I’d argue it’s been situational play calling. Feel like we’ve actually moved the ball pretty well and then we get stupid. 

I think Thomas Brown will change that. In usual Panthers fashion it's going to go either really well or really bad though.

This is just not true. Our offense is tied for 10th in total first downs. We are 9th in time of possession. It’s not good but it’s not the stagnant offense you’re claiming it is.

The offense isn’t the only thing to blame. I would argue the defense has been worse, but we are riddled with injuries so that adds up.

The reason why we are probably injured on defense is due to wear-and-tear, which goes back to our offense not being able to capitalize on drives.

Problem with our defense is we don't have the depth to make up for our injuries.

It’s close enough to tell you that we aren’t 0-6 on offense alone. 

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone seriously pitching that. I just wanted to update folks who come into a thread thinking we have the best scoring offense in the division to have correct information since we aren’t. It’s not a large gap, but the initial title was incorrect is all.

Through 6 games, Panthers would lead the NFC South in following categories

1. Points scored (112)

2. Points against (186)

You  look at our board and we focus so much on offensive problems but our defense has been extremely poor

Too many injuries at key spots.  And we have gotten repeatedly gashed in the run game.  Just like every other recent year.

Every time we try to switch to a 3-4 on the fly (without properly bringing in the right personnel) we fall flat on our face.  It's not as seamless of a switch as most people think.  There's a reason teams draft defensive personnel to fit them schematically, namely LBs, edge and D-line.

I think most people that thought it was easy are the bandwagoning, non deep diving types. I generally look at history when trying to predict stuff, I don’t know that I can think of a team that seamlessly ever just switched with the same players, and killed it. Might be someone somewhere. 

Anyway, I thought, considering what we were working with, the defense was outstanding early. Better than I expected by at least a couple notches. I don’t know I’d call Evero a disappointment off of these results

These guys we are using the secondary, I don’t know of a coach that can will them to win reps against quality NFL targets. Evero, Wilks, hell Vince Lombadri himself couldn’t win with them.

The $250,000 Fanduel winner this week stacked the Dolphins. So going forward if you play FD you need to stack against the Panthers. I did but only a partial stack. I still cashed decently.

Seems like stacking Dolphins would have good results overall this year

    • yep so its essentially working against us
    • Solid point about the rookie contract especially since I believe Tepper and company brought that up, he was so good we could sign other players while he is on a rookie deal and capitalize on the cap space. Sorta like Seattle did with Russ while he was on a rookie deal. But, problem is Bryce isn’t close to that version of Russ and Tepper sucks as an owner. 
    • Look at who they’re interviewing there.  parcels, aikman, Peyton etc. the youngest guy is KOC who’s forty.  The passing game 25, 35, 45 years ago looked less glamorous to be sure but it was far more complex. You didn’t have these packages where you’d make quick checks, every play was its own thing, basically everyone was playing under center etc. once the nfl got out of the dead ball era things became very complex very quickly and they hadnt figured out a way to truncate it. Plus it was nowhere in college or high school. Vertical passing attacks just didn’t exist.  So yeah parcells probably does have that view because that’s what he came up in. Aikman had to learn that when he got to the nfl. Aikman was so lost his rookie season the cowboys almost took Jeff George first overall in 1990.  Today the learning curve is a lot lower. pro concepts today borrow a great deal from the college game now. Tons of air raid stuff, RPO, pistol, etc. even though everything is faster at every position, it’s schematically more simple. The learning curve is nowhere near what it was for even Peyton manning when he came out.  plus, prospects today are basically pro qbs from the time they’re in middle school. Bryce Young for example lived in invite only qb camps since he reached his max height at 12 years old. The whole “they shouldn’t get paid because they get a degree for free” was always just an insincere argument from racist old people, but no one even pretends to make it anymore. Playing qb at a division 1 school is a full time job for years before you even get to campus.  And that is all they do. The days of people excelling in multiple sports to the point there’s pro interest and then just choosing one or the other and succeeding are over. Aikman was drafted by the Mets out of high school and decided to go start as a freshman at Oklahoma.  The exact opposite is happening now, to the point you’ve got guys going to play baseball for a few years, coming back to college football, and playing until they’re like 27.  that’s actually one of the theories about why darnold isn’t better than everyone feels he should be. He only played two years of college football. In highschool he was first team all everything in every sport. Dude has an insane athletic pedigree. But there’s at least four years of highschool invite camps he never got to go to. You can’t just be the most athletic guy in the room anymore.  So obviously the older guys are complaining about how things are done; it’s what offer guys do. But the pro game today is much more accessible for these guys than it was back in their day, and the players are more ready for the transition. Like is anyone defending Anthony Richardson? What im saying is we know what Bryce young is and we should t wait for waiting’s sake.
