Matt Waldman on Panthers offense

I noticed the miscommunication when the play happened.  What we don't know is how late in the play clock we were--for some Reason, Bryce likes to take it down.  I think we should get to the LOS and set with over 5 seconds, giving you time to check out of this or that.  When you are struggling to beat the clock--the defense knows it.  But Bryce could clearly see the advantage out wide and the disadvantage at the LOS.  Why did professionals not execute this play for a big gain?

I hear you but that is because Russ is a selfish cornball not the scheme. The one thing Bryce has going is his teammates like everyone else have bought in on him being a Good Guy.

Bryce being a 'good guy' and therefore deserves support is like saying you should go see that quack doctor because he's got a nice personality. Professional competence should always be the first, second, and third consideration. Everything else is bullsh!t. Don't believe me? Deshaun Watson still has a job.

We're looking at a career backup QB and we traded the farm for him. Fitt truly was one of the all time worst GM's in NFL history.

Bryce ain't even fit to be on the practice squad. He might make it as a 3rd stringer in the Arena Football League someday if he really, really works hard at it.

They just spent 150 million on OGs to run behind, you can even throw behind them or should be able to. Their D needs the O to run a lot this year apparently. They could run behind that line with mediocre QB play.

Worse would the team breaking around him. Watch this about Wilson and tell me there is no danger in allowing things to get out of hand with the QB. Link. That was with a QB that could get into the playoffs. 

I don't think you are taking into account internal pressure last year. Tepper and the game of thrones they had going on. I don't think Reich wanted to play school ball and just checked out when he wasn't allowed to do what he wanted over and over along with all the other things going on personally. 

At this point why not just play Young another game or two to see if anything changes or can be tweaked and then sit him if not? If an over the hill guy like Dalton can make that offense look good then Young should be done. What they spent on him is moot, sunk cost and doesn't change anything at this point. The deep ball is a joke and he can't hit open guys. The run game can't get going because it was blitz city and any opponent we see should be doing that. He looks good playing his school ball when the D is in prevent/garbage time/gas off the throttle. It literally takes a team like GB last year who couldn't get pressure against that line to make it look like it will work. The real question is when will everyone acknowledge these things and just make the obvious move?

 

2 whole pies. And a beer. We are probably right in thinking that replacing him and letting Dalton operate would herald the end of Bryce. 

Let's do it. 

Johnstonny, I am not Jesus by a stretch. But I honestly had no animosity towards Bryce in 2023 when people were throwing around the Hater tag if you did not believe. It was the people on his side here and their abuse that was pissing me off a lot. 

But now it really is turning into I just do not like seeing him at all and want him out of my sight, like forever, if he does not do a 180 by October.

And right now today, I feel like, if I never saw him again, good. Knowing (should have said: I know) that is emotional and rationally I should give him an 18th chance, but I just don't want to any more.

Ive watched the NFL for 40+ years and I can tell you with 100% certainty that bryce being a good guy isnt going to mean poo to his teammates if they dont start winning and winning stat.  2 years of being completely embarrassed is like an albatross to alpha dogs in the nfl.   What in the hell do you think Diontae johnson is going to do to him if Young keeps laughing after throwing picks?

Anyone disparaging Canales after that inside job by Bryce isn’t paying attention. The schemes were good. Receivers were running open. Bryce just can’t execute. 

His O is fine. Nothing ground breaking but it works with a QB that can step up and throw the ball. Geno, baker, it's not a mystery. They also put most of their offseason recourses into building it up.

Him as a HC and the state of the team is his biggest issue. That is an entirely different conversation.

Exactly.  Diontae is gonna have to take a cheap deal elsewhere if this year bombs for him.  He's in a contract year.  You gotta know that he's trying to have a big season statistically.

It's happening and Tepper may force it way longer. I tuned out last year because I couldn't watch it and it had to take it's course. This year the excuses are done and something will give eventually. DC isn't an old HC already making retainment plans. I would be thrilled to see him say fug it and bench Young, but again too soon for that.

I am sure it is like this in other fields, but what I did for my living was normally done with 3 to 7 or 8 person teams. 

I had friends in the business that I would not work with because I had higher standards and ability, and knew that I would eventually personalize it and lose them as friends because of my frustration. Because it happened a couple of times.

So yeah there is no doubt, in a team environment, the respect thing is built around what you do to help make things smooth for everybody. Which is performance based primarily; social relationships are secondary.

Yeah that is the rational conclusion. Like it or not.

    • Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold are not clutch QBs. They will need defense and great game management to win consistently during the season. They are done in the playoffs when the defense and coaching can't carry the game. Don't waste time or money on them. They'll be the end of great coaching and defense in the playoffs following a strong running game during the season. Geno Smith is clutch and can contend for a championship game in the playoffs.
    • Amazes me anyone would say he's not clutch. 30.4% GWD conversion is lower level clutch like Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is 26.4%. Baker Mayfield is 17.5% and Sam Darnold is 12.5%. Bryce Young is 11.1%. People need to realize QB must be 60% clutch and 40% game manager in an NFL game. A couple of my QB targets are Cooper Rush at 75.0% and Desmond Ridder at 35.7%. Desmond Ridder had crazy clutch ratios like Tom Brady in their college careers. Ridder needs a coach like Canales. SB dynasty QBs are around 40% & clutch playoff QBs who make it to championship games are around 30% as a gauge. When you run this across the 64 championship QBs over the past 35 seasons you'll see the same result with a 3% to 5% swing from the start to finish of their career. This goes for the undervalued championship QBs like Case Keenum and Erik Kramer too. QBs come prepared from college knowing how to be a clutch performer. It's only the game management and system they need to be coached up on in the NFL.
    • Yeah after all that, even if he works out as a decent QB he doesn't look as special as what they passed up on their own end. He might not even outplay Fields this year or next. Or Malik Willis for that matter lol although the Packers always seem to have an issue of two good starting qb's
