Frank Reich is trying to put a square peg in a round hole

I posted my analysis of Bryce prior to draft and I got pooed a ton because it went against what fancy analysts were saying.

Bryce can be good QB and he can be very successful with the right system and talent around him.  Unfortunately, Frank is playing Young like a regular pocket QB which he is not.  Young is short and he cannot see/read blitzing packages yet Frank keep playing Young like conventional QB and putting him under center.  Other teams using this to their advantage and they are blitzing the hell out of him.  Bryce has no time to throw because he’s waiting for passing lanes to develop and other teams know it, they know if they get to Young within 3 seconds, he’s cooked.

What our amazing coaching staff should do is move Bryce to shotgun and play West Coast offense to buy him time and create passing lanes much sooner by shifting OL sideways.  Frank keeps forcing Young to do something that he will never excel in week in and week out.  Murdering our franchise QB.

Young cannot see blitzers on either side of the line and he will continue to get demolish until Frank begins rolling him out and buying him more time.

Frank Reich runs a west coast offense.... and BY has taken 70% of his snaps from shotgun/Pistol.....

 

Reich is based in the West Coast Offense. Reich is great at isolating his playmakers and helping his quarterbacks deliver the ball in combination with a strong run game.

Most of his snaps are coming out of the gun. He’s statistically been excellent throwing across the middle. He’s not “too short” to see blitz packages lol. He’s played three games and isn’t familiar with every disguise he’s going to see from a defensive front, and he has the league’s worst interior line with a left tackle that collapses whenever the heat is on and can’t stand one on one against a blitzing safety.

frankly given his passing chart over the middle your “analysis” is looking pretty terrible right now

I'm not sure what Frank is trying to accomplish with this offense. There's no running game and apparently a pass over 20 yards is not an option.  He needs to hand the play sheet to Brown so he can focus on who's on the field and the play clock instead of staring at the play sheet.

the concern i have today is the fact that Thomas Brown designs our run plays... and I have not been impressed with what I have seen. Now the counter argument to that could be the fact that we dont have the guard talent to execute Thomas' system. He does have a rather complex run system that was well executed in LA and has similiar concepts to MIA and SF. 

It would make sense if it was related to guard play, bc when BC was here and healthy our run game was effective. Ever since he got injured... our Guard play has been atrociouis in both run and pass.

 

I get people are frustrated... but if you are running a system like Thomas Brown's ... an effective oline is mandatory.

My guy, Bryce is literally in shotgun every single play.  I cannot remember many plays at all this season with the QB under center.

Been watching football in general, and the Nfl specifically for a very long time 

coaches tend to over complicate 

they tend to try and run ‘their system’ even if they do not yet have the players to run that system or if injuries have taken those players away 

IT IS SIMPLY impossible for them to think ‘tactical to strategic’ Wilks did, this guy can’t 

at this moment, if this head coach is going to stay with Bryce, he needs to

1. use KISS method. Run the ball no matter what it takes away from his system for now    This line has hit to learn to work together abs gain confidence band nothing does  that like running the ball

2.  get rid of his empty  set or one back backfield and if he throws, vertical 

3. give  the play calling to someone else 

4. Find something this offensive line can do and run it over and over again 

And if he doesn’t want an empty stadium, go back to Dalton and let young sit until Reich and his all staff get  his freaking offense fixed 

if I’m Tepper, if that doesn’t happen, Reich needs to be gone at the end of the year and elevate the DC 

as for the fans, I blame not one of them for not going to this poo show   I’ve lived through plenty of poo  shows with the Panthers and it really isn’t worth going to see a jv team suit up on pro football Sundays 

you can go see high school football and enjoy it more   They are at least  playing for the love of the game

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
