I’ve never understood why defensive head coaches, especially rookies, hire first time OC’s.

Stroud looked awful, from not playing the starting Oline, to looking like he had no coaching beforehand, wtf are the Texans coaching staff doing?

I think the Texans are just gonna Texan. They seem destined to fug up. And yes, I know those are some pretty big rocks I'm chucking around inside this Panthers fandom glass house. 😂

I saw a couple of shots on twitter, and in one he starred the guy down, in the other he was super later to a hole in the zone.  

The big knock on him was being able to process the information on the field.  Did he throw with any touch, timing or anticipation?  CJ has the tools to be a great QB, and I was all for him before we traded up to 1.  I don't want to see him fail (if for no other reason to be a successful OSU QB just so people stop making that argument).  He also seems like a nice kid (like most rookies) so you root for them.

Houston should not have him start if he's not ready.  You'll ruin him.  Look, let Davis Mills start until things slow down for CJ.  In those two shots, he looked like a deer in the headlights.  

I completely agree he needs time to sit back and learn. He really needs time to see the game study from the sideline it takes a qb time especially one who doesn’t process things as quickly as per say Bryce.

Yeah, the pick was dumb, but why were they running a 15 yard comeback route on 3rd and 20 something? Tank coulda just kept going on a go route and beat that CB yolo it's preseason

A risk I didn't anticipate when they didn't put Stroud back in... that Mills would actually look really good.

9/12 for 99 yards and a TD.

He has 26 starts under his belt already. I had no clue he had played that much football.

Yeah rookie D-minded HC, rookie OC, and a rookie QB learning behind Mills and Keenum was not that well thought out.

remember the Texans earned the secon pick in the draft...if Withers had coached from day one last year we probably would have won the division.

We're in a lot better shaped than Houston....particularly on OL

I am gonna guess Withers was computer spelled, and yeah, Stroud is with the team that Lovie screwed out of the first pick.

They are a legit trainwreck of a team and have a very young first time head coach who has a lot of seasoning to absorb.
Anyone coming to Carolina was ahead in the rebuilding and coaching up game by a major margin.

 Not before Rhule was fired. If Rhule had control of Bryce Young, I think we would be in deep water.  There is a whole different vibe now  since Reich got here that I cannot describe.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
