So our stupid meddling owner that should never make another football decision is responsible for this popular move that the HC said he was going to make before the season started? Lol Don’t ever change, huddle.

No coach is going to stand there and say Tepper said I had to do it.  Nor would Tepper want that.   None of that would square. 

and you know it wasn’t the truth with Frank’s bullshit reasoning of why he decided now…..when he claimed he finally had the offense in a rhythm as the justification.   No one that follows football believes the Panthers offense is finally in a rhythm lol.   They got blanked the last 3 quarters vs a meh defense.  That’s a bold face lie.

It's common knowledge that the first ~15 offensive plays or so are scripted by coaching staffs, then the playcalling becomes a game of chess. I think once Reich went through what the offensive staff scripted together, he reverted to his playcalling which seems to lean more pass oriented.

I think the fake punt was scripted too. We weren't expecting to be ahead the first time we punted the ball lol

Interesting how many here think:

One of Reich's big downfalls is that he shouldn't be calling plays and managing the games

AND

If Brown calling the plays causes the offense to look better, Reich should be fired and promote Brown to head coach.

I don't quite get that round of thinking.

100% agree that Reich should have handed play calling duties over earlier.

Hopefully this works out and helps with game management and play calling. Let Reich direct traffic and Brown concentrate on calling plays. Agree that the bye week is a great time to make this change.  Maybe we get a couple guys healthy and scrap up a couple wins.

I wish I could pie this twice.

Have you listened to anything this idiot of a coach has said?  Do you really think he knows what he is doing?  I don't, and don't really care how this decision came about, it needed to happen now.

There are other issues I don't like about Reich's coaching style and game management.  But we'll see.  I definitely don't think he needs to be fired yet.

If Tepper really wanted a win, he'd tell Frank to start Dalton.  It's not about wins right now rather than developing Young and to prove to everyone that Bryce was the correct choice HE made.

The great Andy Dalton who couldn’t get a win against a bottom 5 pass defense while throwing 60 times with a healthy defense backing him. Let that poo go

99% of people here know Dalton is a steaming pile of poo as a starter. The want our #1 pick to make him look like a distant memory though. Bryce and company can start doing that next Sunday against the Texans and Stroud.

honestly i think people are just impatient and want to win something. With Dalton, until very recently was our only time our offense was somewhat clicking for a moment. Some also don't want to destroy BY's confidence and end up like Sam Darnold.

I can understand the hesitation but with what we invested in him he's just going to have to work through it and hopefully become a better seasoned QB from it.

Honestly with Darnold the Jets probably gave him one year too many. He just didn't have it.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
