Isnt his role to just scout the offense from a defensive perspective?

 

His role is to scout the offense, and tell them what signs they are showing, tells, or repetitive play calls. McVay, Shanahan, and BB do this same thing for their offenses. 

I have no problem with doing this. The choice of hire is the issue. It isn't a former pro linebacker. It's a guy who maxed out in college. 

It's another coach at a pro level without pro experience. We should have learned our lesson.

If you look down the list of assistants that we have at this level, I'm sure you'll notice a trend.

If his job is to look at player tendencies, why does it matter how good he was at football? Was BB one of the best players in football history? how about Sean McVay? Sean McDermott? 

 

You dont have to be athletic to see tendencies or decisions on the field decisions. poo we do it here, and get it right at least 50% of the time...

It's not about athleticism. It's about experience at the pro level. It matters and he doesn't have it.

I mean like.....we are bitching about an offensive assistant like this guy is going to be in there making up part of a game plan or something...... y'all need to relax. 

It shows that they are still looking in the wrong places for answers and that they are still fundamentally flawed in their management of the team.

Realistically speaking, these guys are just interns that somebody's giving a chance to try and get their foot in the door.

Some of them may succeed. Most won't.

But as to the point that the team and its leadership are fundamentally flawed? Yeah, they are (no doubt).

Yeah, I don't think that this is a crucial position, but just the fact that they keep fishing in that same pond is a problem.

And fishing from that same pond won't help. It's a waste of resources and convolutes things further.

On any staff besides ours this would be an absolute nothing move.  No one would even note it.  Of no importance whatsoever.

With our staff so far beyond the pale however, any move is like salt in the wounds at this point.  Nothing they do will be right.  Only a massive turnaround will rescue them, and with our cap and draft capital the correct resources to create that just aren't there.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
