Chud's Offense


Ruff

Recommended Posts

Watching the Patriots play, there seems to be a very similar look to the Panthers new offense, in comparison to the Patriots offense.

There's a lot of shotgun formation, inside hand-offs to the Running Backs, 12-15 sideline routes to the Wide Receivers, and vertical passes to the Tight Ends, especially near the sidelines and in the flats.

I think the Pats offense is what our offense is going to look like when it's all said and done, especially once the screen pass starts working effectively for Cam and the Running Backs.

tl;dr - Our offense will be the most exciting thing in Carolina for as long as Cam's there. CAN'T WAIT.

If Cam proves to be an Above average (not even elite) qb we will be THE most offensively balanced team in the league

Err....I don't know about all that now. Double Trouble have talent, but there are other teams with good or better running games right now. Even though our guys have done amazing in the past, and still have the potential to do it again, the fact is our running game has suffered pretty bad over the recent year, and until we can get it going again and up to that level, I wouldn't make such a statement.

they've been running from the shotgun for years. most of the elite QBs have been doing it a lot recently and last year there were quite a few of th best that were doing it on over 50% of passing downs. peyton did it in 76% of his. we're going to be seeing a lot more of it this year and going forward. it just makes sense that we will see newton using it. it's the best place for a QB to run a passing play. his taking snaps from the shotgun isn't because he's bad at taking them from under center. teams have just found that QBs do better taking it from there.

also, teams have been using the spread for years.

the year the pats set all those records? spread offense.

the year the cards went to the superbowl? spread offense.

new orleans saints high powered offense? a spread

mike vick looking like a real QB last year and eagles having one of the best offensive years they've had in a while? eagles abandoned the WCO and ran a spread.

packers beating the steelers in the superbowl last year? spread offense.

    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
    • Ulcerative Colitis is not CTE. 
    • Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
