I don't buy that they would just pull the rug out from under their new OC. Joe was a hot commodity when he was brought here. If coaching Cam was at all important to him he could have made it a priority as early as his hiring negotiations. 

that’s not pulling the rug on Brady.  He was offered a NFL OC job.  Brady would do anything Rhule said.  He isn’t going to bark crazy demands at Rhule for the job he frankly wasn’t qualified for.  32 of these in the world.  

being an NFL OC was important to him.  He didn’t come here to coach Cam. 
 

I still think all signs point to Cam being a problem for Matt Rhule being able to come in here pretend to be a coach.  He doesn’t know what he is doing.  Cam would have been a problem.  Especially pre screwed/humbled Cam.

the Sam argeument always ignored that NY didn't make Sam into the QB that played in NY.  He was the same guy at USC.   That was who they drafted.  They got exactly that.  And he has been conistently that the entire time he has played QB.  College and pros. 

Joe Brady hasn't been consistently anything.  Great year at LSU bringing his pass concepts to LSU.  Pretty good debut as OC given it was his first time.  Really bad year 2. 

That doesn't really explain your logic that Darnold was expected to succeed in spite of a bad o-line and a green OC whereas Brady gets a pass due to similar circumstances.  I mean I recall you posting some chart about how some of the top passing attacks actually have o-lines that rate very poorly in pass-blocking to suggest that a bad o-line is no excuse for Darnold not to perform and that passing games can often succeed with poor pass-blocking.  But now you're using a poor o-line as an excuse for Brady? My point is that all of these things are codependent so I don't get the inconsistent application of certain elements of our offense.  Darnold was obviously a hinderance to Brady's success, but I think it has become increasingly clear by this point that Brady was similarly a hinderance to Darnold's success.

Not my logic.  I didn’t believe Sam would succeed.  

Not just a poor OL excuses for Brady.  Poor OL paired with a poor QB…..you give that to an inexperienced passing game OC and the results are predictable.  And it played out that way. 


* and yes a great QB can still have success with weak OL play.   See Cam.  See Watson.  See parts of Brady’s career.  See a ton of players.  But you need an actual good QB to pull offense off with a bad OL.

I don’t disagree. I think he’ll OC for some college and do well, be more picky the next time he jumps to the pros and do better. With Teddy, Sam and our oline, it would be hard on any coordinator. I for one thought the best group of skill positions we’ve ever had would be enough, but they weren’t enough to drag Teddy’s ass to any kind of production and after failing again gave up before halfway through this season. 

Rumour has it he's going to be the OC for the Miami Hurricanes.

There's something there with Brady, but an NFL OC gig was too much, too soon. He was too green - the NFL quickly figured out his tendencies and ate him up. 

At the end of the day it was Rhule's mistake for trying to go with the hot hire - he needs an experienced OC, like he's got an experienced DC.

How you feel about that? 

if Clemson had a legit passing QB I’d be down for that.   But we gonna have to get creative on the ground for a minute.

That's also pretty much the story of our entire coaching staff. They weren't ready to be here. Their greatest problem was overconfidence -- they greatly underestimated the challenges they faced.

you don’t know that. maybe they are very aware that they need a few years to learn the NFL game, but it’s the fans that greatly overestimated their expectations.

There are plenty of other teams with worse offensive talent and have done more. Brady was in way over his head. Just accept it. In a few years he may be better but this was way too soon. Who knows in 10 years he could be another Pete Carroll, older posters on here remember how that went his first go in the NFL.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
