Do the Panthers have a shotgun problem and by extension a tell?

Through four games we've run 227 of 257 from the gun.  26 of the 30 plays we've ran from under center were rush attempts.

That's right we've only passed from under center four times, Bryce only once.  Below is the chart of plays ran from under center.  We are broadcasting to the defense that if we line up under center we are running the ball.  

Atlanta 68 of 70 plays from Shotgun
3Q 9:34-M.Sanders for 9 yards
3Q 4:52-C.Hubbard for 21 yards

New Orleans 45 of 52 plays from Shotgun
1Q 11:52-M.Sanders for 13 yards
1Q 10:36-M.Sanders for 1 yard
2Q 9:17-M.Sanders for -4 yards
2Q 6:18-B.Young 15 yard completion
2Q 5:02-M.Sanders for 6 yards
4Q 12:08-M.Sanders for 4 yards
4Q 11:26-M.Sanders for 5 yards

Seattle 62 of 72 plays from Shotgun
1Q 13:25-M.Sanders for 4 yards
1Q 10:21-M.Sanders for no gain
1Q 9:25-Dalton sacked for -11 yards
1Q 2:49-M.Sanders for no gain
2Q 12:07-M.Sanders for 1 yard
2Q 11:31-M.Sanders for 3 yards
2Q 8:34-Dalton incomplete
3Q 14:54-M.Sanders for 1 yard
3Q 14:13-Dalton incomplete
3Q 9:03-M.Sanders for 1 yard

Minnesota 52 of 63 plays from Shotgun
1Q 7:02-C.Hubbard for 7 yards
1Q 6:26-M.Sanders for 1 yard
1Q 5:14-C.Hubbard for 6 yards
1Q 3:48-A.Thielen rush for 6 yards
1Q 3:03-C.Hubbard for 5 yards
2Q 8:17-M.Sanders for 3 yards
3Q 15:00-M.Sanders for 1 yard
3Q 3:58-C.Hubbard for -1 yard
4Q 10:19-M.Sanders for 2 yards

This was already known if you watched Bryce Young at Alabama. I have to find the stat again, but I believe he only took 4 snaps under center his whole career at Alabama. It seriously limits what you can do and how you disguise your offense, but it can be done if we had a better HC and scheme.

Not only that, I'm also sad we will never be able to run QB sneak on important downs with Bryce. That also takes an almost automatic part of your offense out due to his size.

I knew it was bad but the numbers are truly disgusting. That falls squarely on Frank. We have to do better than letting everyone know if we’re under center with Bryce it’s a run. Just awful coaching and game planning there. 
 

please god let Thomas Brown step up

Yeah no doubt Bryce and shotgun go together like peas and carrots.  I just don't think we can stay on the 26/30 pace running the ball.  That is ungodly predictable.

So you want to explain why this was also the case in Seattle?

Guess people just have short term memory.

Back in the spring when Reich first got here.  And then we brought in Sanders.

It was noted by Reich then that  the offense was going to be similar to Philly’s and Even Sanders mentioned it.

After those comments it was also noted that the Eagles run primarily out of the shotgun.  There were even charts floating around to how much teams around the league have moved to the shotgun.  And the Eagles were at the top rarely running from under center.

 

The issue isn’t the shotgun.

The issue is the LG making Michael Jordan looking like Zac Martin

The issue is, the RG was bagging groceries a week ago

The issue is, Ickey having a sophomore slump.  And continuing the trend of Post Gross OTs playing at the level of Byron Bell, Remmers, Cam Erving, etc (a lot may be due to the new zone system vs Wilks power run heavy system)

 

The issue is, our “blocking” TE is getting rag dolled.

Reich is poo but it should be fairly obvious at this point some of the offensive scheme is built around Bryce Young's deficiencies that were known before the draft. There's only so much any coach is going to be able to do to compensate for Bryce Young's phsyical limitations. This was the risk with the pick.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
