Hypothetical question for the AZ game...(Game management)

4th quarter.

 

AZ has all their timeouts. Panthers have 1 timeout left.

We are up 27-24. 2:36 left on the clock. We run into a 4th and 2 situation on their 38.

 

Does Rivera go for the first down, attempt a long field goal or punt?

 

What do you want him to do in this situation?

 

 

*** To give you an idea of the game flow.

Lets say we have 6 sacks.

Palmer is 28-44 for 316  yards and  passing 2 TD's and 1 INT.

Their other TD was set up by a long punt return that allowed Mendenhall a 3 yard TD run.

 

* As for us we are 10-16 on converting 3rd downs but 4-4 on 3rd and 3 or less and Gano has already connected on a 49 yard FG with ease..

Man, I hope RR has really turned the corner cos he said they went into the Giants game knowing they had to score TD (duh!). Cam once said that the way to win is to dominate, ie, keep going at the opponents throat until the game is over. The last thing this team needs is another TD under two minutes to lose the game!

It really just depends on how well we were doing on offense. Considering the hypothetical score of 27-24 and our 3rd down efficiency, it would probably mean we were moving the ball rather well (Arizona, too)....which means I would take my chances and go for it.

 

But I'll go a step further....If points were hard to come by and both scores were in the teens (still up by 3), I would probably test that leg of Gano's.

 

And then there's that gritty 3rd situation that we all love....where both teams are kinda moving the ball and then kinda not. The scores are still pretty low for both teams and overall, it's been a really sloppy game. However, the team with the ball last (almost always not us) takes it down the field in one full swoop and goes up by 4 points. Yeah....if it's a situation like that, I would probably go for it. Seen it go the other way so many times.

Well the Cards are sporting the 3rd ranked rush D in the league, we aren't that great converting 3rd and shorts over 1 yard it seems(didn't look it up). If we are that deep in their territory I attempt the coffin corner punt. If as you say the D is playing well, let them build some confidence and go out there and get the win. It would be a huge boost for them going forward.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Not sure I completely agree but it's a pretty accurate list

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
