Points allowed ranking over the past 4 years: 2nd, 4th, 11th, 12th

Over the past two seasons, they've basically slid to an upper middle of the pack defense while their offense has trended more and more toward the "save me Superman QB" stuff we did with Cam. Their overall roster has absolutely been trending downward.

Still not terrible. Ebbs and flows, man. They're offense has always been perceived that way. It's nothing new. Their two biggest, problems, in my mind, has been a lack of a WR1/2 most years and Pat Mahomes. They absolutely can address the first, but will just have to deal with the second. Ironically, I think that KC has that same issue. 

Buffalo may not have to deal with Mahomes next season either (at least not at his best), so it will be important for the new coach to hit the ground running. Newly promoted Brandon Beane has his work cut out for him.

Too many job openings this year for McD to not get another HC job

the only way he comes here is if they fire Canales.  Now that McD might be an option, one never know how one might view one situation over an other one once you realize that you can only have one head coach once.

I know that you didn't necessarily mean it like that, but wouldn't it be something if they hired The Hoodie? 

 

Oh that's how I meant it lol. Rex Ryan has already floated it on air on ESPN. And Bellichick's son or whatever could "get" the Tar Heels job.

Gentrified Cam Newton keeps failing his team and getting no heat for it. Excuses every step of the way and now got the best HC that franchise will see in decades fired 

You can argue he's choked, but dude had no WRs. If he had 1-2 elite WRs on that team ... give him a ring. Dude can only do so much by himself.

I would hardly call two years a trend, especially knowing they dynamics of football, but if that's what you want to go with, then fine. 

I will caution you that there are other metrics that can be better indicators, or at least provide more context to a "trend" than points allowed.

It’s very obviously the amount of injuries they’ve had on defense over the last 4-5 years. In a perfect world Buffalo hires evero and we sign McDermott but I bet he takes a year away honestly

He had prime Diggs and still choked and cried all offseason until they changed the OT rules

They've certainly had some key injuries, which are ingrained within the real and/or perceived success or failure of the team.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
