Too bad Fox, & Trgu don't know...

I posted something similar to this "back home" but figure it might be "interesting" to shed a little light on some stuff about the upcoming big game that the Panthers, their players and staff simply "don't know".

In no way do I hope this information gets back to Fox and his minions, as I do not wish to influence the outcome of tomorrow night's contest. Please guard these concepts with ferver.

Note that it was reported in a Tampa publication that the Succs spent Monday prepping for the Falcons -- not the Panthers, in spite of the upcoming game for first place in the division.

I think the truth of the matter is, they [the Bucs] don't fear the Panthers but they do fear the Falcons without a doubt. They know we will not allow Garcia to step up into the pocket on his next pass attempt follwing an incompletion. Unlike the Panthers, the Falcons know Garcia takes on a running quarterback mentality anytime he starts struggling -- and especially in the red zone. But the Panthers do not know to use a spy/delayed blitz up the middle to thwart Garcia, even though their LB Davis is the perfect player to fill the spy roll and make play after play against Garcia. Panthers coaches aren't smart. They will let the Bucs Guards doubleteam their NT, pushing him out the way to open up the middle, then allow a struggling Garcia to easily step up and run instead of making that sucker earn his money throwing over middle pressure.

Panthers DE's will run upfield past Garcia, even though Garcia is -- at times -- just a poor-man's Vick-wannabe. Rushing too far upfield just gives Garcia what he wants since he is looking to step up and run in the clutch and when his throwing accuracy is shakey. Panthers will let this fool off the hook with 4-man rushes that leave the middle open after the Bucs Guard pushes the DT to the side so he can scamper up the middle for key first downs. Too bad for Panthers fans.

Do NOT discuss this or allow it to reach Fox or Troglodite (sp). ;)

It's not a plot nor a secret...most teams playing Monday Night prep 1 day for the next team because of the short week.:rolleyes:

Tampa I'm sure gives each team equal respect especially because we've been burned white hot by teams with a negative win/loss.

pssst! Panther Coaches are some of the best.

IMHO, John Fox does not believe in game planning. For him, I think gameplanning reveals the fact that his offensive and defensive strategies are outdated, imperfect, or both.

Interestingly enough, the few times when we have obviously game planned scenarios in the past, we have done well (Vick and T Davis, New England a few years ago).

You know, we're laughing at the guy, but he does make some valid points (even if they're glaringly obvious). Against Garcia, and Vick, Trgo tries to let the DE's shoot around the tackles like against any other quarterback. Unfortunately, this leaves HUGE holes right in the middle of the line that a quarterback like Garcia usually exploites.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
