Let's take a look at some stats from the Panthers vs Dolphin games and see what we come up with.

Miami- Delhomme throws 42 times, they run 25...D-Will had a 9.4 per carry avg. Panthers LOSE.

Atlanta - Delhomme throws 24 times, they run 34 times J-Stew had a 7.5 per carry avg, and scored 2 td's. Panther WIN.

Arizona - Delhomme throws 14 times, they run 40 times...D-Will has 7 yards per carry avg. J-Stew runs for 2 tds. Panthers WIN.

Buffalo - Delhomme throws 44 times, they run 25 times, D-Will has a 5.5 yards per carry avg. Panthers LOSE.

Here's some more stats for you. The Panthers got the ball after Miami scored with about a minute left in the first half. In the two minute offense, the Panthers threw 5 passes 0 runs - makes perfect sense to me.

With about 7 and a half minutes left Miami kicked a field goal to take the lead 17-6 - a two possession game. A definite passing situation.

Jake threw 7 passes and there were 2 runs on that td drive.

Behind 24-14 with just under 4 minutes left, Jake threw 9 passes and ran the ball twice on the fg drive. With about 40 seconds left, down 24-17 Jake threw 5 passes with 0 runs on that drive - clocking the ball is counted as an imcomplete pass.

So, there's 26 passes and 4 runs in situations where throwing the ball on almost every play is REQUIRED,

Doing the math, if you remove the 5 passes in the last minute of the half, 21 runs and 16 passes had netted a total of 6 points.

You don't lose the game because you throw 40 passes. You throw 40 passes because you are losing the game.

Thank you. It gets annoying when people bring up how when Jake thows more than we run we lose. But they don't think about the why.

Yea I mean if our line blocked like all pros every play we wouldn't need to throw the ball. But god forbid Jake actually having to make plays.

In other news:

Deangelo Williams is the fuging man.

lets look at the red zone on the first drive, delhomme 3 incomplete passes, 0 runs, we kick field goal and set the tone for the game, if we ran, we would have scored 6 not 3

Bingo. I have no problem with Jake throwing enough between the 20's to keep the defense honest, but for cryin out loud, this is a running team, and running teams score most of their points by running it in the red zone. There is no need for them to try to be something they're not. I don't care if the other team puts 8-9 in the box either, because they have successfully run the ball against 8-9 in the box plenty of times. That's what they do best.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
