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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
