The read option

If a head coach and OC use an offensive set that seems to be getting bad results, what conclusion do you draw from its continued use?

1. Coaching staff are morons

2. We just want to learn new offensive schemes

3. We are incapable of competently running other schemes

Most hear choose #1 and think Chud and Riveras only reasons for running the read option is that they are mentally impaired.

What say you?

Number one yes

Number two possibly

Number three. I dont think cam is working hard enough on under center footwork. Plus a boot leg would seem to be extremely effective with him. Problem is he CANNOT throw that well on the run, so play action boots wont work. I think the main issue is our backs and oline dont compliment this system they tried to put in to cater to Cam. They need to stop babying him and get in his ass. Its not like they treat cam special in that regard though its the whole team. Ive never seen rivera chew him out on the sidelines for boneheaded plays. rivera makes no one accountable for their play during games. Dumb penalties stupid decisions need to be critized right then and there.

Would coaches continually run a scheme which puts their own jobs on the line? Why?

Stubborn, hoping for a break through that makes them look like a genius. No one wants to admit when they are wrong, so it took a job being lost to force their hand. Had Hurney not been fired, you would see the read option for the rest of the year.

I do not buy the stubborn argument.

When the NFL stands for Not For Long as far as coaching, you are telling me that Rivera and Chud can run many schemes, but stick with the read option (and losing) just because they are stubborn and have many other and perceivably better schemes they could run and win with?

Pretty fatalistic choice for a coaching staff, don't you think?

So you give us three crappy options then argue against them?

I say #4. It did work. They thought they could improve it. When you have a singular talent at QB like Cam. It is only human to try and think of unique ways to use him.

You may be right, but I can't remember seeing him do it enough to make a decision either way. He had some nice ones last year, including a 40+ yarder to Smith, but then we all remember the one to Hartsock recently.

I'd like to see more attempts before we just decide he can't do it.

Could not be #3, looking at last season.

Could be #2, some reason they feel what worked for Cam in college would work in the NFL. If given the time, this would have been squashed last season.

Most likely #1

BREAKING NEWS ALERT.....deception based offenses will not succeed in the NFL....

I guess Ron and Co didn't get the memo

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Completion percentage depends on the offense and type of QB.  So no I don't care about a raw comparison lol. If you don't know what I mean by that I don't know what to tell you. As to Baker, this is the second time you've ignored me and claimed I didn't say something when I did. I'm going to just stop r spending to that crap soon but on the possibility you are just missing these things in good faith - "Baker Mayfield is 11th in QBR, 14th in yards despite the TON of injuries that offense has had, 10th in QB rushing yards, 12th in TDs (and above the average in TD% lol), 25th in INTs (league average would be something like 16th). So yes, he's quite a bit ahead of the average in many categories." Rushing yards by a QB DO matter. You'd think Panthers fans would know that.  Some of Bryce's best plays have come when he uses his legs too, and some of that IS yards on the ground. And the reality is that Tampa has had crazy injury issues and if you look at Bakers career he is unquestionably more successful than Bryce and above average at that. This year his top 3 WRs have all missed considerable time and whose best player on offense hasn't played almost all year...

      Look at the chart. if you are claiming his numbers prove he not  an NFL caliber QB, than neither is Bo Nix, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix, CJ Stroud, Baker Mayfield and Mahommes. They are all below average and within 2 points of Youngs' numbers.

      Could be worse. Captain Clempsun is sub 60% completion
