I Blame the Defense More Than Jake

How do you leave Fitzgerald open all day? If the defense could have stopped the Cardinals from scoring, Jake wouldn't have had to throw the ball on every down. And once again this defense played lathargic, which is an indictment of the coaching.

I think Mike Trgovac need to be gone. The defensive game plan was inexcusable.

Panthers also need to draft a QB in the upcoming draft.

Question

Trog & Fox worked together during by week to come up with the defense !

Fox as a HC should have realized either in prep for game or early on that the defense was not getting to Warner

Sure Fox changed it at half time ,but why wait so long ?

Why not in your bye week plan on doubling FITZ

Why not plan on knocking Warner out with the Blitz, and rotating Peppers all over

If this is what a bye week does for Fox

PLEASE don't ever have a bye week again

Richard Marshall has been absolutely lost all season, and that hit its peak last night. Hey, Richard, when you are the only one attempting to switch on the crossing routes, you're doing something wrong.

Also, the 7-10 yard cushion may work on teams that throw the ball down the field, but it does not work against a quick passing team, such as New Orleans and Arizona. The key to disrupting timing routes is to throw off the timing. You can't do that when you are giving such a large cushion.

We knew our secondary sucked.

We knew Jake has good games and bad games.

We should've seen this coming. Sigh....

Some of us saw SOMETHING coming... but nothing like THIS.

I don't think it's the defensive players, I just think they are calling the wrong plays out there.

Our Defense is just too average. I hope next season we can mix this season's offense with the 2002 defense. This year's defense couldn't force Turnovers or get off of the field on 3rd down. The bend don't break scheme only works if you force TOs and FGs. This defense was giving up yards and TDs. If were going to keep Jake then we need to have a dominant defense.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
