So, the problem is on offense?  I guess that's new and refreshing!  Marshawn Lynch is a big difference maker between the teams - or simply put, clock management and ball control.

 

Very aggravating considering what little has been done to improve the offense.

Even more frustrating is that the defense lost a few players that provided quality depth.

From the article:

"If you ignore the Z-score and look at just the PPG above or below average, the top defenses since 1978 are Tampa Bay 2002 (+9.8), Chicago 1985 (+9.4), Seattle 2013 (+8.9), Carolina 2013 (+8.6), Pittsburgh 2008 (+8.2), and Baltimore 2000 (+8.0). That’s five Super Bowl winners out of six teams, the maximum possible given this combination."

Cool stat.  And for the most part, Carolina's defense is still intact.  The front 7 will be exactly the same save for some new additions.  Secondary remains to be seen, but I have high hopes for Cason since he played his best seasons under Rivera.

I think everything fell into place with the d because Ron and co were coaching for their lives.

Now the heat is just simmering and everyone is thinking rebuilding so no pressure.

I don't think RR ever coached "for his job."

I think I know what you mean. But...don't all coaches coach "for their job" every game?

Rivera is Rivera. You know what you are going to get from him. He is willing to listen and grow, but basically he is going to be/coach the only way he knows. Give it your best, and let the chips fall where they may.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
