Dave’s Double-Speak Says It All


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

“We’ll call more plays when we see more success” regarding explosive passing plays.

He’s basically saying we won’t call them because we can’t execute them.  It’s one of the most creatively nebulous-sounding indictments I’ve ever heard, but an indictment nonetheless.  Almost like it’s daring Bryce, and he still won’t do it.

 

I mentioned in another thread how one play yesterday, Bryce rolled out and held the ball forever.  If I were venture to say, I’m guessing that play lasted upwards of 5 seconds, EASY.  He just kept holding it and kept looking.  And then he’d look like he was gonna throw it, then pull it back down, look again, pull it back down, look again, then finally grounded it in front of the nearest WR.  These were the type of plays Bryce thrived on in college.  Now, most of them he doesn’t even attempt because those fuging lofty ass cans of corn ain’t cutting it and he knows they’re likely to get picked.  Point being, we’re leaving so many plays out on the field and it begins and ends with Bryce’s inability and unwillingness to pull the trigger.  In that same thread, someone brought up Jake and how many present fans never saw him play.  But think back to other great Panthers QBs as well, Cam being the greatest and a singular generational talent that will never be replicated, but even Steve Beurelein (sp?), he’ll, even Matt Moore in his short tenure.  What did these guys do that Bryce just won’t - give his guys a fuging chance to make plays.  And the most obvious samples are the lack of high-pointers and back shoulder fades, but even in simple poo like all the crossing routes that people are ragging on Tet and XL for.  The passes are so poorly placed, he’s not giving them a chance to just catch it and run.  They have to fuging stop, contort their body, etc.

in another thread, we were discussing Mike White and Hendon Hooker.  You can name off any number of other guys currently available as well as a slew of ones we could’ve had in the offseason, and every single one of them would do what Bryce refuses to - give their guys a fuging chance to make plays.  That’s what is so fuging frustrating about him beyond the obvious.

Yeah, the window to get it to them is compressed to 20 yards vertically.  Even if they beat their man 25 yards downfield and Bryce actually sees it, he’s not gonna throw it.

He had Coker open coming across the field several times and he didn't hit him.

he's not looking to Coker. Remember, bryce is one of the worst in the NFL after his first read. Coker is going to be wasted in this offense right now. 

Which sucks because I think he's basically baby Anquan Boldin and they just need to send him on posts/seams every play and let him bully defenders.

I do not believe this is true at all.   

Bryce scrambling means no proper base.  Means his weak arm is at it's weakest.  Which means downfield throws are even more risky for him.  

as the OP says, you can see the deep calls.  Bryce normally has time.  Holds.  Scrambles or checks down.  The balls Bryce Young will throw downfield are generally when the call has something on the sideline.  And Bryce makes these throws super hard on WRs.  They generally are turned into jump balls 90% of the time when that's not what the throw asks for.   I think the only deep ball he is comfortable attempting is when he can borderline push the ball out of bounds if the WR doesn't' get it.

    • Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season 
    • I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win. 
    • I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
