Pitt Game

So after re-watching the Pitt game, I noticed something that was this season basically in one play.

3rd and 4 in our own twenty. Clausen is in the shotgun, Smith lined up the left. Play goes, Pitt blitz but the pocket stays pretty firm. Harrison bull rushes Stewart and he knocks him down. Jimmy pisses his pants and tries to move and gets sack....by falling down. The meantime Smith was wide open in the middle of the field. Even the announcers said "got sacked by the ankles" then they showed the replay...and you just hear them go "oh...." after seeing he didn't even get touched.

It had to be one of the saddest sacks I've ever seen. Even harrison knew it because he got up smiling and laughing at Jimmy. Anyone else see this?

I swear Jimmy is going to be Carr 2.0 because of all the blitz and sacks he has had this year. Anyone got a comparison of the two their rookie year with sacks?

The o-line is terrible this year but that was just awful, and I've been one of the o-lines biggest critics this year.

Clausen's pocket presence and field vision are horrible and are not improving. He panics when the pocket is shrinking, even if it is not yet collapsing.

yeah i know, odd for the QB that most "NFL ready" huh? honestly he looked better in that regard earlier in the season (& preseason) than now. He just can't adjust the protection, or get the ball to the open receiver on a blitz, someone is open.

he needs a veteran to guide him on the sidelines, huge oversight by the FO.

Simply missing a vet QB to help him out. Pretty easy way to go and f**k up a QB, this is exactly what happened to Carr, I don't think he is comparing the players, but the situation. Would Clausen of been a better player had he really had time to settle in. He isn't a first overall you can just throw in there, he is a late second round QB. Meh, who really cares though we saved money.

Yeah, I agree. Carr has PTSD and was ruined by the Texans.

That being said, I notice how Clausen tends to look down to the ground when he is getting rushed or blitzed. A veteran knows that a blitz means somebody is open and will look to the field to find that person.

O-line sucking or not, a vet will find someone in those situations.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      It's a failing of most first time HCs. I get an OC not being a defensive expert but they do play the other side every week so it always amazes me that poop slides so often. First year? Sure but as time goes on they need to be a HC and have a balanced and good team in the end. They went offense for that reason and the QB issues the team had. They had to go WR again this year because they failed so hard last year at that position in the first. That's on both the HC and GM on that miss IMO. This year they went out and got a bunch of free agents and drafted more on the D. It just doesn't appear they did it well again. Add in keeping Evero and missing out on an expensive free agent, thankfully but it would have lessened the cap gap in spending, it's not like they didn't try. It's more of an issue of competency than cap. Building around Evero after last year is damning for thr GM and HC. That's the biggest issue. They just didn't do any of it well. Now they have some younger talent and I don't think there is a decent coach in that house.

      Inside linebacker is basically non existent. And that goes against everything that has been Carolina Panthers for a couple decades now. And that is just one such area that has suffered as we have paid through the nose to build up our offense around a bad investment.

      Thats why its going to suck spending another top 10 pick on a qb instead of an elite Lb, pass rusher or whatever.  but it what it is and you have to have a qb to win in this league
