Steve Reed's "State of the Panthers"


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

That offense call's for the QB take mid to long range strike's downfield. Phillip Rivers did'nt do a lot of check down's, but that's Rivers. Finding the right QB, or coaching one up to run it should be on the top of the list. We have the tool's at WR in place.

do what? they had the #1 offense in the league. run game was lacking last year beause of injuries and still did a whole lot better than green bay who managed to go to and win the superbowl with a really sucky run game.

the chargers havent had a good running game in like 3 years

the articles on catscratchreader are far more insightful, even with their vast speculation, than these. they go far more into detail and rely on more than the clichés pinched out of hurney's word sphincter. not knocking reed's writings, because it seems he has a hot exclusive here. just saying, if you want to feel more knowledgeable about what the next panthers team will look like, you'd do well to check those out.

zach miller (raiders version) and marcedes lewis are good prospects, though.

looks like Miller stays in Oakland

Though the San Francisco Chronicle has reported that Richard Seymour will be slapped with the franchise tag, NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora expects the Raiders to use the tag on TE Zach Miller.The Chronicle and LaCanfora are both citing sources. The Raiders may end up using both the franchise and the transition tag. If they do plan to franchise Miller, there's a good chance they will lock up Seymour to a long-term deal. Miller, the most valuable member of the Oakland passing game, just turned 25 years old after four years in the NFL. It would be far less expensive to franchise a tight end than a defensive end

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
