Panthers Fire Joe Brady


GOAT

Recommended Posts

The offense has looked uninspired since the first quarter of the season.  Once CMC went down in the Texans game it's like Brady, who apparently centered the entire offense AROUND CMC was at a loss of how to press on without him.  It was also about the time other teams got enough film on our offense to figure out how to stop it.  It was a doubled-edge sword for Brady and seemingly he was unable to adapt.

Generate a spark in the qb room?

lmao

Spark is a weird comment but insofar as he seems incapable of sustained success with multiple QBs I kinda get how he may not have been doing much to help the QBs with his scheme / offense... Admittedly most of what he's given hasn't been great but seeing Teddy Bridgewater have a career year for the Broncos had to make some people wonder.  Still glad we moved on from Two Gloves, but yea... Feels like he can have very limited success with a QB before whatever he does gets figured out.

Of course Nixon is another Baylor guy but overall he seems to be very hands on; he also seems to be a very intelligent individual (Deans List, All Big Ten Academic, Masters Degree).

At 1:45 in the video you can see Nixon essentially running the practice with Rhule lurking in the background.

Nixon also has 5 years of NFL experience… a plus compared to what Brady had.

Def the fall guy for a HC who's seat is getting hotter by the week.

To be fair, Brady's OL and QBs have been downright awful since he got here and CMC has missed 18 games during this regime's rein. OL has been passed over in both drafts and they went dumpster diving with Erving and Elflein in FA. 

However, Brady has rarely shown an ability to adjust and his schemes don't look like they've translated well to the NFL. Much the way McDaniels' success was hung on the GOAT and Belichick, I wonder how much of Joe Brady's "brilliance" was a byproduct of the LSU program.

He was given poo to work with. We did him a favor tbh

I've been stuck on the same thing...  I dont get the timing at all, and would definitely suspect it had to do with some type of internal struggle.  They could've realistically made this decision weeks ago, and if we were sure of it (as we should have been) after Miami, why wait until the Sunday of our bye week?  A Sunday?  I just don't get it.

I suspect they did it much earlier in the week and are just now announcing, or at the very least were planning contingencies/the path forward throughout the week.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
