Our Best QB Performance is Ahead of Us

Our Death Valley days are behind us.  Once the ink is dry on the contracts for either Kafka or Steichen, whatever QB’s are on the roster in training camp will be better.   New playbooks and offensive schemes, coaching and player development, game day and half time adjustments, all of it will create the conditions for better QB performance.

Rookie draft pick - Richardson, Hooker, McKee, Corral

Bridge FA - Carr, Minshew, Darnold, Walker

All of them will play and look better under the new coach and system, because coach and system are more important than raw athletic ability.  Athletic ability is the floor.  Coaching, system and player development determine the ceiling.

It can’t get worse.  It can only get better.  With Kafka or Steichen, and with any three of the players listed above, playoffs in year 1 of the new regime.

That's a lot of assumptions you have there. Different doesn't guarantee better. You might want to wait to see how the season plays out before deciding its automatically going to be better. 

True enough, no guarantees.  Anyone who is offering predictions of the upcoming season must make assumptions; just looking at it probabilistically.  You can play with the percentages of each potential outcome but, I have a hard time seeing how the Panthers QB play in the upcoming season will be no better or worse than the just concluded 2022 season. 

     All other things equal under Kafka or Steichen, Panther QB's by end of 2023 season will...

  • Do better than 2022 - 60%
  • No better, no worse - 30%
  • Do worse than 2022 - 10%

Yea I'll have to wait in season and see. Our offensive and defensive adjustments(or lack thereof) left alot to be desired. Which says a lot off coming off a Rhule led team. 

To be fair, I do think if Sam played the entire year with PJ as his primary backup we aren't even having this discussion. 

Hell, if Wilks would have kept Snow we'd be in the playoffs. 

Keeping that in mind, if he was to named as HC and i I'm Tepper, Id have a few conditions if he wants that position. No micromanaging and hire him the best position coaches, DC and OC avialable.

I'm not so sure he'd sign off on that after his Arizona stint. 

Whatever way it goes I honestly hope Holcomb and McAdoo have called their last plays as coordinators here.

I think you’re right regarding QB play because, like you said, it can’t get much worse. However, I think the rest of our roster is a bit overrated. Look how badly the Bucs got stomped in the playoffs, and we couldn’t take the division from them. We were probably a 3 or 4 win team in any other year.

I don't know man. It's hard to imagine heading into another season with the same level of incompetence that we had with Rhay-Z.

On that I agree. But the football god's have not been kind to us for many years my friend.  I never say never.  My hopes hinge on who is makings those decisions going forward.  So I'm in neutral until other dominoes fall.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's a different vibe for sure. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and his general plan---that which he tells the world---sounds like a working plan. Reich didn't seem to have a plan, and Rhule's plan was ill-suited for grown men. Reich coached like a zombie---just dead and uninspiring. Rhule thought that he could take his college guys and dominate in the pros, smiled in guys faces and threw them under the bus. His brand of motivation has plays running to a DBO sign. Canales seems to be schooled in motivation, but also believes the stuff he is selling down to his core. We'll see if it holds up.
