Could the Panthers beat Alabama?

Matt Rhule’s staff doesn’t have more sophisticated game planning and scheming vs Bama.   I agree with most NFL teams there would be a massive difference though.   It’s like if Bama’s staff all went to the pros….they suddenly don’t get a bump as more sophisticated because of the new job titles. 

that’s the main problem with our O.  Rhule’s staff can’t gameplan and scheme at this level IMO. 

Yeah, I was thinking more in terms of any generic NFL team as far as the scheme and gameplans.  As you correctly stated the Panthers are particularly bad at this.  In the hypothetical Alabama game there might be a few sophisticated plays thrown in that Rhule has learned from the pro game in the last 2 years but basically he runs a simple college scheme.  That's why the Panthers have appeared so overmatched week after week.

And Saban has pro experience too.   So in a Bama/Panther matchup.  I’m taking Saban in terms of HCs.

Yeah that was a thing for quite a long time. In the earliest days of pro football the high-end CFB teams actually were better than the NFL teams because Pro Football was still very niche and the income wasnt much different from a normal job, sometimes even less so earlier on so a lot of the top college players didn't end up playing pro.

This is a cool little tidbit that I think people either forget about or weren't aware of considering the NFL's current status as a behemoth towering over all other American sports.  Pro football was a curiosity and something of an experiment for the first few decades it was a thing.  Teams folded and merged all the time, the league would barnstorm across the country playing exhibition games for exposure, and that kind of thing.

    • I miss many of the OGs like @ladypanther Zob had a bad off week and came in here to do some mopping and a couple of the 10 year 15k post account he just banned over a silly disagreement, just odd behavior from Zob. A Pessimal deal happened with Lady and others. I tired to find a new forum and could not get around the signing up part...same for discord. Its not perfect here by any means, but I still feel welcomed here for the most part and this place does have the most freedom. I hate how the right vs left BS nearly cooked this place, I still believe in removing the litterbox, toxic as hell and lollolols @ anyone coming into a team forum to talk about pointless politics of the uni party turds.  @Bear Hands you saved this place with your activity. It helped offset the lost of OGs and the knowledgeable that leftd.    It would help for new members and I do get the spammers deals, just got to mod them away and hope opening the door brings in fresh blood. 
    • Young went to bama and Brissett went to nc state.
    • That seems about right. No higher than that for a bottom third qb with two years left, including one expensive year. He played well enough last year to show he is startable. It depends on whether other teams thought he has any upside left and whether he's been hindered by coaching and surrounding cast. I think most teams would answer no, but if they thought he could step it up just a little I could see trading a fourth or fifth for a bridge guy/top tier backup.
