Shocking passing statistics for the 2021 Panthers.

Isn't this the sort of passing chart that made us think Teddy was the problem?  Why doesn't this apply to Sam who has completed far fewer throws and committed far more turnovers?

There were plenty of drops when PJ and Cam were playing tbh. 3 of his 8 came in a 2 game stretch with those two.  Chubba has had plenty of drops.

Drops were overall worse very early... Robby seemed to play harder for Cam and PJ for one game but he's still been poo overall with or without Darnold ...

The playcalling is designed to compensate for the bad offensive line. We only run hitch routes and slants and RPO's. It's a college offense. We have WRs just running down field for no reason as "decoys". If the oline improves and the design is still like this, then we know. But it's all on Rhule, and more importantly, all on Tepper.

By the way, DJ remains awful in the third year. For every somewhat big play he has, he drops ten fuging balls directly in his hands.

Hes gotten way worse the last 2 years btw. Big down turn.  He was much more consistent years 1 and 2... His drop rate basically doubled from year 2 to 3 and 4...

Hyperbole

This has all been a part of Rhule's master plan. Tank the entire season so DJ would be forced to sign a cheaper contract. It's all been part of the plan, we just can't see it.

Bad coaching makes bad players look worse.

I know the offensive line is terrible, but it seems like we should be able scheme around it better than we are currently doing. Sam, Cam, and PJ are all above average in mobility, but we don't seem to get those guys on the edge with called roll outs to move the pocket. I don't see us throwing many screens to slow down the pass rush. TE's Thomas and Tremble have a combined 36 catches on the year. If each guy caught 2 passes a game over the course of the season they'd have almost twice that number in combined catches. TE's are an after thought in this offense. I'd be practicing every trick play I knew (reverses, reverse passes, HB options, hook and ladders, etc) to keep the chains moving and to compensate for the poor line. As you pointed out, we just seem to run the same routes over and over. Even with this line, the upper echelon coaches would be able to get 8-10 wins with the current talent, and possibly more depending on the strength of schedule.

I’m stuck in oline mode.  I was referring to them.

People want to poo on DJ Moore yet he's the only WR on the roster who showed up this year.

Robby Anderson fleeced the Panthers almost as badly as Matt Rhule, with Rhule's help.

I keep saying this is on coaching. It's frustrating to see DJ drop passes he can and usually does catch, yes. But when an entire receiving corps is dropping balls left and right, is quitting on routes, looks lost etc... The issue is above the players...
