shanahans offense is always pretty amazing and mac jones was running it well tonight.  panthers should have signed him last offseason.

Lol Bryce would look even better in that offense. Mac would be trash in Canales offense.

I dont see that happening, the throws with the velocity and touch that mac jones had last night and his ability to see over the line is something young has yet to show.  even though mac jones was booted from the patriots he still showed more promise and better stats than young has ever done.  Mac Jones does have a week arm by nfl standards but young is just another level of not physically gifted.  But it could also be that every coach and player young has played with in the nfl are all terrible and they are all holding his greatness back

Mac didn’t attempt a single pass past 25 yards, and only one pass 20. You guys would just turn on him here immediately if we signed him 

If Bryce was efficient it wouldn't matter. The issue with Bryce is that he both can't push the ball down the field and he can't be efficient. That leaves your offense stalled out because the defense is choking you to death.

Makes that 4th down call even more questionable lol. They must internally know this data

 

I get the call to go for it. The bitch of coaching is that when you make these calls you're brilliant if it works out and you're a jackass if it doesn't and everyone's going to second guess it. It's is what it is.

I get that he's expecting his OL to be able to create a yard there but at the same time it's also basically your weakness against their strength. The part I disagree most with honestly was the decision to go out there and bark to try to create the false start then calling a timeout and putting your offense back on the field. Now you've shown your hand. Now they know you're going. You can't call back to back dead all timeouts and you're not backing your FG kicker up so you're going. I agree with trying to create the false start but I don't think you call a timeout and then out your offense back out there. If that's your plan you gotta kick. When Stafford started walking off with still several seconds left in the play clock I honestly thought they were gonna do something sneaky like a direct snap to the RB or the RB running up under center and basically doing a tush push style play. I don't like calling the timeout and putting your offense back there with the D now knowing you're gonna go.

Yeah, I think part of the reason that Bryce has an issue with missing high is that anytime he has traffic in front of him he's having to loft the ball up and over that traffic

That could be. No one paid attention but I posted a video last year of two NFL QBs I forget which two, but they ran a test with velocity reader thing.
What it was was first throw at a target with your normal comfortable motion. 20 yards maybe which gets you what, 12-15 yards downfield? Anyhow they were hitting the net or whatever they were throwing to. 
Next you throw your ‘fastball’ (high effort).

They were missing high a lot. Predominantly high, but the accuracy suffered. 
So if you are a guy that has to try harder to get the same velocity, that you might need, that is something that you are likely going to see, less accuracy and missing high.

Yeah that's why I don't put any stock into the Combine max velocity figures. All that matters is how well you generate velocity in game situations. I don't care how hard you can throw when you have all day and wind up like a baseball pitcher. It's just not relevant to an actual football game. Kirk Cousins threw the ball 10mph faster at the Combine than Lamar Jackson. Cousins (and Goff too for that matter) was right up there with Allen and Mahomes in terms of max velocity. Does that show up on an NFL field?

    • I dont think you can fire him either but I do wonder what tepper would do if we dont crack 5 wins.   On the flip side we cannot let Dave pick a qb in the draft if his seat is hot.  Its a conundrum for sure.  One of Teppers makings.
    • Hate to say it but we can't fire DC right now. He was basically forced to work with BY as part of his conditions for being hired and hasn't really had the opportunity to get a QB of his own. That's not a good look when you're interviewing new candidates. A coach has to be given the chance to do his job with players that fit what he does and DC hasn't been given that chance. Fire him and you're putting another box on the list to keep coaches from coming here. Plus, Morgan needs to be given another year as well so he can either show he's can have a successful draft or he's a bust as well so the whole damn show can be flipped and started over with a president of football operations and build from there. No more hold overs. Empty the damn building and start with a brand new staff. 
    • It's both column A and column B. Bryce ain't going to make it as an NFL starting QB. At least not here and probably not ever, the physical limitations just can't seem to be overcome consistently. And that's a shame because, well, he's a good kid and I wish it had worked out for him and us. But also, this ain't working out here as a team. We're poorly built from bottom to top. There's no consistency in coaching, there's no team identity, there's no grit, no depth and seemingly little plan or resistance to market influences that get us to buy high and sell low. We have a few guys we call star players that would, well, be starters on other teams, and a crap ton of starters that would be back-ups, bench sitters or free agents outside of this organization. No QB is going to come here and have much success. Much like Rodgers with the Jets, we just don't have fug all for a team. The QB, no matter the pedigree, can't pull us out of the mudhole we have created for ourselves as we've wallowed over the last seven years. No matter how high we draft a QB here, we'd just be planting a seed on rocky soil. It wouldn't survive. Look at Mac Jones and how he has played over three games in San Fran. He was supposed to be a total career washout, another 'Bama Bust. Guy looks like he can handle the game, because he has a well coached, professional team around him. One that has a lot of injured stars, but still fights to win. And you can look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, two guys who washed up on our deserted desert island and floundered mightily here. But man, put them on solid teams and they both are living up  to their original draft status. To be perfectly honest, this poo won't change until we, as an organization, change down deep. There has to be a total sea change here. We can't make the owners go away, but we can pressure for them to blow this thing completely up and hire in a handful of consultants, perhaps retired GMs and HCs with winning programs in the N-fuging-FL. Then remake it all. Management, coaching, team, trainers, scouts, even equipment folks. Sorry, I'm tired of this pile of horseshit we call a team. It has just eaten alive the careers of many young athletes and all of us fans since the change in ownership.
