Our play calling and offensive scheme was horrible this year.  Just no identity.  Not a Sam apologist but where was the play action and bootleg passes ( one of the few things I've seen Sambo do well)  Also the play calling when Cam was in there was silly too.  RPO with that exaggerated slow hand off Cam was doing.  Jeezus.  All our Qb's dinking and dunking.  I thought last year the dink and dunk was cause Teddy liked that style.  I now realise the coaches were pushing that.  Either from lack of trust (Sam) or lack of arm (Cam) or injury gun shyness (Teddy)  we seemed content to get 4 yards a pass.   I do think they were hamstrung by the limitations of our QB's though.  That said it seems little effort was put into developing a scheme and identity for the offense other than pre-emptive damage control (aka playing scared), college style rotation of qb's ( aka bush league B.S.) and a misery go round depth chart on the offensive line.  The lack of creativity and balls by the offensive playcallers this year was embarrassing.  I do actually feel we can turn this around quickly on offense. We just need to develop an offensive identity. The fact in the same draft we took a BIG but slowish mauler like Deonte Brown and a finesse zone gap undersized LT like BC was an indication we had no clue what we wanted the oline to look like.  I actually think Elflien can play center for us.  I also think BC is deserving of a chance at LT.  That leaves our guards as the missing pieces.  Along with QB, TE and another RB to add to the committee.

Kubiak has a good football pedigree and runs the right kind of system.

That, plus his dad kicked our ass in the Super Bowl.

Not really refs gave them the game. Peyton didn’t do poo and if it wasn’t for Von Miller we win that game. We were the ones to stupid to put someone else over there to block him.

nice

Vikings fans are clowning us, this is one of the nicer comments and sounds like a sideways move at best

I think Baby Kubiak has potential. Weren't we one of the best red zone teams? And for a while there we were the best team on opening drives? Now, if he could minimize the three-and-outs, minimize all the worthless designed throws behind the LOS, and learn how to adjust mid-game, he has a chance. We'll see.

Not sure what thread to put this in.  And yeah its like a 3rd hand rumor.  But my brother knows someone that works in ticketing with the panthers and the rumor is that Tepper wants Rhule to bring him 3 OC names that he can hire 100%.  If Tepper approves they hire him and rhule keeps coaching.  If rhule bobbles this then he is done

 

100% hearsay I acknowledge just wanted to post it somewhere

Interesting 3rd hand rumor for sure!

As far as Kubiak, I've read a lot that he's overrated and not much of an upgrade for us.  Definitely a name, but not so much of a rock star.

I'm much more interested in the Rams guy.

And just what qualifies Tepper to decide if those coaches are good?

Truth. 

but maybe it isn’t even about that.  Can Rhule even find 3 guys with a real NFL resume for the job to say yes?  Maybe Tepper is just going to let the rest of the league tell him what Rhule is. 

If I was a good OC….I’m not taking the job unless it’s the last job.  Because it’s a bad job under Rhule.

Oh sweet so we’re bringing in an OC to interview who can’t adjust mid game. Like the thing we were historically bad at this past season.

rhule will probably pick someone he thinks he can just get along with and won’t threaten his power. So this guy would be perfect.

Kubiak would be a home run

 

Gary that is

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
