You mean Phil Snow had a plan, to run a 3-3 and it has not worked. How can you have 5 guys in coverage and still give up this many passing first downs? Rhule is a puppet, Snow is the master. Unfortunately for us, Snow is a baiter.

Hey Rhule said they put 5 guys in Zone so they can see the ball in front of them, therefor intercept the ball easier. We have zero interceptions so far, and two losses where jag QB's carved us up 4-5 yards at a time whenever they needed to move the sticks.

What JStew said on the podcast is correct. This team has no identity. With Rivera and Fox, it was smash mouth run game, pass to support and hard hit defense. Like it or not, we knew what to expect every week. 

Dan Campbell in Detroit in his opening interview said they were going to be an in your face, aggressive team. Day 1, he set his identity as the leader of the team. 

Year 3. What do we have? The Brand. Yeah. Everyone knows whatever the hell that is supposed to be. We're run one week, pass the next. 5 QBs in 35 games. 3rd OC. Guys out of position. Players have to execute, but they need confidence knowing what exactly they are trying to do. This team looks lost and that sits squarely on the shoulders of Rhule.

Its simple, no matter how good your CBs are if a QB has time to stand in the pocket with no pressure he is going to pick you apart. 

No reason we should be rushing 3 with the backend group we have, Snow has no clue what he is doing.

we have a weak pass rush.  And our best pass rusher was playing coverage on like 1/3 of his snaps last week lol.  
 

the league is designed for CBS to lose the battle given a QB has time.

Historically the Panthers have liked to drop DEs into coverage. For instance under Fox we would use a fire zone blitz and drop Peppers into coverage, and he got a pick 6 once which was pretty thrilling to watch. It was also just hard to get the ball over him because of his wingspan and leaping ability.

Our defense bailed us out against the Giants for as long as they could, but the Giants are terrible so not much of an accomplishment.

To be honest, I'm not even sure if it matters whether he still has a plan or not. The reality is Rhule just doesn't have the intelligence to be an NFL coach.

Depending on what level your school is at in college, you're generally playing checkers or low-level chess. But the NFL game is populated with chess masters, some of them elite chess masters. There are a dozen subtle things going on with every play and every game plan.

You can't just go at that kind of complexity with checkers level skills and expect to win.

Yes of course, we are a run first team and we have to run the ball.

UPDATE 2022: It’s a passing league, so passing wins games according to Rhule.

Which is a great thing to say after you spent the offseason building your offense around the idea you were gonna be run heavy...

Im honestly baffled at his ideology, if there is any? Why hire a Mike McCarthy disciple if you were so hung up on the running game? Now we are moving goal posts to hire an OC because no decent one wanted anything to do with us. 

The lack of running the ball and getting the pressure off Rodgers is what got McCarthy canned in GB.

Because he had to hire somebody and McAdoo was one of the few guys that was interested.

I don't really think Rhule's thought process goes deeply enough to ask the questions you're asking here.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
