COACHING MATTERS.... Last night's game!

Doug Pederson- takes the worst team in the NFL to a playoff contender with a roster that is not really elite but getting the most out of his players. On top of it his team is down 27-0 and the dude makes adjustments in the second half (Rivera NEVER adjusted) and goes on to win the game with his team, yes they will be a sacrificial lamb for KC next week should they match up with them but regardless, that team has momentum going into the offseason. Kudos to Shahid Khan here, prior to this year his team had lost 29 of the last 32 games, he is in a market just slightly smaller than Charlotte and not a nationally followed team. He had just hired Urban Meyer to a reported 5 year $60 million dollar contract and he ate that because he knew he badly missed with Meyer

 

Brandon Staley- supposed defensive guru, couldn't win last year in the win and your in sweepstakes to get into the playoffs. Comes into this season with a STACKED roster across both sides, this team was BUILT TO WIN NOW. Plays his starters in an irrelevant game, loses his #2 WR. Has a 27-0 lead and rushes with Ekeler a whopping three times in the second half. He will undoubtedly be fired and pave the way for Payton to go to LA.

 

Our owner who is many times over wealthier than Shahid Khan stuck with a used car salesman for 3 seasons and in doing so has totally alienated the fanbase. 

Coaching matters Mr. Tepper, you and Nicole GTFO out of the coaching search and let football people do their job and bring this franchise the best possible coach, you and Nicole's job is to say hello to the candidates, offer them a biscotti with tea and if your executive search team says "this is the guy" then you write the biggest damn check possible to convince that person to come to the North East Transplant Exchange Capital of America known as Charlotte, NC

I remember last coaching cycle there were a ton of hot new names floated around and Doug Pederson (SB winning coach) was an afterthought.  I personally thought it was strange.  But hey, always chase the new hot name, right?

The same reason I think people are sleeping on Frank Reich.  I put him in Pederson's situation this year.  Yeah, he's getting some luke warm interest like Pederson, but everyone is looking for the next Payton (back in the day) and McVay.

Coaching does matter

 

especially in SF where you have a JAG QB hitting wide open dudes of of greatly designed play action passes, and the weapons around him do the work for him. Its amazing. 

 

get a coach like shanahan that will be here with a system that will be around for years and years. 

 

not some stupid ass defensive coach who the second we have a good OC will be sniped.  get the fug outa here.

Staley is a complete dumbass. He played his starters in a meaningless game last week and lost their BEST big playmaking WR in Mike Williams in the 4th quarter and didn't play yesterday because of that. Then (in complete Panthers fashion) they stopped doing what was working in the 1st half and went to soft zone in the 2nd half and let the Jags WRs and Evan Engram just eat up YAC. That was an epic choke. How TF do you lose a game where you win the turnover ratio 5-0? Chargers really are the Panthers of the AFC.

You have to give the Jags credit!  Man, what an epic come back.  To go from pooping the bed in the first half to bringing your team back.  Sure, the Chargers helped, but the fact that Lawrence was able to jump right back in was great to see.

Coaching matters, and having an unflappable QB with enough competitive arrogance to bounce back from set backs.  

It's going to be very interesting to see how the Panthers offseason progresses.

The Jags have a talented squad. Let's stop acting like they don't. I'm not saying that coaching hasn't made all the difference, but lastnight wasn't about the Jags having a bad squad, it was about Goldilocks making some extremely bad decisions during the first half that actually made the Chargers look better than they really are and the Jags look worse than they are. Pederson was the calming influence that stuck to the game plan and got Lawrence and his guys doing what he knew that they can do.

Some of us actually thought that the Jags were the better team (or, at the very least, surging at the right time).

Jags don't make that comeback without a franchise QB

Which is why the Panthers need to stop waiting for the perfect QB and just simply get one who can make those kind of plays.  

Yes and no. They wouldn't have needed an epic comeback if their franchise qb didn't throw 4 1st half interceptions. Chargers ran up the score with tons of great field position the entire 1st half. Their offense wasn't doing that much. Honestly a game manager who didn't turn the ball over probably would have had the game comfortably in hand for the Jaguars the entire time.

I saw a stat on Twitter this morning that said once the chargers were up big that they only had called something like 8-9 runs in the second half. That is terrible coaching, trying to be a show off and start throwing the ball like that. Run the ball and run out the clock. Dude should be fired. Not to mention his idiot decisions last week got Mike Williams a broken back in a meaningless game.

Doesn't matter.  Yes, Lawrence could have played better in the first half.  But what does a franchise guy do?  They put it behind them, step up, and put up points for their team.

Lawrence contributed to the disaster, but he fixed it.  Panthers don't have a guy who can repair a disaster.  Panthers need to get that guy, unless the plan is to build a crazy stacked roster ala 49ers.

      Good lawd, look at the amount of rotation required for a mere 40-yard pass. No wonder he needs a runway for any throw beyond 50 yards.  Can you think of any NFL quarterback today who has a weaker arm than Bryce? For reference, with a similar amount of hip rotation, Stroud slung the ball 69 yards. https://x.com/VatorSports/status/1728845724434186374

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      I am excited! New coaching staff that has a plan and vision and finally the whole team/front office seems to be moving in lockstep. We got 2 new WRs. One in XL a rookie who looks like a beast and the other in DJ who is an absolute weapon. Excited to see Brooks and Sanders ( TE ). We got some Oline help finally. Excited to see if BY9 is the guy ( I think so, but we'll see ). Defense gets a 2nd year and hopefully some help from offense and I believe Evero can coach them to be VERY good this year. ST should be interesting because kick offs are completley new.   I was just thinking the other day I can't wait for preseason to start. Always signals the start of actual football for me.
