Note to Carolina Panthers coach Fox: Taking risks can be rewarding


Rod Butsecks

Recommended Posts

(By Scott Fowler, [email protected]) The New Orleans Saints provided a blueprint Sunday for the way you win a Super Bowl as an underdog against one of the best quarterbacks in history - something the Carolina Panthers couldn't quite do six years before.p/Namely, you take risks. When one fails, you take some more. If you go down, you go down utterly spent.

The gutsy calls are overshadowing "the drive" that put the Saints up for good by 7. That was a Championship drive.

From NFL Playbook.

New Orleans Saints at 10:39

1-10-NO 41 (10:39) (Shotgun) R.Bush left tackle to IND 47 for 12 yards (C.Session). R16

1-10-IND 47 (10:00) D.Brees pass short right to P.Thomas to IND 42 for 5 yards (G.Brackett).

2-5-IND 42 (9:19) (Shotgun) D.Brees pass short left to D.Henderson to IND 36 for 6 yards (T.Jennings). P17

1-10-IND 36 (8:36) (Shotgun) D.Brees pass short left to R.Bush ran ob at IND 28 for 8 yards.

2-2-IND 28 (8:06) D.Brees pass short left to M.Colston pushed ob at IND 20 for 8 yards (T.Jennings). P18

1-10-IND 20 (7:34) D.Brees pass short right to R.Meachem pushed ob at IND 14 for 6 yards (A.Bethea).

2-2-IND 2 (5:46) D.Brees pass short right to J.Shockey for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

(Pass formation) TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. D.Brees pass to L.Moore is incomplete. ATTEMPT FAILS.

New Orleans challenged the incomplete pass ruling, and the play was REVERSED.

(Pass formation) TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. D.Brees pass to L.Moore is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.

NO 24 IND 17, 9 plays, 59 yards, 4:57 drive, 9:18 elapsed

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
