Over Coached?

reading an article about the bobcats, it got me thinking if the same thing may be happening with carolina. The article referred to coaching instincts out of MKG. I cant help but to wonder if this coaching staff has filled Cams head with so much crap, its slowed down his reaction time. Cam was successful last season because they let Cam be Cam. This year it seems hes very unsure what he wants to do and is thinking too much instead of just reacting to whats in front of him.

Our problems are as follows:

- The offensive line has severely regressed, with Hangartner going from serviceable to mediocre, Amini being a rookie, and Kalil and Gross turning in subpar efforts. Byron Bell has been our most consistent lineman. . .

- This regression has killed the running game, hence Chud constantly going back to the option fishing hole to cover up for the lack of push up front.

- The dead running game has forced Cam to generate almost all the offense, and do so in coverages that aren't worried about stopping the run, and since he is dead set on avoiding interceptions he's not reading or reacting as fast as he needs to, nor following his progressions, and the constant pass rush has killed his footwork.

This season hinges on Kalil, he of the Super Bowl prognostication, getting his crew back in 2011 form, and pronto. They've wrecked the offense, with plenty of help from Chud being unable to adjust on the fly and Cam struggling to do everything himself.

Something is certainly going on in Cam's head. Being at the game I caught a lot of things I never saw on TV. We had at least one wide open receiver on nearly every play. Didn't seem to me that Cam was going through his reads very quickly. I agree that this college style offense may be causing him to regress.

And the O-line sucked.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

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

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
