I've always heard batted passes are on the offensive line. Cam had numerous passes batted down in the Miami Game and no one here can call him a midget. It's easy to blame Baker like we did with Brady, Bridgewater, and even Darnold but the coaching staff doesn't even know how to play to our personnel's strengths. The coaching staff does no favors to our offense.  

Somewhat. Jimmy Clausen had this "flatline" trajectory to a lot of his throws that made them easier to bat down (or intercept).

With the defense we have now, how great would it be to have Bridgewater and Joe Brady back. 

I agree 100%. Well stated.

It is a Baker Mayfield problem.  It happened a lot in Cleveland too.

he had like a dozen in a single season in CLE. he's got that four games in here.

Baker's doing a lot of not good  things here that he didn't do in cleveland and we're performing worse than with just about any other QB in at least a decade. 

i'm beginning to think this just wasn't a good match.

...with the first five coming in a game against his former coach.

Stefanski knew the problem in Cleveland and schemed to minimize it. When Mayfield came here, Stefanski knew exactly how to exploit it.

Unfortunately, I think that first game showed other coaches how to do it too.

Our coaching staff can't work to accentuate Mayfield's strengths. How in the hell are they supposed to be able to understand how to minimize his weaknesses?

We so desperately need professional coaching. It's bad all across the board. It's so bad we, as a fanbase, were happy to see the return of Wilks... who was a bad coach and a terrible HC.

Baker is short and he has a very long windup before he throws. The ability to anticipate a throw coming with the benefit of a lower trajectory leads to the tips.

Compare his release time to tape of Corral or damn near any starter in the NFL. It's painful.

This seems to be the most logical reason for the number of batted passes. Arizona obviously saw something from the Cleveland game and looked to take advantage of it. Baker’s timing is pretty consistent when he makes a decision to commit to the throw. Arizona was trying to block the passes all game but didn’t get the timing figured out until the second half.

Is his windup any longer than others? They just seem to have a key on when he's drawing back and those DL are reaching up 8-10 feet in the air. I just don't know. It can't just be height. He's the same as Brees. 

One thing to consider, is his poker face the problem?  In other words, is the other team able to tell by looking at Mayfield’s reactions?  I am not sure I am explaining my suspicions, sometimes the other team picks up information by looking at QB body movements, etc.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
