Not sure if I'm 100% right but if my memory bank is somewhat correct ...YGM was a highly rated prospect coming out...only favored by Chaisson and Chase Young. Pretty sure there were a few predicting he might have even been a late first rounder. We got him in the 2nd..top 100. He has the size but although he did get to QB at Penn State he was probably graded better as a run defender...as was Derrick Brown which is even more frustrating considering our situation. 

He's definitely underperforming, from my expectations anyway. Hopefully his increased playing time will translate to better numbers as he progresses. 

The more I look at the line... the more I shake my head..

Burns(1st)-  Ioannidis(5th)  - Brown (1st) - YGM (2nd)

That's alot of draft capital. Returns aren't satisfying. Furthermore...

Thompson (1st) - Wilson (4th) - Luvu (UDFA)

Horn(1st)/Henderson(1st) - Jackson(2nd)

Chinn (2nd)- Woods (6th)

I will say Woods and Chinn make a great tandem. But hopefully YGM hasn't reached his peak. Definitely a huge dropoff from Reddick. 

spent too much resources (draft picks and salary cap) on this defense for them to under achieve and play this soft. 

Snow been pretty much given almost everything he needed on this side of the ball now and can't use the excuse he had in 2020

Why did we not play the new guy Anderson early in the game? He basically shut down Chubb/Hunt in the 4th quarter. Embarrassing a random vet can come in and do basic tackling having no clue who Snow is

Yeah it's clear our staff can't develop players.  Vets are the ones that do the best here (RA, Reddick, Gillmore).  I'm hoping Wilks can develop our young secondary, Campen our young OL, and maybe McAdoo can get our offense going.  They are all new this year so hopefully they can show what they can do.  As for the run defense.... doesn't look good...

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yea, I've never had high expectations since we drafted Bryce, so it's not like I'm just upset about not meeting them. I went into the season wanting to see player improvement and Canales' play design/calling improvement. I'm now to the point where I 99% only care about seeing individual player improvement.  The 1% is that I unfortunately have to still hope to see Canales play calling improvement, because that is kinda critical for the improvement of all our young offensive players. Offense is different from defense, you need good play designs and calls to show out.  On defense, everything can be a mess, but a great young player can still stand out and look great.  Our defense can be a mess but still have Horn locking down his guys on the outside, Scourton or Princely winning their pass rushing and pressuring the QB, DB swallowing up multiple blockers. But it's very hard for any QB, RB, WR, or TE to individually shine when the play design and calling is poo.

      Oh, I'm not 100% expecting/demanding anything for next season. All that I want to see out of this season is progress, but I also understand that progress is not linear. I also understand that we've got a young team and coaching staff that are both developing. Expecting a winning record isn't reasonable at all, but I'll cheer for one all the same. I think that this is where some of the more angsty fans keep themselves in a perpetual cycle of misery: high expectations leads to low resiliency. Folks can have high standards, and the Panthers + Bryce have not met those standards, but some of those standards are completely realistic (like Bryce has to be built like Cam in order to be successful).
