Whenever we have the ball, it doesn't feel that far removed from watching Ted Roof-era Duke football. I'm not even kidding. Continual failure to do basic crap correctly

It is legitimately unreal that man continued to get DC jobs after his Duke tenure. He was terrible at all of them too, held back CPJ's Tech teams immensely. I think he's now listed as OU's but I'm pretty sure Veneables calls all the plays there so he's a glorified high level assistant. Still fascinating, shows that coaching really is more about knowing people than anything.

You ain't kidding.

I WENT to a bunch of Roof-era games at Wallace Wade when we were losing by 30+ every week, and aside from the fact the team had zero talent, you could tell Roof didn't have a clue whenever he had a microphone stuck in front of him. Not exactly a coach I'd imagine recruits would want to play for.

But as your post relates to the Panthers - I think what you said about coaching being heavily about knowing people is bang-on, and why we should all temper our expectations about coaching hires until they actually start delivering success.

I too was guilty of being excited about this year's coaching staff. Woof.

This season is hands down the worst one in the history of the team.  

It isn’t over yet. Something could happen, even off the field that would make it better. I actually think next year sets up to be worse. 

We will have to watch our rightful selection who will be a very choice selection, selected by the team we are subsidizing. 

So we will get to see that, and if they make a good choice, we will get to see that player ascend through video highlights. Weekly. And we got what we got now, basically. Sound like fun?

I think its just because we were sold such a great idea. Its just that great disappointment of being so disillusioned that makes it so bad. 
 

 

I remember posting on the huddle right after we traded up to #1 & said pretty much that we had royally screwed up by doing so.so yeah I am not surprised by all of this whatsoever...just saying

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
