Coaching or Personnel to Blame for Special Teams Problems?

This team is just like every other one we've seen over the last several years. Strong run defense, decent pass defense, good but predictable run game, laughable pass game and inept special teams. You can rotate players all you want. Foxball is Foxball. As long as he's here, that's what we get. 8-8, here we come...

If the special teams can get it together, that's another 3-4 games we won't lose...

I don't get why we aren't looking at AE more on KR than PR. PR seem much harder for a guy to just 'pick up' in the NFL. And what they did with him tonight may have taught him a lesson, but that was about as embarrassing as it gets for both him and our FO. I still believe he's gonna be fine, but that was hard to watch.

Good to see he came back at the end and made a couple nice catches.

Gamble looks like Deion Sanders compared to Edwards.

Sure, but Captain was statistically the same, if not better, than Gamble at returning punts. Captain is also not our shutdown, high-paid corner and I don't think Captain would try to throw the ball to an imaginary receiver on a punt return.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
