Pulled the goalie wayy too early in this game against the Blue Jackets when points are crucial and we get scored on. Terrible decision. Tired of the way this team is playing right now. Its time to get rid of Maurice and yes Francis. The power play is f**king pathetic.

This is what happens when your team is young. Inconsistency. We could very well hit another hot streak before the season is over. We are only 2 points back right now. We need San Jose to win tonight to keep us close.

Everyone needs to just relax and let the season unfold. We aren't out of it yet. We still have time.

I agree. It is stupid to get so fired up. The power play is pathetic, but I don't know if it has as much to do with the coaching as it does effort. We looked lazy all day, both even strength and on the PP. We couldn't get into the zone (outside of Staal's line) and I believe less than 50% of the problem is coaching and scheme. We look flat out lazy. Our first line is outstanding. Our second line is above average. After that, we dump, don't chase, therefore it is a turnover.

Bowman, Jussi, Staal, Stillman, and Skinner were the only guys on ice who seemed to play balls to the wall at all. So, that was good. The second goal Cam gave up was pure laziness. He didn't move at all. Just held his glove up and prayed. Move your body and at least get in front of it. You have defensive numbers.

Mo needs to go...I mean every time some lines start playing together well, he fugs them up and changes them. True, he is youngest coach to coach a 1000 games, but his record is right at 500.....means he is just an average coach. The Canes have a lot of talent and should be playing better than what they are. Power play is gawd awful.

Oh and not playing inspired should be a reflection of the coaching staff.

IDK what Mo is thinking with changing good lines, but the facts are this:

-PP sucks, we all know.

-PK is average at best.

-Effort is NOT 100%. We have a few that are all out every game (Staal, Sutter, Stillman, just to name a few). Need full effort from all 18.

-Ward/defense isn't consistent. Either Ward lets weak shots by or the defense in front of him has an untimely line change or they skate themselves out of position at least 3 times a game.

Now, a large portion of that is coaching. And I will agree, the changing of good lines gets old. Real old. But I have to think there is a method to his madness. Maybe trying everything out before the playoffs to see different guys together. No, this isn't the time to do that. It is too close to playoff time and we're not guaranteed a spot, but he knows as well as we all do we have the talent to do it. I think Mo is a good coach, he just doesn't do things in a timely fashion. Rutherford needs to sit down with him and Francis at the end of the season and lay down the law. Win the damn division! We're every bit as good as Washington, if not better. We could be leading the Eastern right now with our talent. Every time I watch NHL Overtime I have to hear about the damn Caps.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress.
