it's called knowing the playbook and reading the defense.

Considering only around 60-70 people in the league have the Panthers playbook...that wouldn't common knowledge. Also if you don't play football or drool over it, I wouldn't expect it to be common knowledge.

I'm sorry, while I understand what you are trying to say...I don't think it is common knowledge on how to read a defense or we'd all be playing or coaching in the NFL. :lurk5:

ummm...i know it might sound technical to some people, but that stuff if pretty common knowledge.

it's called knowing the playbook and reading the defense.

I knew there was going to be at least one snarky response to this...

Learning how to make reads like this is not in any playbook and it's not "common knowledge". Have you ever actually seen a playbook?

knowing the playbook, as in any rb (or any position for that matter) knowing his own team's playbook.

there might be a handful of different defenses...they just have different looks and teeks to them.

that's why team's study film. to figure out those looks and quirks so they can recognize them come gametime.

as far as being able to execute during gametime, that's where the talent and skill come in. if you don't have those, it doesn't matter what you know.

Anyone else notice that when he was talking about the WR's getting out and blocking for them he mentioned Smith and LaFell? Nothing about Jarrett.

Yup, very interesting... but he was talking about it in the context of LaFell being a receiving threat, not LaFell as a blocker.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
