I feel like most people are just being snarky in here and acting like Converting short yardage is an easy task when I've seen the team struggle with it previously. Yes different staff and players but I have some bad memories of cmc getting walled in crucial short yard scenarios. 

No you don't need a big power back but it helps. Can you really tell me Foreman didn't help in that regard??

Somebody said Tom Brady and qb sneak.  Tom Brady is 6 foot 4 come on 

I just see Bryce always on shotgun all the time in his highlights, and it just made me wonder how we're going to covert goal line situations. 

I hope that Camerun dude from app state makes the roster and replace Blackshear or Chubba. 

 

I'm  not saying it's easy and I don't think really anyone is. I just don't know why anyone is worried about this stuff right now?

I could see it being a concern if the season was starting in a week or two, but it's not.

The team we have post draft isn't the finished product.

These guys are smart. They know where we need help and they've got options to address it still. There will be free agents. There will be schemes utilizing who we've got. They'll make adjustments and adapt and find a way to make it work.

Call me naive, but I trust this group of coaches and this FO to find who we need and figure it all out using who we have when the season actually starts. It's not like the team is being run by Matt Rhule anymore.

Give it time. Lord knows we've got plenty of it before the season starts.

So the line will just push up instead of forward. This creates a teepee or arch effect, thus allowing our tiny QB to earn several yards. The D wont be looking at their legs and he slips on by. Also at his height, every tackle is close to a head shot. Easy+15

Sometimes converting short yardage is more than just run it up the middle with your biggest guy. Tom Brady is the king in converting short yardage QB sneeks. Was he the most physically gifted QB? Of course not. I'm sure with the collective football IQ that now resides on our offensive staff that they will figure it out. Just have to wait and see.

This is why I'd have liked to see us sign Jamaal Williams if Bryce was going to be the pick, those 1 yarders are his specialty and would have been a useful tool in our arsenal.

Wouldn't hate adding Zeke if it could be done cheap, but I think if he was going to take a small contract, he'd go to more of a contender before us.

Wouldn't be against adding Fournette for those either, or possibly Latavious.

Maybe Tremble can figure out how to take handoffs during training camp?  He could work well in those situations if he can get the exchange down in camp.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.

      Didn't he not beat a winning team all season while putting up pro-bowl numbers?  Faster, better arm, bigger....still a weak point for his playoff team with all of that talent around him. People are so twisted up in the Panther fan base that they can't tell how ungrounded they are at this point.
