I am not afraid to say it


Smithers

This team is not improved from last year's squad. The offense is much improved, the defense is much worse. As a team, collectively, we are no better.

Sure, we lost all these games by a score or less. But lets put that in perspective. 2 of those close losses were to very good teams...however...2 of them were to average teams, and 1 was to a below average team.

Injuries happen...Green Bay dealt with it last season, so we need to stop using that as a valid excuse. Bottom line...we are a bottom tier team this season.

We lost 2 of the best LB's in the game and a run stopping defensive tackle. This team is drastically better than last years. We just can't catch a break as usual because we are the Panthers.

We were having problems before Beason and Davis went down. That is not an excuse.

Hell yes it is an excuse. You see how many time those RB's get around the edge now? poo would not be happening if you had TD and Beason blowing their heads off.

It doesn't help that FO is so damn stubborn with the DT spot and thinks we can just throw garbage at the position and expect something to happen.

That was happening with them in there. What have you been watching?

Did you not watch the Arizona game? How about the Packers? Beason and Davis did not make a huge difference in those games. That Arizona games was our 1 loss to a below average team...Go figure.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
