1-3 in the redzone, short yardage, yes, the fumbles have been hits he did not see coming. No one is suggesting it be a staple, that simply wouldn't work, HOWEVER when EDGE defenders are COMPLETELY disregarding him and it's room to run for days it would make sense. Go back and watch the tape it's there, just the thought of him keeping on tape as DC's review film at least takes a defender out of the run as they at least have to pay attention to Bryce.

Are you trying to imply the two guys in the video ''believed'' the front office hype...? The guy reporting from his home (whose name escapes me atm) has been skeptical of the offensive skill players since free agency, and Chris Lea has been a little more optimistic and I'd say steady in his thoughts since Frank came on board... So depending on the point you're trying to make you seem ill-informed in regard to these guys' background on the Panther's situation. They're a decent listed, you may want to go back and review. I think most of us felt the OL was at least in a good spot, not as bad as it's been, BUT we're playing rookies / back ups on the interior with a 5'10 QB. We could stand to move the pocket some more, and get some misdirection on offense, there were a few read type run handoffs where the DE / OLB / Edge setter is COMPLETELY ignoring Bryce keeping the ball. This should not be a ''staple'' in our offense, but we could run a read option a few times just to cut down the backside pursuit and even the box count a bit. We look like a 90s offense but with Pistol.

John Metchie, Tank Dell, Damien Pierce, if you didn't at least know those names for HOU you are very casual. IND is more limited but they picked up Downs, and Pittman Jr is established. It's not so much that they have ''weapons'' it's that IND has PHI's OC as a HC and they brought the same brand of football there to support Anthony. HOU has an offensive mind from the SF staff calling plays as a first year OC iirc. We are the ones wasting an offensive mind from one of the better offensive coaching staffs (Brown) formerly of McVay's staff. I think we are wasting that, we need to play with more tempo at the very least on the first drive, we have a turtle's pace offensively, we look like a team from the 90s.

What games are ya'll watching... Our offense yesterday was a screen, run, screen -- then mix that order up. Right now I'm looking at the play calling, and lack of attempts downfield, the offense Bryce came from in college had plenty of vertical elements to it. We are NOT even trying to throw deep; operationally Bryce has looked the part, he has saved downs where pressure got to him quickly scrambled for conversions, and has been accurate. Personally, I wanted Richardson due to the upside ''if he puts it all together'' but I'm also not going to ignore that even with this poo show of an offense it is somehow on Bryce. We went from a team whose strength was running the ball to literally just straight gut runs...no perimeter runs, we just look like we are still calling a pre-season offense. If you can't see that and are blaming Bryce you're wrong, even in the SEA game it was a similar offense, we just passed it 58 times...Bryce threw 38, and 33 times in Weeks 1, and 2. Our offensive scheme with Reich at the helm currently sucks....we bring in a McVay staff offensive mind in Brown, and the formations/plays look noting like what the Rams do. We were in Trips and Wing Stack formations all game, no reverses, no misdirection on runs, no sweeps etc. Just line up and snap it as we have barely have 7 secs on the play-clock when breaking the huddle.

A pick swap means we only gave up one first since we got their first. I dunno why this is lost on so many people unless it's just an exercise in hyperbole. Trey Lance is the most recent in regards to a bad trade up, it's simply masked due to what we lack...competent offensive play-calling... I am not convinced Brock Purdy is ''that'' guy -- Tent Williams, Deebo, Aiyuk, CMC, Kittle are all number one options on the same team. Add in a competent run scheme that existed BEFORE they inserted CMC with guys like Mostert, Tevin Coleman, etc. Our issue right now is the insistence on running this basic, outdated, flat offense.

Because he was SUSPENDED

Edge, and DL still more valuable than WR, it's easier to replace Dj than Brown, or Burns. It sucked but they wouldn't take an additional future 1st.

Waited to see what they had in live games.

Two INTs from our "elite processing QB" changed the game, lack of a passing attack changed the game, going for it on 4th and failing changed the game...Jaycee Horn injury changed the game....I could go on.

Because people just parrot broad,vague, narratives while not doing any research. Whole rush attack looks limited due to lack of run lanes. That's not a Miles issue. That's an offensive issue.

Y'all downers gotta chill, MIA was built up over 3 YEARS, Flores had Tua on the bench behint Fitzmagic, then they added Waddle Year 2 after Flores was fired, and traded for Hill in year 3, and signed Armstead etc. We're literally heading into Week 4. This was never a season where playoffs was to be expected. This is all about getting Bryce developed for what's to come.

Sam, and Pj were the QBs throwing the past two years to TMJ...and we tripping over 1 game with our perceived franchise QB. Y'all weird, new offense, new reads, new chemistry....relax and let these young guys develop.

Y'all do realize we'll be in Nickel defensive sets primarily...that ONLY calls for 2 IDL, 2 Edge, two off ball LBs and 5 DBs, and that will be somewhere between 65 to 70 pct of the snaps. The "34" base defense only requires 3 DL, so if we carry 5 for now the numbers work, the depth quality is the concern, not the quality. Also it's 3 TEs and Ricci, he's a fullback...that's normal as well even if you wanna classify him casually as a 4th TE.

Because the team DC has him as "Nickel CB". He will remain at safety for me, and play Nickel as needed. He's gonna be multiple for us.

DET had some of their 1s out there, but it wasn't a full compliment.

Jonathan Taylors 232 carries in 2021, and 332 carries in 2022 would like to have a word with you.... https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/4242335/jonathan-taylor If anything the offense features the ''primary'' back keep in mind over those years guys like Nyheim Hines, and Marlon Mack were also on that Colts roster. All signs point to Sanders being a ''big'' part of the offense which is why I think we haven't seen another vet added -- Chuba, Blackshear, and possibly Peoples are probably penciled in as the depth. For the most part the offense Thomas Brown comes from with the Rams featured Gurley while he was healthy, we saw a bit of a split / back and forth with the other back I can't think of at the moment; but both offense have a history of ''featuring'' the number one.

His annual value on that deal is NOT nearly enough to be a cause for concern. It's like 6-7M per season for a HB who's 25 currently. The backs that didn't get ''paid'' are the ones seeking CMC / Derrick Henry Money -- hell even Joe Mixon took a pay cut, as well as Aaron Jones. You still have to have legit talent at the position, and teams like NYG choosing to pay a mid QB 40M, over the guy that was they reason their team functioned is a perfect example of how desperate teams are at QB, they'd overpay an average to below average guy franchise money, while ostracizing their best player in the course.

CJ Stroud's is 73 ovr, with 89 THP via EA marketing ''Lie Detector'' promo. They did not give away any of Bryce's -- he's probably a 74 to 76 ovr, with a weaker arm as most felt Bryce's was ''good'' enough to make all the throws but not elite.

All rookies were lowered INTENTIONALLY during the beta, he was like a 62 ovr, and Bryce was a 63 or 64 as to not spoil rookie reveals.

This ^^^ but they too proud to add this.

He hadstand up reps coming out of Penn St. but keep in mind we will be in Nickel over 60% of the time, he will still be a ''defensive end''. It's a positional change but I expect his role to be similar overall, some Nickel DE / DT pass rush reps. Haynes / Barno / Johnson are more likely the OLB's that will feature in base fronts. YGM will get snaps I'm sure, one thing to keep in mind and people forget this because his sack numbers were low, but he was one of the better run defenders for us last year. So his ability to set the edge in the 3-4 as an OLB is likely undervalued by most atm.

People really tripping over us giving up a 4th... Get the WR bc Chark is on a 1yr deal, and Thielen will be 34 next season. Dj Johnson brings rare traits size, speed, strength, we have no one like that on the roster. If they didn't draft your guy it happens, I can see the vision.

Dumb move.

Byrd is a plus compared to Shi, better receiver, he's faster, and is a proven returner. I'm still stuck that we were featuring Shi over TMJ early this past season. Chark / TMJ / Thielen / Shenault / Byrd -- Shi vs a rookie for the final spot IMO.

It blows my mind how many people give 0 F's about an NFL QB being the size of a JV HS football player. He has undeniable talent, but people are ignoring a HUGE red flag. Durability long term is a real concern. Hes not a small QB, he's tiny. He's smaller than most of the people typing on here.
