It's too soon for a rebuilding team to be thinking like that.  We are not one player away for a run nor will that get you sustained success with a young team thin on talent and depth.

Let them continue to build that wall while destroying the hopes of these playoff wannabes and pretenders. 

Winter is coming. 

Agreed. This is "one year" thinking.

With Marty gone, that kind of mindset should be out as well.

TBH its the interior that's worse. Cam Erving has actually not been horrible. Miller Daley, and Elflein have been straight poo in run blocking.

Running behind Miller and Moton has been fine, I don't even recall Miller's name being brought up, it's the LG position that was PITIFUL. 

Almost every run off the LG was stuffed, I'd like to see Brown there, stop the ''versatility'' talk and put in a road grader at that spot.

About the only viable scenario I could have seen was a trade for Duane Brown before that situation got resolved.

But it did, so it's kinda hard to imagine now.

Old man Duane brown? Hard pass all summer. Leno being available and for cheap was one a lot of fans will point to. Not that I think Erving has not done well over, but having Leno at LT and Erving at guard likely is a better all around unit.

Brown has been one of the better left tackles in the league and is still pretty good. Leno was never that great and is pretty bad at this point.

Plus with Brown, you have the added advantages of Fitterer not only having a connection to him but also one to the people with whom he'd be negotiating.

With that said though, Brown would have been a two-year stopgap while we tried to find our left tackle of the future.

But obviously, all that is now water under the bridge.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yea, I've never had high expectations since we drafted Bryce, so it's not like I'm just upset about not meeting them. I went into the season wanting to see player improvement and Canales' play design/calling improvement. I'm now to the point where I 99% only care about seeing individual player improvement.  The 1% is that I unfortunately have to still hope to see Canales play calling improvement, because that is kinda critical for the improvement of all our young offensive players. Offense is different from defense, you need good play designs and calls to show out.  On defense, everything can be a mess, but a great young player can still stand out and look great.  Our defense can be a mess but still have Horn locking down his guys on the outside, Scourton or Princely winning their pass rushing and pressuring the QB, DB swallowing up multiple blockers. But it's very hard for any QB, RB, WR, or TE to individually shine when the play design and calling is poo.

      Oh, I'm not 100% expecting/demanding anything for next season. All that I want to see out of this season is progress, but I also understand that progress is not linear. I also understand that we've got a young team and coaching staff that are both developing. Expecting a winning record isn't reasonable at all, but I'll cheer for one all the same. I think that this is where some of the more angsty fans keep themselves in a perpetual cycle of misery: high expectations leads to low resiliency. Folks can have high standards, and the Panthers + Bryce have not met those standards, but some of those standards are completely realistic (like Bryce has to be built like Cam in order to be successful).
