This was on The Herd yesterday, and I meant to post it, but had other stuff going on... Anyway, for those of you not familiar with him, he's been with NFL Films for over 30 years and he's the guy that breaks down film with Jaws all day.

If you haven't heard it, it is REALLY worth the listen, and it's only about 2-3 minutes on us at the very beginning of the segment. Check it out and it confirms/explains a lot, especially for those, like myself, who know the problem isn't Cam.

Prediction: trying to return to a real offense mid season against a top D with our makeshift O-line is not going to get fantastic relults.

End result on Huddle?

"Bring back the option and make Chud head coach and GM!!!!"

its not like they dont practice these plays they are just not calling them.... the offense will be fine

I'm with you Jarhead, it truly defies logic that professional coaches have taken 7 weeks to realize this offense not only didn't work, but it was the sole reason outside of the Atlanta game that we lost. You are losing, you are 1-5, all because of your offense... And you refuse to change it.

Regardless of whether that is Chud or Rivera's final call, that's why I feel they should both be canned by the end of the season. THEY wasted our season and have brought undue criticism on our players for no obvious reason. It's just disgusting when casual fans can make these observations and you have a couple of idiots getting paid millions of dollars that can't.

Excellent segment... Cosell is basically saying what those of us that have ACTUALLY WATCHED Panthers games have been saying...

Cowherd on the other hand is just a parrot that's just throwing stuff on the wall and seeing what sticks. I bet he hasn't watched an entire Panthers game this season... or last.

Yeah biscuit, I mentioned in bumping the Cowherd thread yesterday that after talking with Steve Young, among others on his show yesterday who were pro-Cam, he said "Cam is like Big Ben. I've always said that, that's who he plays most like."

Really?

That's not what he was saying Monday. His approach is to say so many things, both positive and negative, that he can always go back and say, "See, I told you, look what I said here!"

He's a clown.

It was so obvious in the very first game of the season that our offense had regressed and Chuds offense was flawed.I have lost all confidence in Rivera/Chud and cannot imagine how the players feel.I guess the real question is how much additional damage has been done give our season is down the tubes? You know the players will never trust our current coaching staff again,

Yeah man, and I told people that Cam was basically calling Chud out in the presser Sunday... And then idiots get on here and media people on their soapboxes and say what a bad person he is... Some didn't think he was calling Chud out, but that's exactly what I thought it was, and he had every right to.

He said "I just run the plays that are called." "Same script, same director." But when asked for a solution, he offered a vague answer, which I believe was the smart way of saying "You figure out what I'm saying, it's not my place to offer the answer or I'll be in trouble with the organization."

He should be viewed as a hero for that presser. I actually wish someone would've said it plainly weeks ago, but it was obvious he was trying to do what was asked of him even though he knew it wasn't working... He had just had enough.

      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.
