The Way of the Panther (Jonathan Jones)

I can see dummy at his computer typing this up, I don't know how he was even successful in college with this crap. I know Ron's time ran its course but watching those all or nothing episodes made me realize why the players respected him. I can't imagine someone reading that crap and doing anything other than rolling their eyes.

I remember Seifert had a brief press conference when he was fired, can't remember if Capers or Fox did.

From what I remember, Seifert didn't have a "press conference" per se.

What happened was that he went and met with the players and talked to them about what they were going to be working on for next year despite having already been informed that he'd been fired. Shortly thereafter, they were told what had happened.

Players found it kind of surreal.

I'm not even sure he went to that much effort.

My guess would be he already had the document from his Baylor days, so all he had to do was go in and change it to say Carolina instead of Baylor, Panthers instead of Bears.

Who knows? It previously might have been entitled "The Way of the Bear".

Hell, at one point it may have been "The Way of the Owl" 😕

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
