Yet he put up crazy numbers anyway. So I guess he’s being Uber accurate and throwing folks open who aren’t. 

He (CJ) definitely was throwing into very tight windows last game... Probably sometimes to dudes people here would say weren't open.  But the chart suggests he's inaccurate when throwing to open windows, which I did not see last game. Didn't watch his first game at all, though.

Players are giving up on their routes early, we are calling rub routes but we are missing the rub, the timing is off on our meshes, and multiple receivers are in the same area at the same time on several plays. It’s pretty bad….

As usual, good information @TheCasillas.

I have been attributing the lack of separation and bunching up as a play design issue, but realized it was possible the receivers were just effing up their routes.  I dismissed that thinking that scenario would require too much effing up to be credible.  I should have known, there is no such thing as too much screwing up to be possible.

Your initial observations on the All 22 are consistent with what I was seeing (as was bad play design).

Something has to give.  I thought this team had a chance to make the playoffs (but not expecting it) based about 50% on it being a weak division, even if it is not as weak as last year.  The other 50% was about half dependent on our receivers being better as a group than they individually look on paper.  Instead, they have been worse than they look individually on paper. 

Having a young QB trying to distribute the ball to the Keystone Kops, whether by execution or play design, is not a ticket to success now or in the longer term.

One of the critiques I'm hearing from the media is the Panthers lack a deep threat to spread the offense. But I'm confused. I thought TMJ was supposed be good at that, considering:

I typed up an article on the wide receiver problem that Carolina unfortunately finds itself in...once again. As always, thanks for checking out my work! I do not get paid for clicks and am always just excited to share my work with this forum.

Thanks for the write up

wouldve been nice if this all star coaching staff and GM could’ve figured that out before the season started

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
