With Chud at the helm, I am not going to even try and guess what he will come up with as regards to utilizing Smitty. Which just gets me that more excited. As long as Chud is around, we are going to be one exciting team to watch.

I have a feeling Chud won't be around much longer, if he has as much success as he did last year. A team is gonna offer him a HC job.

Chud will be gone less than 8 months from now. Mark it and hope that the Panthers organization can decipher what he has in that playbook.

So Chud will be gone before the season even ends? Wow, that is bold.

It is not the deciphering of the playbook. It is the ability to call one play that leads to the next. Which in turns leads to a play down the line. It is having the balls to call a play no one else even thought of. It is the imagination to use your talent to there fullest. It is the flexibilty to think outside the box, and have it translate to the field.

It is not the playbook we loose with Chud. It is his innate abiltiy to put imagination into reality. That is what we loose when Chud leaves. He has a first class mind, which on its own is impressive. But, the ability to transfer thought into reality is a rare gift. We best enjoy it while it lasts.

The anti Monkey hit. We ain't your steppin stone. Let it ring loud. Let ring from the mountains to the ocean. Leave our Chud alone.

Anyone who seriously believes Chud will get tagged for a HC job is seriously unaware of how the head coach process is done. There's only 32 jobs to go around, with several of them available each year, and only one or two would consider someone without head coaching experience at any level of football.

Also, as much as I'm glad Chud is here, he's not really head coach material, because his media savvy is almost non-existent, and a head coach has to be a full-time face of the franchise. Everything I've heard about his interviews said that teams liked him, but really only as an OC.

Nah, I think Smitty will still line up wide. He can stretch the field better than Gettis and can dominate the sideline and plant his toes better than Lafell. I think David will start off in the slot and might be able to overtake Brandon for the #2 spot if he balls.

I can't remember where I read it, but last year at training camp I remember some talk that Gettis showed up faster than Smitty. I know playing on the outside requires more than straight line speed, but I think with his height, Gettis might be able to relieve Smith on the outside in certain situations. All this assuming Gettis is fully recovered, and studied up on the playbook.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
