I heard the same thing on Sirius Radio. They were talking to a beat writer in Cleveland and she said the same thing.

Jake has NEVER played in a WCO.

also, I don't think his skill set is suited for a WCO. You need a QB that makes quick decisions and very accurate passes. Jake really does neither.

He has a tendancy to throw high and let Smitty go get it.

Delhomme learned the West Coast offense from Mike McCarthy when he was with the Saints.

Didn't the Saints run the WCO when Jake was backing up Aaron Brooks?

Jake was specifically considered a WCO until he came to Carolina. One could even make the argument that playing in Henning's O is what earned him the "gunslinger" designation.

He may thrive, he might not. It depends greatly on the WRs he'll have and if the running back can be a threat out of the backfield.

Is Brian Westbrook available?

I think we've got several backs that can catch the ball sufficiently, if we decide to use them in that way. But I think Rosario and Barnidge are going to be of more help to Moore than the running backs (as far as pass-catching options, that is).

    • Something is really wrong with the sport when you pay 50 and 60 million dollars for average players to play 17 games   I wish they would the price for everything and let the everyday people back into it, you can pay the players very well without it being crazy. It is crazy now.   
    • I’m an optimist by nature, and try to find a good time in anything, well, almost anything. For most of the Tepper era, this team has been completely unwatchable. It was beyond embarrassing. Not just bad, UN-F’IN-WATCHABLE. Complete utter darkness. The get right game for everyone. Only a few players would have even made the rosters on other teams.  PTSD is real, and we all have it, and yes, to a large degree what we are seeing now is fools gold… ish. Yes, Rico is carrying the offense and yes, without him we lose to Miami, Dallas and GB… but the talent turnaround in just 2 seasons has been incredible. Not just food (I seriously hope they show the team that segment before every game). This is the best o line depth this team has ever had. Our RB looks like AP. We have a blue chip WR who looks the part of a top 10 in the making. The TE room is now upgraded to… average. In one offseason the defense went from the worst ever in the history of the NFL to now stopping the run (sort of, mostly) and playing very solid pass coverage. Our DT ragdolls grown ass men and draws at least 2 holding calls a game. We have a bonafide shut down corner. both are signed long term. Our LBs aren’t as bad as we all thought they would be (yes, still need better). For this team to be where it currently stands with the utter gross negligence in management from 3 off seasons ago (decline the Burns offer, dump Darnold, trade the world for Bryce, jettison Moore, completely blow 2 crucial picks on XL and Brooks)…. admit it or not, to be where they are right now is a minor miracle. They by all rights SHOULD be getting SMOKED by EVERYONE.  If nothing else, this proves to me that people who actually understand the NFL are now calling the personnel shots (with Tepp’s blessing of course). This team now has a true franchise LT, finally (yes, I know it’s before Dan took the reins). Rico is setting franchise records. Game wrecker WR in the making, who is looking like the best round 1 pick this team has had since Cam (and Cam was the ultimate layup). 2025 is looking like the best draft since, when? Legit o line depth. Best special teams we’ve had in a very long time. Clutch kicker (for now). Major defensive turnaround in just 1 season.  There is identity. There are vet leaders. There is bonafide talent. There are some dawgs and the trajectory is very positive. I NEVER thought I’d ever see that again, much less in just a couple off seasons. 2003 doesn’t happen without the foundation that was being built in 2001 and 2002. I have no doubt that they will take another step forward next season, despite what the ptsd tries to tell me. Games are now entertaining, at least to me. I watch each game knowing there is a good chance they will lose the game because of Bryce, but that’s just what it is. If I watched with the sole intention of validating my pre-conceived bias, I would be affirmed,  but I would also miss what is otherwise a lot of good football coming from everyone else.  The future IS promising. Football people are obviously running the show. Dan and co know what NFL football players look like, they all know Bryce ain’t it, and never will be. I think they’ll ride it out this season with him, while taking their time in evaluating his replacement, and putting trade feelers out across the league. They probably already have been. The concern I once had about them signing BY long term has been partially quelled when thinking about where the team was and where it should be had recruitment not changed drastically. It may be giving undue credit, but for where this team now stands, they’ve earned it.
