Chris Simms: People have caught on to the Panthers offense.

Honestly I think the only people in the country that have not caught on to the Panthers' offense are the Panthers themselves.

Another poster and I (can't recall who it was off the top of my head) were just discussing the repeat plays here yesterday, I believe.  Specifically the repeated end arounds that have no variation and look exactly like the ones ran before, both to WRs and Tremble.  The run plays, too.  Idk how many times we've set up for an obvious run, and everyone knew it was a dive or belly, straight up the middle.  Even the slant/flat combos come out of the same formations and the same setup everytime...  that's where I say, it's not just Darnold sucking, and then trying to protect him, it's also Brady.  He isn't giving defenses anything to second guess or hesitate about.  I said it in the gameday thread last week - if we fans sitting at home or in the stands see a formation and setup/motion, and know we've seen it before and what is coming, you know NFL defense are salivating presnap because they damn sure do.  It's just embarrassing.

Darnald was our third pick in QBs this off season. Can't say they were wrong with Justin Fields either. He has been horrible. Either way it would make sense to run more than pass if your QB doesn't get it. Yet every week we expect Darnald to see the field better than the past two weeks and he doesn't. Poor coaching right there.

This is the second former NFL QB breaking down film pointing out that Sam Darnold is messing up the absolute simplest of things. Simms here is basically suggesting what I have been for awhile - Brady is drastically dialing back his offense because of the QB. Teddy was very physically limited, but he didn't require a coloring book for a playbook and that's why the overall offense was considerably better last year. We haven't actually seen Brady's offense yet because we haven't had a QB yet.

My thoughts too. If it was just Brady, then we would have seen this overly simplified play calling last year.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
