One of my biggest complaints in the regular work world was when decisions were made by people who were ill-informed to make those decisions.

That's a problem no matter where it happens.

It's one of the things that was the hardest for me to learn in business. You hire people who excel in certain areas. I can't know everything. My job is to manage the people. Letting go, especially for a control freak, is extremely difficult to do.

Yeah I think he jumped the gun on changing the entire scheme before the roster was ready.  

I'd expect he was always going to go into it with a West Coast based scheme.

BUT...

Per his own words, Reich stated that he wanted to tailor the scheme to fit the players rather than the other way around.

It doesn't look like he's doing that.

thats pretty obvious at this point

Which is why I'm not too concerned about what really thought about the roster/team before the season started.  He and his staff developed an offense without taking into consideration the strength of the players on the roster.

The question becomes what will they do in the coming offseason?

You certainly can't install an entirely new offense in the middle of the year, but you can tailor the attack to your personal plenty over a full offseason.

That, or you can make some changes to the line so that they better fit what you want to run.

Which is what makes it even more confusing. We have a line built to run over people but instead are one of the highest passing teams in the league.

it's weird, it's almost like coaches and teams just sell you a bunch of bologna publicly they want you to believe.  Not that it's all rooted in truth.  So maybe you can't put much stock in their words. 

I got this weird deja vu feeling.

Regardless of who's calling the plays...

I know people were looking for the switch from Reich to Brown to make a big difference, it really didn't.

The playbook is the playbook and it's built around these complicated blocking schemes that don't play to our lines strengths. Changing playcallers wasn't going to change much if you're still reading from the same book.

It is only tailored to fit Bryce. This is where most of the problem is coming from. We cannot keep running this and taking 4-6 sacks with another 10 knockdowns every game. Our team is not built for this system outside of BY.

I'd say the receiver spot could be an issue there as well.

What you want ideally in a WCO is a set of receivers who have great run after the catch ability.

I don't see very much of that on our team.

We have more of the run away from the ball kind of WRs and slow ass Thielen

      Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!

      XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
