Casillas did that for week one. Not sure if he's able to do it this week or not because he has some...things coming up.

I just don't get why we aren't running wide-zone concepts, sails, stretching things out and then countering to open the middle of the field.  They also aren't setting anything up in the flat appropriately for quick easy yards.  And not doing this when we have Brown & McNown in house when it's supposedly a collaboration. 

McVay is still slapping at 100 mph, Canales is doing it quite well in TB, Waldron in SEA, Shanahan in SF...it's the modern NFL and we still aren't doing it.  

They hyped us up about a big collaborative offense taking from all the successful modern ones, but it looks like the bad Reich in Indy.  There's more draws than we've seen before in some time and what seems just like a dated scheme with some dated pistol wrinkles.  

Not enjoyable football.

CJ Stroud just put up 384 and two touchdowns against a divisional opponent with just as much to work with on offense as Bryce.

There really isn’t any other way to spin it. Young has had probably the worst statistical first two games for a number one overall QB in at least 20 years.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's as much or more about Young learning then it is about winning.

I'm okay with that. I know some of our more emotional crowd will be, but hey...

Let's be honest, would anyone hate firing Frank and hiring ya boy?

He'll never coach in the NFL

His style and how he is able to motivate players would never work in this league, it works with kids in college, and there is nothing wrong with that.

He's unique and he's going to end up being an elite college coach for as long as he wants to do it.

Stroud has skill players but a subpar line.

Bryce has a solid line but not much in the way of skill players.

At this point, I'd rather he be protected. We can get better skill players next year.

At least Deion recognizes where his place is. He could be an all time great college head coach. Matt Rhule didn’t understand that.

I disagree.  He would definitely need coordinators with a ton of nfl experience but I think he would do well in the NFL as well. The games would be exciting at least. I don't feel like I've had fun watching panthers football since 2017

Who are these skill players you speak of who are so much better then the Panthers?

I'm gonna guess you're joking, given that firing a coach two games into his stint would make us look like the most ignorant franchise in the league.

Good luck hiring anybody after you pull a dumbass stunt like that.

Who is going to bring them in and with what money if burns and brown are going to eat up 50 mil?

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
