Who is the player that rallies them, tells them to CTFD, tells them they're going to go out there and control the clock/get a turnover?

On defense I think it might actually be Donte Jackson, as bizarre as that might be. Chinn will probably grow into that role. And of course we have Gilmore coming in who's had tons of success and been in shitty positions. 

But on offense? When they just needed 1 drive to ice that game, who was the person in the huddle that knew what was going on? 

I don't think that player exists on offense right now. It's the problem with being so young. 

i think it's one of the reasons that when things have started going pear shape the last two weeks they just don't stop. Obviously there's some talent deficits on the offensive line, the playcalling is mind numbing, etc. But they're just too damn young. 

in the offseason, on top of fixing the offensive line with all means at their disposal, this team really needs like a 32 year old blocking tight end that can just stumble out for a reliable six yards every time.

I don't get the question. I'd hope every starting, professional player on our offense knows the play call that is coming in, time on the clock, and the down and distance to gain.

If you mean, who's the guy we can rely on the most to make a play in those situations, his name is Christian and he hasn't been seeing much of the field lately.

Leadership is definitely lacking on offense. McCaffrey isn't that type of player he leads by example and his play on the field. This team needs some swagger. Instead we find ourselves playing scared and punting at home on fourth and short. Sad state of affairs.

By Monday or Tuesday at the latest you should be on to the next opponent.  If not...that's not good.

you are right, don't me get me wrong

But at this point, it appears more and more the Panthers biggest opponent is themselves. When they are confident in the playcalling and the personnel out there, we've seen them pulling out the wins. Its when the chips are down, the cracks become more visible.

I usually think of the QB when a question like this pops up. So its fair to ask, down in the ballgame, does Sam have the dog in him to look past the mistakes and rally the offense ?

The next couple of games are gonna tell us what we need to know.

He's talking about that guy on the field who, when everything is falling apart and everyone is frazzled and/or feeling like it's out of control, will rally the guys together and get them to pull their poo together.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
