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 get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
