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.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
