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

Total yards:

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?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
