Right now Bryce doesn't just have bad footwork. He has no footwork to speak of. He's the equivalent of a rookie NBA point guard who hasn't been trained to dribble or pass. If you want to see what bad but fixable footwork looks like, look no further than rookie Aaron Rodgers. It took him three years on the bench to fix his footwork and his throwing mechanics. Three years. How long will it take to teach Bryce proper footwork and throwing mechanics? Nobody knows, but it'd make an interesting case study and a cautionary tale.

That is why guys like him don’t go up top. I don’t know what was in peoples’ brains. Alleged professionals.

You might be right.  Unfortunately, we didn't have the players to make that neutered offense remotely effective.  It might have been nice to have a running back or a wr that could easily turn a 5 yard catch into 15-20 (CMC or DJ) or a rb that could power for 4-5 ypc on average (Foreman).  But our most talented players from 2022 played for other teams this year.  

Well, the thing that made that a losing strategy (which Reich damn well knew) was the non stretching of the field, the ridiculous number of guys people were putting in the box, etc.

It makes it about impossible to play that dink game.

Its not a good offense, no doubt.  But I have seen it work for other teams better than it did for us, especially if you have a power back or some guys who are more of a threat with YAC.  

But for us, it was probably the worst Panthers offense I have ever seen.

What the bleep is that drop back technique where he slooooooowly walks backward with his hips parallel to the line? Has no coach in all the years he's been playing ever tried to teach him how to do a proper drop? How is the line suppose to block for him when he doesn't hurry backward and set the point? How does he keep time on timing throws? I mean what the bleep am I watching?

Everyone talks about the S2 score. I barely remember that being brought up before the draft. I must have not been paying attention.

Safe to say you weren't paying attention.

CJ Stroud himself had to come out and say he's a football player not a test taker. Well. The young man certainly proved himself there.

i love these videos where someone puts together everything they think should have been a catch, ignoring that half of these are terribly placed balls. Just because a WR has a ball hit their hands doesn't mean it's an easy catch. 

And so what? Give him every "dropped" TD and every dropped yard. He was still terrible. 

And this is to say nothing about dropped interceptions, or his league leading 11 fumbles that he was mostly lucky with. I'd make a video of those, but I don't have enough time and youtube won't let you upload videos that long.

I remember when the argument this was a bad year to chose a QB…that was a thing here. CJ has been great but damn revisionist here.

We chose correctly in 2011. 2023 we chose very poorly. It’s a coin flip in the NFL and poo happens.

This forum was the first to notice his unorthodox mechanics. All the scouts and coaches missed his noodle arm and cerebal palsy dropbacks

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
