No this isnt a cry for 8-8.

I have been thinking a lot about our situation and how we can best improve and get ourselves in position to be successful in the offseason and next season.

With all the talk about putting Cam in more traditional QB sets, and giving the RB's the touches they need to get a rhythm, why not start now? I know Chud doesn't give two shits about our future anymore since he knows hes gone, but we have nothing to lose at this point in the season and now would be a good time to start mixing things up and trying different things with Cam. If we start lining up more under center and possibly having more I-tights and dual tight sets, we not only would be setting Cam up for growth as a QB, we also get our highly paid RB's the formation/plays they deserve. Also, the more and more we begin to shift towards this new offensive philosophy, the less prepared the opposite DC will be.

If it becomes successful, we can gain some momentum heading into the offseason, and chuds resume slightly improves so he might be able to save his NFL career [just not with the panthers]. With the new GM likely to put the coaching in place that will not run the read-option as much, i wish JR would make an executive order to start transforming the offense slowly towards the pro-style.

what are yalls thoughts?

Chud is bad, no doubt about it.

However, Cam under center is not the answer currently. This o-line is pathetic. Cam is getting pressured out of the gun almost immediately and that is without him even having to take a drop. Imagine him under center and having to complete a five step drop. The defensive ends would hit him before he reached the fourth step.

Playcalling is a result of how bad this line is and coupled with the fact that Chud still believes the read option is suprising the defense and that his QB can accurately read the defensive end crashing down.

What kind of logic is there in Chud changing now that he's a lame duck? After game three would have been logical but at this point it makes no sense to try anything different.

Enjoy the poo pie that is the 2012 Carolina Panther offense. It won't change until next season.

I agree it doesnt make too much sense especially when you consider the big head that is chud. but if he changed something and it worked, he might get a phone call or two from other teams in the offseason instead of from the unemployment office

Chud waited until Hurney got fired to change anything, and then probably only did it because JR or RR told him he had to. Fast forward to last week's game, and you see Chud going right back to the read option.

I honestly think half the problem with the o-line is they have lost all confidence in the coaches and the scheme. A lot of o-line play is attitude, so if they aren't buying in, it's reflected in their play. Yeah, I know, they are all professionals and have to buck up and all that stuff, but confidence in coaching is very important to performance on the field.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
