CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- New Carolina Pantherscoach Dave Canales is hiring a familiar face as his offensive coordinator, but that person won't be calling the plays.

Brad Idzik, who followed Canales from the Seattle Seahawks to the Tampa Bay Buccaneersto coach wide receivers last season, will again follow Canales to the Panthers, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Canales, however, will call plays for the Panthers as he did as the offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay last season, sources told ESPN. Idzik, 32, has never been a playcaller.

I just hope these guys are innovative.  It is crazy to watch us run plays that are outdated and easy to defend.  It's frustrating to watch other teams run some pretty cool plays, and I am not talking gadget plays only, and we run a vanilla offense.

I look forward to Canales getting our O-Line straight with the players we already have and draft a couple of weapons for Young.  He sorely needs them.

Vanilla is being generous. Some of the stuff we ran was straight out of a  generic high school playbook.

I was only referring to HC calling the plays and OC doing whatever it is he's going to do. 

I mean, if your HC is a good playcaller....we have seen that work out very well for folks.   Both HCs in the Super Bowl are calling the O.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By strato · Posted

      3 years to figure it out and the answer has been the same every time.  Think they will try a different solution? Bryce and Andy lol. I hope so but it is hard to have any faith in them to do that.  The Cam stuff, I don’t think anyone is talking about that thinking he is a solution for 2026. Just wishing we had some of his ability at the position now.

      The time adjustment plus this weather might be the only leg up we get. Just run it 40 times between Rico and Chuba lol.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By strato · Posted

      My amateur opinion … It’s that footwork and his overall mechanics that stop him. Short sucks too but his accuracy and timing and velocity, all compromised by his technique.  Not enough natural arm strength there to overcome it. I am not sure what another year would do if he isn’t fixing that stuff. Or two years.  If he could have things straight and squared away he could maybe get enough out of his abilities to play consistently week to week.  He will still be limited by things like field vision and what someone pointed out this week that I had never noticed or considered - trajectory on really short near field throws like goal to go situations. They said the arc he needs to clear the d line guys is such a high angle that it is hard to get the ball back down soon enough. Which boy, that is a can of touch pass worms there if you think about it. Like shooting a basket where defenders can goal tend. You have to throw it so soft that defenders can close on it. Receivers would have to use their bodies to shield.   Then you are left with rolling out to see the field and get a lane, which shuts down half the the field and is easier to defend. It’s really tough. You go looking for negatives, or impediments, they are there to find.
