of them) that are making it happen, through their execution.

The ball placement is what's key, hitting receivers in their stride, Panthers will probably lead the NFL in YAC at season's end. 

I believe we are 4th right now after a big YAC day from DJ. Davis and Anderson are #3 and #4 in YAC individually right now.

Bridgewater has been nice, but as we point out all the positives.  You need to point out the negatives as well.

 

He completely missed 2 other house calls to Moore.  DJ shouldve had 200+ and 3 TDs yesterday if Teddy would push it downfield

Just fyi, it's a 6 man rush.  A zero blitz, and there is a guy running untouched up the middle right at Teddy when he throws it.  He just had to get it out before he got there.

I think DJ's slow start (which hasn't even been all that slow he's on pace for like 1200 yards...) can be directly attributed to the lack of reps he and Teddy have gotten together due to the COVID offseason and no preseason, etc. Teddy already had familiarity and chemistry with Robby and it has shown, and Robby has shown he's clearly capable of being a 1a/b WR, which is fuging amazing. But DJ is still the more talented player and once he and Teddy develop better chemistry I think he's going to completely go off. We could legitimately have both of these guys put up 1300-1400+ yards and be one of the best WR duos in years.

The thing about his being a "dink and dunk" quarterback it that we're running a "dink and dunk" offense, so realistically what else would you expect him to do?

We've gone from having a quarterback who was expected to be a primary playmaker to a quarterback whose job it is to distribute the ball to the playmakers. It's an adjustment, but if you look back over the Super Bowls of the past several years, you'll find an awful lot of those guys.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
