Find Out Who We Are....

The coaches are saying this, the players are saying this.  I think this is an issue.  A GM has a vision on what he wants the team to be.  A coach has his vision on what he wants the team to be.  How do we not know who we are?  It's suppose to be being installed by the staff.  You think Andy Reid or Harbough would field a team and not know what kind of team they want and who they are?

We couldn't find out who we are on offense because we were playing with a QB who couldn't throw the ball effectively beyond the LOS. 

I'm just saying if were a run first team or a pass first team, you are installing schemes to do this, were not or should not be figuring this out on the fly.

We were a team playing without a QB. We might as well have been wearing leather helmets since the forward pass wasn't part of our capabilities.

In fairness, I think theres an identity that they want, but they had a mentally broken kid that could not execute.  There is zero dawg in Bryce.  I remember hearing about cam newton fighting with a teammate in YEAR 1 about them losing a game and in the locker room another player told him "hey, its ok, you cant win them all".  THAT is dawg.  Dalton might not go to that extreme, but he will command respect and demand execution in which I have zero belief that Young commanded.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
