The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back. 

We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay.

Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond. 

Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field. 

Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game.

Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening.

Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.

Chuba looked a lot faster last week. His burst might be back.

 

I was going to post a thread about this game is the first one in which Hubbard look "fresher' than Rico. 

 

I think Rico is also playing with about 7 issues on/in his body. Simply need 2 RB that can be lead dawgs in this NFL, that's part of the reason for the low market...

What has gone wrong with the Panthers in prior years to this one? Is it poor Defense mostly?

Poor ownership decisions dating to around 2019 

Then the trade for Bryce Young was very costly and he so underperformed (IMO) that they were compelled to pump even more assets into putting players around him. OL to RB to WR - FA money and high draft picks, you name it.

But offense was king and defense was an afterthought. For most of three years.  Until we picked Scourton in the second this year there was nothing over a single 3rd round pick spent on tne defense since Jaycee Horn was taken in the first round - and he is on his second contract. Defense has been a black hole. 
That is the Cliff Notes version, or at least it is my Cliff Notes version.

Just poor roster management.

The NFL out of all the professional leagues is set up for a team to rise from worse to first from one season to the next.

So to go 7 seasons without a winning record you have to make some really poor choices in coaching hiring, and roster management.

One thing about RB's and LB's is they are going to get hurt. It's inevitable. Having a fresh Chuba is not a bad thing. 

My only criticism of this entire situation is that I wish our staff would adjust personnel to matchup a little better. I think Chuba is a lot better than Rico against the stacked boxes we've seen the last two weeks. They are very different backs with very different strengths, and I love them both.

Rico is so good at identifying the hole early, and hitting it full speed early. He's much better at breaking the big run. Chuba is a much more patient back, and finds 3 yards when there's nothing there better than Rico.  It's in no way a criticism of either, but I think Chuba would have had more success than Rico the way the Saints and Falcons attacked us from a Defensive standpoint.  When you put 9 in the box, often times there is no hole to attack.

Agreed, Starting with Hurney and going to Fitterer just put us further down the list.  Very few starting caliber players.   Many don't like Morgan but overall, I think he's done a great job bringing quality FA and drafting well.  No GM is going to hit on every pick.  That said I also think DM learns from his mistakes.  

Most importantly keeping our owner out of the decision making is part of the reason we are starting to climb out of the hole.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
