This is not a playoff team

And he has generally been more successful when he is using that mobility than standing in the pocket too.

 

How long do those running QBs last? They all get hurt, a lot. Cam is bigger and better than most, and he only lasted 8 years. Give me a QB that can last. Let him do some things, but mostly just be a QB.

Who are the NFCS qbs? 

Mobility does not equal running ability. Winston has always been seen as mobile and can run when he wants. Brady is mobile in the pocket, but doesn't often need to be since he has good protection and a quick release. Ryan? That one I could give you, but he can move in the pocket a little too.

Even if you wanted to say the Panthers were being built to beat those three teams and their QBs aren't mobile, that is just six wins at most, which is crap.

There simply isn't enough time for Darnold to step up into these throws when they're constantly pushing linemen into his face. 

I agree with some of you points on whether we are playoff team.

However, it is a myth that Time to Throw is directly correlated with Intended Air Yards, as if the height and speed of the ball for every throw is the same.  It is not.   Ball placement and TT  are simply not linearly aligned.     

Tom Brady has the 3rd shortest time to throw, but the 10th highest in intended air yards per attempt at 9.1.     That is theoretically impossible assuming  that it takes longer to throw longer.  It does not.

If you throw a touch higher  you can throw earlier with just enough air time for the wr to get there.  The challenge is if you loft too much, defenders have time to get there too, so you have to lead the receiver so that he is full speed when he meets the ball.

I project we will finish 8-9 or 9-8 at best and miss the playoffs. 

This was my prediction in the preseason.  Then came the Saints blowout and I thought we looked like a playoff team.  Then we lost Burris, Horn,  CMC, Shaq, Elflein, Erving, and Arnold.  We lost 2 games.  We have replaced Horn, and the other injures are not season ending.

Lets see if that team we saw in the Saints game returns.   We've lost one we were supposed to win.  I'm thinking we might win one we're supposed to lose.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
