PFF: What's wrong with the Carolina Panthers offense?

Remember those Mingo/TMJ hype threads in the off-season?

 

 

But, what's your point? TMJ looks to be traded and Mingo is a rookie. They're both really the same type of receiver, and there's nothing indicating to me that Mingo's not going to meet his potential with more experience. I believe that he can be a very adept possession receiver one day.

He was a bad pick. Four WRs drafted in front of him and Quentin Johnston is the only underperformer. 

Jayden Reed on GB has been better. Rashee Rice has been better. Tank Dell has been better. Jalin Hyatt has been better. Josh Downs has been better. Michael Wilson has been better. 

And thats just through round 3. Right now it looks like we could have thrown a dart and at random drafted a WR who is performing better than him. There are only like 2 or 3 playing worse. And my point during the draft around him was that he was never very good to the point he should have gone in round 2. You couldn't get 1k yards as the top dog in Ole Miss's offense? Cmon. 

And TMJ is a bust so we have a recent history of swinging and missing on WRs we draft. The one good one we drafted and developed we traded away and hes on pace to have a career year in catches, yards, touchdowns despite not coming close to his career high in targets.

I think TMJ is basically done here. I doubt we will be able to trade him because he doesn't have any real trade value.

Mingo is a rookie. I am not sure I see much ceiling but at least he has room for growth. I just haven't really seen any evidence of that for TMJ.

Lots of words to say our offense has been one of the worst in the NFL and outside of AT, nothing has been great. And y'all can sleep on him but AT has been great. Better than expected for a WR of his age. 

We average 5.5 yards per pass attempt as a team so far in 2023. The last time Carolina was that low was 2010 when we averaged 5.4 for the season. Clausen averaged 5.2 and Bryce is currently averaging 5.3. 

We have a new playcaller tomorrow and Bryce gets more and more experience under his belt each week. I am expecting a pretty good game from him in a game that should be close the entire way.

His average numbers are skewed so low because of his first 2 games which were historically conservative. Since then he’s much closer to league average with average yard per attempt, and he’s averaging over 200 yards a game. As the season goes on and he gets more comfortable I think his production will at least move towards the mean

Don't forget Puka Nacua (ROTY candidate)

Also Demario Douglas and Marvin Mims (fanboy here, really wanted this dude)

I recall hearing something about how we wouldn't need top end receivers We were going to have this dynamic, innovative, maestro magician playing qb like a hall of fame all-time NBA star point guard. We could maybe even invest a little less cash in wrs, since our super computer qb would be distributing that ball around so skillfully and quickly that defenses wouldn't know where it was coming from, and where it was going.

I mean, you can say that this one or that one has been better, but there are just so many angles that have to be included within the context that I just have a hard time saying that this one "has been" better, and even if they have been we're only talking a few games at the beginning of their rookie years. The online ones that I would say have personally been markedly better are Josh Downs (who I'd have to get), Tank Dell, and Rashee Rice who has flashed. That being said, they've had more opportunity to flash as well, whether it be by situation (including play calling) or playing with QBs that are better prepared to play the game. Downs has markedly better numbers playing with Gardner Minshew, Rice is playing with Pat Mahomes, and Dell is playing with Stroud who is a great pure passer and is being coached very well--as well as the whole team. Our play calling has been somewhat uninspired and disjointed in pertains to the passing attack. Now, of course Mingo has played a part in that, but at the end of the day receivers don't develop at the same speed. And, ultimately, It's just too early to draw conclusions.

He wasn’t even a 1k yard receiver in college though. He wasn’t a blazer or burner or anything like that. I’ve just always felt round 2 was too high for him. Other guys had higher ceilings if that’s what you were drafting. And other dudes had way better production and did better at the combine. I just didn’t view him where the Panthers did I guess and he’s not panned out and helped Bryce like we had hoped so far.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
