Coaching Staff

Sick of hearing about how this is a new staff. We had a 24-7 lead on this team and we just had a complete meltdown. Their halftime preparation must consist of sniffing each other's butt cracks and telling Cam that his smells the best because it sure as hell isn't coming up with deficiencies in the gameplan. Most coaching staffs start to think about what the other team is going to do to COUNTER the momentum in the 2nd half. This coaching staff thinks that every other team is made up of a bunch of idiots and that nobody else makes halftime adjustments.

Chud - Run the damn ball. You have two STUD running backs. Commit to the run so we can hold on to a freaking lead and so that our 7th round draft pick defense doesn't have to play 3/4 of the game. They suck as it is don't make it worse.

McDermott - You're fired. The end.

Rivera - All of the above is also your fault.

Hurney - You're fired too for condemning us to having a secondary that includes Captain Munnerlyn and Darius Butler and a LB corp that we all knew wasn't going to stay healthy this year.

Right now I'm not a Rivera believer and I wouldn't be upset if he got canned at the end of this season. You can't compare this team to last year's team and say that its acceptable to have 2 wins because last year's team sucked too. Last year's team had a high school JV QB and a defense that was just as bad as this year's. This year's team is putting up 25ppg and losing because of stupid mental mistakes, a lack of toughness, and a COMPLETE lack of adaptation to the other team's scheme.

Why is everyone defending the coaching staff, and calling the people who critique them dumb.

The coaching has been inconsistent and bad. Why defend them?

My thoughts exactly. I don't get why criticizing a 2-8 staff is dumb when we consistently implode in the 2nd half. I get that our defense is depleted and I get that mistakes are going to be made. But when essentially every single game this season has countless mental mistakes and a lack of toughness that is the fault of the coaching staff. We just gave up 35 second half points after having a 17 point lead. Someone please tell me how the coaching staff deserves a pass on this? Marty Hurney sure as hell doesn't deserve a pass but its not all on Hurney and its not all on the lack of players we have on defense.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
