Ehhh. In the five games immediately before his firing, our offense averaged barely over 17 ppg... We were on a hard course downward and while Nixon was not better, Brady at the end wasn't good either.  After Minnesota the wheels came completely off save for a brief reprieve from Cam's energetic return. Excluding Cam's ARZ game, the offense averaged 11.8 ppg after Minnesota under Brady...

Rhule interfered and wanted a more run focused offense. Brady was no longer running his offense. He was trying to call the offense as Rhule wanted it.

Don't be shocked if he lands somewhere with a good young QB and has wildly different results.

Meanwhile, the painful reality is that as soon as he was gone the offense turned into something that is usually seen on Friday nights. Calling it a college offense would be an insult to college offense. We were straight up running a HS offense.

Well we did go to a “Baylor buddy” who should never even sniff an OC role, and he was using the exact same playbook. Don’t get me wrong I know we were terrible but that doesn’t mean Brady was ever good.

Oh for sure, although I think that Brady was in over his head and didn't have a true NFL mentor here, which fuged him too imo.  Last year we saw consistent problems with getting plays in on time, same problem in 2020. And while Cam (and tbh to an extent early Darnold) did improve on red zone effexiency he still has vexing situational playcalls.

Time and time again, Rhule failed to respect how much actual NFL experience matters... I think Brady can be good with a good mentor.

So Nixon was worse than Brady…

Nixon wasn't going to change a whole lot of the offense.  You can't install a new offense during the season.  He lost a lot of players and had to play some stronger teams too.  It's hard to say if he was better or worse than Brady with what he had to work with.

Did he, though?

I ask because it sure as heck didn't become more run focused when Jeff Nixon was running it, but I don't remember Rhule complaining.

Part of me thinks Rhule was just using that as an excuse to scapegoat Brady.

He did. Then he let his buddy run the offense how he wanted and we all saw how that worked out.

That's kinda what I'm getting at.

It mattered when Brady was running it. Then Jeff Nixon takes over and gets a free pass.

I suppose either way ultimately just points to Rhule being a douchebag.

Joe Brady had great concepts but that's it. His play calling was sub par and his red zone offense was terrible. Not to mention he hand picked two QBs and he couldn't make either one work in his system. I'm not saying it was all his fault because it never is but a bunch of our troubles were his fault.

Brady might have success in Cincinnati given his LSU connections with Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase.  Not because Brady has gotten any better as an OC but because the players there are so good they don't really need him.  The Bengals offense will succeed in spite of Brady.  And who knows, maybe Brady gets better with more practice.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
