Years of bad decisions

In 2014 we cut the best WR in Panthers history, Steve Smith. In 2016, we let Josh Norman walk at the top of him game. In 2017, we traded the best RB in the game abs wasted three picks we got for him with our coaching. Traded away another developed talent in WR DJ Moore. In 2020, Bridgewater was very productive at QB, but but hated by a lot of huddlers, then shunned by the organization when he spilled the beans about the team not praticing goal line offense. 2022 we let Reddick walk after a 11 sack season. We have a trend of getting rid of our best players. What do we fix first: o-line, Bryce, HC, o-line coaches, FO & or GM? I personally think our biggest issue is that we have no foundation to build from, without that, everything falls...

We’re always a step behind.  Paying that fat contract one year too late, shipping a player one year too soon, trading when we shouldn’t and holding when we shouldn’t.  We have to be a laughing stock across the league.  Every team is always looking to see how they can fleece us.  Then Fitts says “in on every deal” and the collective chuckle caused a butterfly effect tsunami in Asia somewhere.  We’re a joke, in fact we’re not even good at being a joke….we’re a bad joke.

Who was the RB in 2017 or was that a typo? Also don’t forget Evan Mathis. But this current cluster all goes back to Matt Rhule. Bridgewater should have never been here. We had Cam in the final year of his contract, all we had to do was keep him and see if he was still our guy. Then if he leaves and signs somewhere in FA he gets factored into the comp pick formula. Also, Hurney wanted to trade up for Justin Herbert but Rhule didn’t.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
