Terrible clock management by Fox shines again...

His complete ineptitude of managing the clock astouds me. Burning 2 timeouts on the first drive of the game and then giving the Saints a chance to score before halftime instead of running to burn their timeouts. It's amazing to me how an NFL coach can be this stupid.

Fox didn't burn the timeouts.......personally I don't believe Davidson was getting the plays in fast enough.......thus putting JC in a hole.

Clausen called the 1st time out because the call wasn't coming in over his helmet speaker. They later fixed the audio.

Smitty called the 2nd because the play clock was running out.

This was all talked about by the announcers. Are any of you paying attention to the game???

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COACHES.

Every call goes through Fox and its his responsibility to get the call out with plenty of time left.

And once again at the end of the game, poor calling with little time on the clock. Why call a cutback with Williams with the game on the line and no timeouts? We only needed 2 yards to get into field goal range. Why not just call run plays up the middle instead of taking forever to get a pass call out and then wasting more time when the QB has to point out the defensive blitzers?

Im not positive, but I believe the cutback was Williams's call.

The challenge was close and it was a big part in the game. I can't see why it would be inexcusable.

It also gave the defense more time to get their breath because they'd be right back on the field.

Where the hell do you get your information from??? This is so unbelievably wrong, I'm at a loss for words. :smash:

I'm a long time panther fan, but never post on here. Joined back in the winter but have stayed silent. I know that D'Wills run put us out of "range" for the feild goal, but why not go ahead and try than put the game on the line with a rookie qb and an unintelligent WR known as Dwayne Jarrett?

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
