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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
