Doesnt really compute to me though if Sam is getting the ball out quicker than 2.5 seconds on most passing plays. 

According to their metric explanation this is accounted for.

Yes, probably....but thats a big staple of our offense, so it is what it is.  The short pass/screen game has become a staple of many NFL offenses these days actually.  Simply because it is very difficult to defend if you've got the right guys.  And we definitely do have the right guys.  If I was Brady I would be screening teams to death until they showed they could stop it. 

How long have you been watching Panthers we have never been a good screen team don’t know why. Then the little screen that had hope the other day was called backed because our favorite oline guy Elf bear hugged the guy.

I've been watching the Panthers since 1995.  I have literally seen every single game they have played save for about 5.  We have the best receiving RB in maybe the history of the game.  It would be absurd to not feed him the ball in space.  Screens and dump-offs are a big part of this.  Also, we absolutely have been a very good screen team in the past.  The Smoke Screens to Smitty back in the day used to kill teams.

Other than Smitty’s screens that’s all we’ve been good at. CMC gets dump offs but not many screens because oline sucks maybe one day.

Deangello and Stewart were good with it too.

Ryan Kalil was a great blocker in the screen game. Norwell and Turner were quality there too.

Keep screening until teams stop it. Kind of like what happened in 2013 when Luke and TD stopped the Saints in that rain game. If I recall correctly, the saints stopped screening so much after that game. 

Payton is the king of exploiting our biggest weakness. I remember when he kept throwing at Eric Reid over and over and over. 

We can do the same to them, hopefully.

I would say Joe Brady needs to figure out how to get the ball in the end zone with a top receiver, league MVP at running back, AND Darnold…then he may have his pick of jobs. 

Darnold missed two easy throws in the end zone last week and fumbled in the redzone with what rhule said was a walk in td. That’s 18 points left on the board. Then we wouldn’t be talking about red zone issues. I said the same thing last year with Teddy. He was awful in the red zone. Brady has some issues but I think they’re vastly overblown.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
