How does a team just keep getting worse and worse?

Maybe we should start the practice team next game.. also move the starters to the practice squad.. yes it would be really bad.. maybe worse.. But maybe the practice scrubs would play win or lose with more effort, like the kind of 'I want the job" effort..  and let's try a new coaching staff at this point.. 

 

Sorry for the ridiculous post..just soooooi frustrated with the team at this point.

Non-professional coaching leads to unprofessional teams.

Unprofessional teams decide to start their bye weeks early. They also start the off season in December.

Oh look! Here comes a bye week followed by December.

Cue Don Meredith singing, "Turn out the lights, the party is over."

Hey you stole my line from the game chat about Dandy Don 

lol.  You know I still can’t believe Cosell was from Winston Salem

Other teams have coaching staffs full of NFL experience. They see on the film what this team can and cannot do. They plan accordingly. 

This staff doesn't have that knowledge at the NFL level. It's not just the head coach. All of our most important coaching positions are held by guys who made their name at the college level.

We have two options:

1. Go through the growing pains and hope they figure it out at the NFL level

2. Blow it up and try again with another staff

Right now, the league has them figured out, and they can't figure out other teams.

 

Yep .. to me, making this situation worse is not only do we have a from college head coach, the entire staff are from college.  I’ve seen enough and based on the fact college coaches rarely have success in the NFL, I’m ready to move on to new staff to facilitate the inevitable now.  This is why your option to let them figure it out, isn’t an option for me.

The franchise is a full blown dumpster fire now. They tried to make a patchwork rebuild and compete now. Traded away picks we need. The correct thing to have done has draft oline and defense. Take our lumps for 2-3 years and turn that draft capital into a new team. Hopefully along the way we pick up a young franchise QB in the draft.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
