Panthers Need A New QB Coach

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever wondered why we cannot develop a second receiver? I was thinking that the Panthers have been super unfortunate when it come to drafting and developing them. What if it is Fox's, "eye" for coaching talent, and his inability to see that Richard Williamson does not have what it takes anymore to develop what comes in. I know that he is from the Bear Bryant school of coaching, but what if his style is just old. I noticed that in the past few years that the newer coaches that come in are younger and better able to relate to the youthful players. Maybe Williamson is just too old. Think about it, Bear Bryant, how long ago was it that he coached?

When Fox was hired, I remember saying that retaining Williamson seemed like a good move. The Panthers had Muhsin and Jeffers have excellent years in the then recent past. Smitty developed into Superman and Williamson's star was shining even brighter. Proehl was a seasoned veteran, so RW couldn't louse him up.

But, the milk has curdled. I first called for Williamson's firing over a year ago. This new camera that flies over the field gives a great angle for watching receivers. There is little juking from the wr's to get separation. Watching receivers on other teams set up and fake the DB is awesome. Our WR's do a bit of it with their feet, but little with the upper body.

Having said that, I think a lot of the problem lies, not only with Williamson, but with having a quarterback that can't get them the ball. We've had guys just as talented as the Saint's guys and the Viking's guys but they don't develop the confidence that comes with being productive on game days. When their WR's get open, the ball gets to them in a catchable place. Success breeds confidence. Confidence breeds success. The run-first strategy and feed-the-stud; when passing is necessary; doesn't allow young guys to get much thrown their way.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
