Hybrid Wildcat?


Jakob

Recommended Posts

This is a terrible idea.

 

edit: To expand, we saw last year that the wildcat for us was a mediocre running play at best, esp. in the 2nd half of the season.  While Webb may find his way onto the field, I am never in favor of taking the ball completely out of Cam's hands and using him as a distraction. He is our biggest playmaker.

 

Well, in fairness most of our running plays last year were mediocre.  Our average was a rather pedestrian 4.2 per carry, and that is with our quarterback averaging over 5 a carry and getting 5-7 carries a game. 

 

Personnally, i don't have a problem with running the wildcat once or twice a game.  Although I would like to see it run differently, with the rb lining up under center in a short yardage situation, or even throwing it once in a while just to keep the defense honest.

Shula actually had some nice trick plays last year. Our wildcat plays sucked tho, mainly cuz they were way too predictable and DeAngelo was never, ever going to throw it.

 

Maybe he'll get more creative with a dynamic QB/Weapon like Webb.

 

Not a bad idea OP.

We could definitely do some amazing stuff in packages involving Cam and Joe. Both can run, throw (not sure about Webb...) and catch well. If we had a creative OC we could definitely make history with those 2.

I think he was signed as insurance and definitely he will be key on the scout team, when facing Seattle, San Francisco and now Johnny Football.

and he did kickoffs?  he can't be a bad guy to have around on the scout team.  looks like he can do a little bit of everything.

4.2 is not pedestrian.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
