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.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
