First 1/3 of this article is pretty telling

When reading this article, the first third of it is pretty damning when it comes to Reich and co. 

“Any coordinator still operating this way is immediately telling on himself.”

And that’s why our offense is the way it is.

Reading about the creativity of another mind from the Shanahan tree just makes me shake my head incessantly over here.

One source indicated to Go Long this week that some within the Panthers organization approached Reich and the coaches about needing to innovate offensively to fully maximize Young’s skillset. (More on this later.)”


Who is ‘some within the org’? Fitt and Tepper I assume?

That is aimed squarely at Frank. Rightfully so. This is an ancient offense. It hurts every single player on our roster.

I'm just wondering why Tepper, Fitterer and company ever thought that Reich was some type of offensive play calling guru. Fitterer and Morgan have seen enough football to know that Reich ain't the business. Someone had to lead Tepper down the wrong path. Simplistic schemes just aren't going to fool anybody in the modern NFL.

It would be a bit surprising if we came out if the bye week with Frank still as the play caller. Bye week is the perfect time to make a change. Time to see what Brown has, still a complete wildcard.

I don’t think it matters much who is calling plays. Brown wrote the playbook. This is his system too.

Remember, Brown was coaching RBs the past few years. This is his first go at OC in the NFL. 
 

IMO, Brown will be the first to get the boot. Frank will get another year with the ultimatum to find a better OC with a better offensive plan.

Just a guess but...I'm guessing he went with Reich because none of the hot candidates would take the job. They knew to stay away from Tepper.  So, Tepper went with Plan B: Offensive Coach who would put together a great staff.

Well look at the offensive minds they also brought in with him. They probably thought that would have some impact. In reality Frank was never gonna be comfortable straying from what he knew. He believes too much in what he is doing.

When he said they had a call that could go to Theilen and only him, and he wasn’t even in the game, he absolutely told on himself. This offense is stuck in the past. It’s Kanye the least innovative, least “dictating to the defense” offense that I’ve ever seen us run. It’s just slow and dated and boring. If Young was in Houston he’d be lighting it up like Stroud and if Stroud were here he’d seem stuck in the mud like Young. Reich has GOT to give up supreme control over the offense.

Brown wrote most of the playbook. I’m not sure if the ‘answer is on the roster’.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
