Darnold is the second biggest part of the problem, IMO. 

1. OL

2. Darnold

3. Brady

If we fix any of the three things we will only get so much better, IMO. The OL can be improved, although it will take time. Brady MAY be able to improve but it also may be years after he is gone from here. Darnold's improvement chances are quite slim.

 

I would put a gap between 1 and 2 for this reason: 

QB is a 1 guy problem, the OL is 3 or more guy problem each of the last 3 weeks. Take your pick on which 3 too so it's more like 3.5-4 total. Only one out of 5 is good/great (Moton), and 1 other is marginal in the role he has been asked to fill (Erving). Really as it stands, 4 spots need to be filled (1 could be a shift from LT to LG)

I get we need a QB, but man the o-line is such utter garbage. Get it down from 3.5 to even 2 and then it's a coin toss to which is better: 4 good/great lineman  carrying the QB and coordinator or  3 OL and a good/great QB carrying the coordinator and 2 linemen. But I'm not sold a QB only change carries the rest of the lot unless it's a first ballot HOF guy. And we won't just pluck one from the sky this year or likely next either.

I bet the farm during training camp Derrick brown was destroying the OL so bad the coaching staff asked him to let up some, thus he didnt evolve .....

Convid killed 2020 Johnny Miller, tho this past week he had his best 2021 game. 

Daley let me down bad, I had him as my darkhorse for LT. By week 4 I was completely off the daley train. about the worse OG play Ive seen in panther history. Bell and chandler are 2x better as OGs...

 

DL has alll the pressure and they are doing well. After an nothing game one, Fox and Jones have came to life in most games. Fox >> Efe btw..... Nixon has played GREAT as a rookie backup, always around the ball with max effort. Does feel like haynes is not getting the needed plays the panthers want. 

I think Burns is playing hurt, the team could be in trouble for hiding this.... 

Right now it went form Shaq being the best D player and now its Reddick.... CHinn had his best game of the year as well.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By d-dave · Posted

      The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.

      we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play.

      He did not elevate the players around him, but they de-elevated their QB.  A QB like Bryce needs a system, a strong OL, a Running game, and WRs that can get open.  Call him a manager at best, but so is a point guard.  That is all we should need.  He is smart enough to grow into a very effective player.  I once saw a Coach talking about the OL--i forget who it was Schottenheimer comes to mind--and he said, you can succeed if you have one weak link on the OL.  If you get 2 weak links, success comes 10x harder.  If you get three weak links, your season is over.  Your QB is injured, and you are unemployed (paraphrasing).  I would say that we had 4 weak links (Icky does not get a pass) and a RB who was not good at pass blocking. I am not saying the Bryce is the answer at QB--but I am saying we don't know yet. I know QBs (college) and when the OL sucks, they collapse mentally over time.  That is what we saw--a QB who had never played without the advantage.
