Is Thomas Brown just calling plays from Frank Reich’s playbook?

Maybe they are just both really not good? Brown is a yet and Reich is a duh. 

Some people were ready to promote him to HC without ever watching him run the offense. Now it looks like Reich was actually telling the truth and it's all a cooperative effort...

Thomas Brown didn’t come with his own playbook right? He’s just calling plays from Frank Reich’s 1983 offensive playbook? 

I don’t think things can get any worse after the Panthers lose to the QB they passed on today. 


Brown said before the season that Frank asked him to write the playbook. Frank gave his input after the initial draft, but it’s mostly Brown’s playbook.

You mean the playbook he and Frank made together?  I would say very likely.

“But Brown said he has free range to build the playbook – the first time he's done it in the NFL, and the second time he's done it in his career (he built the playbook at Miami while working as a college offensive coordinator under Mark Richt from 2016-18).

When the offensive staff sits at a conference table in his office, Brown presents his work for position coaches to help tailor details and solidify certain areas.

"The first thing I really appreciate about Frank is he's let me just roll so far," Brown said. "So being able to kind of put my own stamp on it and just be with the guys in this room while he handles some stuff from a head coach standpoint, it's been awesome for me.”

I thought it was Frank's playbook, play calling, player selection, penalties and injuries?  Frank wasn't solely responsible for all of this?

Been saying that. 

I wasn't expecting any better play calling and that is what I saw.  The playbook looked the same.

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
