Frank delegated creating the playbook to Brown who has never been OC before. 

Who designs screens to Ian Thomas?  Seriously. 

I'm not impressed with Brown's play design and I'm not convinced Brown calling plays will fix anything.  Execution has been poor as well, including mind numbing penalties.  That's on coaching. 

Combine that with an average overpaid RB with fumblitis, a LT with a sophomore slump, injuries across the interior and you have 0-5.

This is a great point for everybody clamoring for Brown to take over. He designed the plays, so all the complaining about the screens and shorts passes all goes back to him anyway. All that doesn't make him a savior.

Oh yeah for sure. Especially trading up to acquire him. Stroud made the most sense with the risk that was involved with the trade up. At worst you have a Goff type QB who is pretty solid. 

Exactly!! And it blew my mind how much fans had a problem with this anyway. All things considered, goff might be on his way to playing in a superbowl this year and it was well established none of the qbs in this draft were hitting the generational meter. At worst stroud would be a solid starter for any well built team that could get you to the playoffs along with having the quality qb physical traits. Might as well go with that guy to avoid looking about on the trade like you absolutely squandered it and will set you back some time. I just never bryce having the higher ceiling.

? designing a play is one thing. Running it 8 times a game is a whole different thing. You have to have short passes and screens in your playbook, you don’t have to make them your entire game plan though

Who cares who you wanted he a Panther now. That’s the issue with y’all, would rather be right than root for the Panthers. It’s lame 

I’d rather the team win than personally be right. I just think a lot of fans are tired of seeing the team make obviously bonehead moves and maybe not win a single game this season which is totally warranted to not be very supportive of that team.

I think Tepper and Nicole heavily influenced the pick by being vocal they liked him. I think that was enough for Frank and Fitt to get them to lean towards picking the player that their boss is happy with as opposed to taking the risk on Stroud and getting fired by Tepp if it doesn’t work out.  It was clear to me from the videos that McCown preferred Stroud but not sure he even had a vote

I agree but having a preference is not an unusual level of involvement for an owner with the #1 pick to me, let alone one whose team had gave up their biggest star to get there. It's certainly not the gun to Frank's head being depicted around here. If he went against own judgement to kiss the boss's ass that's his own damn fault. End of the day they all signed off on Bryce and have to own that.

Thinking back to the pre draft process what exactly did Young show that Stroud didn’t?

Stroud has him beat in every physical category badly so it was just his ability to process? Did they not even talk to Stroud?

Because AR was number 2 on their board which again combined with the Darnold, Baker and Corral crap this entire scouting departments ability to scout literally any position at this point is pathetic. The fact they’re getting paid to do so is even worse.

Let's not act like Bryce isn't abnormally small for a QB. He's historically small. 

Perhaps the "big QB" thing meant "just not a little guy" as opposed to Cam Newton, Big Ben, or Josh Allen.

I'd say that ~6'2" and 220 isn't necessarily a big QB, but a normal one within an NFL context.

AR has size we want, meanwhile I’d be willing to bet his career is done long before Bryce’ is.

Seeing how bad this coaching staff is we should’ve just rolled with Corral and he would’ve led us to Williams or Maye

Much like we should’ve never signed Teddy and we would’ve possibly landed Lawrence. Although I think we would’ve ended up with Wilson since the Jags only won 1 game that season

The Panthers have a lengthy history of being wrong unfortunately. The win/loss record speaks for itself as well. 99% would rather have a football team that looks like they belong in the NFL this team is barely high school level at times. And the folks who were dead set against any QB not named Young were anything but low-key about it. Considering we are now watching pretty much the worst case scenario with this pick it's inevitable these discussions will continue to be prevalent. Sorry you think reality is lame but thems the breaks my guy 🤷‍♂️

If nothing else that should have been plan B.  Stick at 9 and see how the draft started to unfold.  If someone fell make a move if not dont get panicky and do something drastic and roll with MC, I mean you said you had a first round grade on him and you spent 2 picks to get him why not at least have him in your plans for a season?  This franchise fuging blows

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      As good as our Oline has been running the ball, pass protection has been average at best.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Last year, Bryce was attempting and completing balls around and past 20 yards.  I mean he had 2 TDs that were ~20 yards in weeks 16 and 17. He had And he had one of the highest intended air yards per pass attempt in 2024, at 8.6. This put him at the same as Herbert, Jackson, Love, and many others.  He was well above the league average of 7 something. His average depth of target was 9th best in the league.  After week 10 he basically was one of the best deep passers in the league and has only one game without multiple 20 yard completions. The issue is this year, his average intended air yards is down to six. He isn't going deep at all, and when he is, he's missing people. He doesn't look good this year.

      So, Is Bryce Playing this Week or Nah?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      AT did come back and looking at AT now at Minnesota he has 5 catches for 47 yards and 0 TDs on the season.  Not sure he is some game changer on offense but yeah Bryce had good chemistry with him due to lack of options.   They get overhyped not doubt.  Just looking at last year, I liked him in the Chiefs game, Tampa right after (over 300 total yards 2 TDs and 0 turnovers, Chuba's fumble cost us the game if I remember correctly), he was fine in Arizona but wasn't asked to do anything as the running game carried us, and the Falcons game obviously.  Dallas last year was horrible he had like 2 fumbles and 2 INTs and it was during his post benching little run.  This year I liked what I saw in the Arizona rally (first quarter sucked), Dolphins rally for the win (learning to finish), and the Cowboys (some clutch throws and a solid winning drive).  He still has a lot of work to do to get an extension IMO, I'm just saying people are looking at some of those Dalton games through rose colored glasses....
