Chris Lea is right on target with his analysis of the Panthers' offensive woes.  Sure the O-line and Darnold have left a lot to be desired, and sure there's no CMC, and Robby could perhaps play better, but a big problem of our offensive woes is Joe Brady. 

 

"Right now the Panthers are the worst team in league when it comes to scoring in the 3rd quarter at 1.4 points per game in the period after the half. That's actually worse than last year when the team famously came out flat week-after-week, averaging 3.6 points per game in the 3rd. Last year is not an aberration since the trend is continuing in 2021 five games into the season.

These 3rd quarter numbers and Robby Anderson's complaint has one common denominator: Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady.

He's clearly not calling a game plan sans McCaffrey that's keeping defenses on their toes. Plus, if defenders are figuring out plays by the second half and those plays continue to be called, Brady is not making any adjustments in game - or at least not enough noticeable adjustments."

It's like I said in another thread. Brady can talk about execution all he wants, but good OCs put their players in the best position to successfully execute. Certainly if things don't seem to be working on game days, you have to be able to make adjustments, not keep doing the same thing over and over again. I agree that you keep doing the things that bring success. Run until they stop you, pass when necessary, max protect when necessary...but It's time to be a little more open-minded as well when things are going south. It may also be time to get Shi and even Terrace more involved. Double moves, quick slants, draw plays--something.

A good OC would make the best of who he has and what they do and don't bring to the table, not who the OC wish they had or what the OC wishes they could do.

That's the problem we consistently have here. That was the problem with Chud (who had no situational awareness) or Shula, (who had no idea how to use Chud's playbook and only had a job in the NFL because of his dad), or Norv (who had forgotten how to run an O), or Davidson (who didn't have a clue).

Brady hasn't figured out that you might need to change what you do based on what is happening on the field and who he has at his disposal. In that way he's like Chud trending at the moment towards Davidson.

Yeah when Brady first came he certainly said the right stuff.  They asked him if he was going to run the LSU/Saints offense and he said you have to craft it for what your players do best.

Then in the Philly game he sets up Robby for contested catches.  

smh

I’m sure Robbie wasn’t the only route and only read on those plays.

Whenever I hear the commentators say Brady the next great OC.

Brady wasn't even an OC in LSU. Something tells me Brady wasn't that responsible for Burrows success. Panthers really need to consider a change at the end of this season if Brady doesn't improve. Which since we are having the same problems as last year makes me think he won't improve.

So what you are saying is Brady will undeservedly get a head coaching job and then get fired within one year?

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
