Leadership is not the problem

The mid 2010s era had TD, Cam, Olsen, and Kalil swinging their dicks in the locker room. Luke too, but he seemed to be more lead-by-example. Part of the reason Rivera was so hands-off was because of this veteran leadership. Young guys and JAG’s respected the veteran core and didn’t fug around.

 The current squad has nobody like that. The closest thing we’ve had recently was Gilmore and Cam’s corpse for half a year. And arguably Baker. Ran all 3 off. Noticing a trend?

 

Luke was weird.  He turned into the rage monster when he stepped on the field Sunday.  Rarely see such an extreme Jeckyll and Hyde like that.  He wasn’t leading by example on Sundays but totally see it that way the other 6 days.

It’s a symptom of the problem. The largest problem and the absolute root of why the Panthers are where they are… the not allowed alpha male.

Tepper allows only one alpha, him. Ironically but also very telling, although he asserts himself as the alpha figure of the organization, he exudes insecure beta vibes…. All. Day. Long. 

Alphas lead. They are WINNERS. People NATURALLY gravitate to them for direction and guidance. They don’t even have to say a word and you can spot them a mile away. They have a look. An energy. People come to them, not the other way around. They remain calm in the face of adversity, until stay calm time is over.

Insecure betas can not have true alphas around. The insecure beta wants to be the one people NATURALLY gravitate towards, but it never happens. Beta also exudes its own kind of energy. In a group, they will try to say something but no one listens. They inflate themselves to be someone and something they are… but they’re not. The insecurity and indecision is palpable. There is chaos. 

Since the respect and gravitation never occurs naturally, they then try to find some sort of leverage so they can artificially elevate themselves to the status they desire. This is where we are now. 

The Panthers will stay right where they are until Dave allows alphas back in to the organization. I see it in Evero, Luvu (emerging), maybe Brown, Bozeman and Horn. There is no coincidence that when Dave bought the team and our team leaders left, everything went to hell. Top top it all off, he brought in the most submissive beta I’ve ever seen to play NFL ball, and injected him as the default team leader. Coincidental? That’s debatable. 

People are looking for trim carpenters when we haven’t even cleared the lot yet. Forget about an x and o guy for now. People say burn it all down. Bros, this MF’er has already burned down. 

We need Servpro. A true alpha.  We need someone who can come in with the directive and blessing to fix the team. A guy who can go down the roster and say to each player and coach ‘either do better or you’re off MY team.’ Players who consistently half ass it are a cancer to the team. They used to get dealt with… 

Only a true alpha personality will be able to accomplish this. We had it, the results showed up immediately, and it was sent away… but that ship has sailed. The talent is on this team to win in the NFL. They showed it last season. 

Please Dave, this will be the only way to win. Players won’t respect a coach when they know that coach is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the owner. No one respects a yes man. Especially grown ass men who know the ish you’re telling them to do, through your puppet coach, will never work. I hope you can see it and make a change if winning is your true intention. 

So leadership is the problem?

    • "Bryce Young did not have a good rookie season compared to other QBs selected #1 overall. My eyes say so." But... why don't the facts support this? WOA THERE NOW! Whether you're a Stroud Boy sitting down and idling by or a devout member of BrySIS, I come in peace. The purpose of this write-up is to explore the validity of a common complaint echoed by disgruntled Panthers fans. This isn't proving that Bryce Young is without fault for 2023-2024. It isn't demanding that everybody only cheer for him and never criticize. Hell, it isn't even a "Bryce is good" post. It is just a statistical look at BY9's rookie season compared to other QBs taken at #1 overall. A quick note on methodology: All of the data was pulled from Pro-Football-Reference.com, which did not have advanced stats for any QB entering the league before 2017 (Hurries, Hits, Pressures, Pressure %, Drops, and Drop %). Going back to 2000, there have been 18 QBs selected #1 overall . Blacked out boxes are for missing/invalid data. Below is the comparison: Perhaps the only thing that Panthers fans can agree on is that, despite fears regarding his size, Bryce Young can take the punishment that an NFL defense can dish out over the course of a season. While he did miss one game, the only QB that's started more games their rookie season is Trevor Lawrence. This was in spite of BY9 being sacked, hurried, hit, and pressured more than any other rookie since 2000 except David Carr (who is also #1 for fumbles and fumbles lost, where as Bryce is #2 in both of those categories). The one stat that Young did lead in was pressure percentage... No other QB in the last 25 years has been pressured more during their rookie campaign than Bryce Young. Even with all of that working against him, his body still held up.  This isn't anything new to anybody with a functioning set of eyes. Even people that think Bryce should still order from the kid's menu will admit that having eight different left guards and nine different right guards is probably going to make an already difficult situation for a rookie more difficult. This is where mobility helps bails teams out, and an additional area of concern for detractors. We won't see Young doing the same thing we saw Cam do such as carrying a defensive lineman downfield on his back or steamrolling a defensive back into the dirt. We did see him scramble though enough to put up the 7th highest rushing yards for a QB selected at #1 since 2000. Also not new to fans was the underperformance of the weapons fielded by the team last season. Scheme, playcalling, and inability to separate have been beaten to death but what if I told you that the group also had the third most drops for the third highest drop percentage out of all other teams supporting a #1 rookie QB? To say that the entire offense surrounding Bryce failed him is an understatement, and it reflects in the stats. With that context in mind, let's dive into the passing stats... Completions: 5th (315) Attempts: 6th (527) Completion %: 7th (59.8%) Passing Yards: 9th (2,877) Passing TDs: 11th (#11) INTs: 12th (10)     Having the fifth most completions, sixth most attempts, seventh highest completion percentage, and ninth most passing yards all place Bryce Young in the top half of the sample group. He was also 12th in INTs, meaning that despite the constant duress he was under while trying to find an open target that Bryce was not turning the ball over as frequently as other QBs did their rookie year. Being 11th in passing TDs is frustrating, but it's hard to get into the redzone with all of the aforementioned issues as well as the not-so-silent drive killer: penalties. Carolina was #4 in the league this past season for pre-snap penalties with 45. That means that every game had two to three false start penalties. In 2022, teams averaged 10.9 drives per game. If the same holds true for 2023, the Panthers averaging over ~2.64 false starts a game means that 25% of their offensive drives are being marched back five yards. Are these all just excuses in the end and Bryce will never be able to contend for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title? Maybe. Will it make some fans any less insufferable? Definitely not. What it will do though is help make the last two hours of a three hour meeting go by much, much faster. Hope y'all have been well. Keep Pounding!
    • He has a lot to work just to be an average starter and I dont see it happening.  Lots of blame to go around for last season but Bryce was a big part of that, even in the GB game he was dropping too far back and allowing the pass rush to tee off on him.  He cant use the same little quirks that he used in college to overcome his size in the NFL.
