If I remember correctly, he was a QB at West Charlotte back in the day.  So yeah, he's definitely a local guy.

Edit:  After looking up his Wiki we were in high school at the same time.  I thought his name rang a bell outside of hearing hit around the League.  West Charlotte was really good back in those days.

PPG 2013-2015
2013: 14th
2014: 5th

2015: 28th (lost QB for season)

Total yards:
2013: 15th

2014: 3rd

2015: 27th (backup QB)

 


 

Half a season.  Before he was lost Luck was on course for his worst season as a pro.

Luck was a far, far better player in 16 and 18 after Hamilton was elsewhere.

Many of you are trashing the "run first" approach to offense.  Tennessee has a bye this week. 

Run first is good, especially if you don’t have an elite QB. The problem is when you get behind it’s hard to adjust the offense. It will be a good offense for Darnold and to help transition a rookie the following year. Mac Jones has thrived in a run first offense.

Yup AJ Brown went off in a few games when they needed to pass the ball, Tannehill still went for 3700 yards, 21-14 TD to int ratio. Imagine if Rhule had Derrick Henry instead of CMC and lost him for 8 weeks? Tennessee barely flinched

Pep had Mills (a 2nd round rookie) looking good and developing. I wonder if we try to trade down and grab a Howell/Strong in the 2nd. If BC is a better LT than LG we could grab a solid LG or C later in the first with Strong in the 2nd and maybe have a young offense with some potential when the season is over…

was that Pep? Was LSU’s record breaking season Joe Brady?  

Current OC had a top tier pass attack the year prior when then GM traded away Nuk Hopkins.  Yeah, he had Watson but there wasn’t much in Hou then either. 

Gets hard to tell sometimes.  Passing game coordinator isn’t calling the O. 

if Pep is that good….why has he bounced around so heavily since he was fired in Indy.   He basically has turned into a one year bounce around rental.

I'm sure its been said, but if Pep Hamilton is the "rockstar" OC... oh wee mayne

If Sam Darnold is a promising young QB who played one of his best games this past weekend….then Pep can be a rockstar.   Anything can be anything you want in Carolina.

seems like you have input on Pep. Has he really failed anywhere he has gone? Ive been looking into it and I cant really find anything outside of the Luck injury season.

As I said, he is an improvement over anything Rhule has had to date.   But that isn’t saying much.  

He basically has a new job every year.   Not sure he has really hung around long enough to fail or succeed anywhere. 

his only OC job I felt was strictly because he had relationship with Luck from Stanford.  Is he a NFL OC if he wasn’t Luck’s college OC?

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
