I am pretty pissed they did not utilize Pike a little more than they did considering the QB situation...the time I did see him play.. he was definitely a rookie at play..but he stood tall and tried to make some pases.. I think he completed a few.. so he did have a few good plays considering the chaos of the offensive line collapsing on him if I remember correctly..but I think Fox stuck with Clausen just to spite management .. see this is who you drafted!! So suck it... I think he he didnt get a fair chance like he should have..but I am overseas so I was pretty limited on what I saw of the Panther games this year.. Hopefully they keep him and let them duke it out at training camp..ALSO MAYBE we wont have an offensive coordinator who is so damn predictable!!!

I don't think we can evaluate any of our young offensive players based on last season. We had a broken system with coaches that didn't want them there and didn't seem to care if they learned anything. I give Pike and all our young players a pass for this past season. I think they all start with a clean slate and the new coaches will do their best to maximize their talents. I'm looking forward to see how our offense looks with coaches that actually care about scoring TD's

I disagree. If that were the case, the players would have quit giving their all and gave up. That didn't happen.

but what if you bought into something that was broke but just couldn't see out of the box cause thats your paycheck!!?? The Panthers went stagnate.. When I can call what they are going to do aT HOME and get it right 50% of the time imagine what the Pro Def Coordinator's precentage is 98% is my guess unless I am in the wrong business..so this gives the young QBs no chance.. Ithnk Pike deserves another chance.. I think he out does Clausen in camp!!!

I see your message Rayzor.. I was limited what I saw this year..weak arm is not good..but a slow ass quaterback is no good either.. from what I gathered Clausen takes too long and I agree from the limited games I saw since i am over seas this year but damn it I will be aT A PANTHERS GAMES NEXT YEAR!! For good or Worse I will be there I love these guys!! Lets just hope we get a great Offensive Coord.. Hail Mary... blah balh.. hehe

Its impossible to tell what we have at Qb right now. I liked Fox and our staff, but I have very little confidence in any of them's ability to judge passing game related talent.

Fwiw, I don't think that arm strength in and of itself is all that important. If the strongest arms can throw it 60 yards, and Pike can only manage 50, thats ok. Accuracy, quickness of delivery, and good decision making are far more important. If you can get the ball out quickly, put it on target, and throw it to the right receiver, you can win a lot of games in the NFL.

Pike has size but his arm strength is in question. He can't float ball to the sidelines in the NFL. He's on the skinny side, so some weight room work would help him. But he ended up on IR, because of throwing the ball in practice, not a glowing omen for the future.

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.

      Reminder: A team lead by Matt Rhule/Steve Wilks got us this result…..

      well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn.

      JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
