It may not be a good thing for the fans of NFL football in the Carolinas but it sounds like Bryce Young is going to get his old Alabama offense back. 

The coach has been watching his cold blooded college tape (you die hards that don’t seem to know video of him playing in the NFL is available, jackpot).

 

I’d love to be able to make a positive post about our QB. It is just freaking hard to do it with a straight face. 

The rookie C struggling to make protection calls, gonna have to deal with it if you want a good C. And you want a good center.

But a veteran center, who the hell that has a choice really wants to work with a Bryce Young NFL offense? Think Boze may be getting some phone calls asking him about it? Wonder what he’d say.

Anyone we get in FA is going to be below average to bad. Teams don’t discard good OL.

I’d rather have a talented rookie who will improve vs a Jag on the decline.

I mean Bozeman is better than a rookie C in 2024.  So are plenty of others.  Might just have to rent a C for a season  

If Bryce wasn’t our QB I’d be all for it….

but Bryce had to too rough last year.  New O.  Too many others struggling on the OL.  Rookie C has too high of odds of making it all worse in 2024

Depends on the rookie.

Either way, center will be a weakness this year. The question is, will it also be a weakness next year.

more times often than not rookie centers such as Ryan Kalil for example  begin their NFL career a guard & then slowly  transition over to the center position ...just saying

Give me Zack Frazier. Guy is a 100 gritty guy.  His last play he threw his team mate last the sticks for a first down. Oh and broke his leg on the play. But instead of getting a time runoff due to injury, he end up crawling his way to the sideline.

And he's a damn good player on top of grit and team first play like that. He has a ton of snaps too at a high level too. I get the hype to powers and svp. But the guy I really like is Frazier.

Sedrick van pran Granger is probably the best suited OC in the draft for zone and he will likely be there for our second pick.

Get our WR with the first pick then get van pran and then come back and get Wiley or Jermaine Burton or whoever is the best pass catcher there.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
