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.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
