When did we start blaming owners for bad offenses? He isn't the GM or coach. He pays the bills. And Tepper will pay to bring in the best guys available. That's all you want in an owner. Rhule was a hot commodity when he came here. It didn't work. Tepper moved on before the contract was over. He payed Rhule to leave Carolina when it was obvious he wasn't the guy! And he's PAID for an all-star staff here now! That comes out of his bottom line. That ain't cap folks!

Please stop. Bryce was the right pick. Say it with me. Bryce Young was the right pick. That doesn't mean he'll have the better career. Takes a team to WIN. But he was the right pick for this team and this offense. Just need a little more creativity in getting these receivers open. They are not able to consistently do it on their own.

Agree! No one's biting on comebacks, curls, double moves, etc. when there's no fear of getting beat deep. Maybe the Falcons and Saints just have really good secondaries, but they've been disrespectful with allowing Panther receivers to break their cushion. Total disregard for deep routes. Total. Heck our receivers can't even give good moves on the lateral routes either. If you don't have good straight line speed and you're not quick laterally, it's gonna be tough to beat guys in the NFL.

This was always the goal. I think expectations changed as the season started because we want to see our team win games. This is a process that will take a year or 2 before we see real improvement in the wins column. New QB. New staff. New wide receivers. New RBs. New TEs. Bryce ain't THE problem. He's what we thought he was. But just like any QB in the NFL, he can't win plays or games by himself. I just don't see how Brown is gonna learn to OC if you don't let him call plays. Reich should give up play calling and let the entire team develop, coaches included. I think we're gonna see a different Panthers by like week 10-12 if everyone is given a real chance to develop. By then, we'll know who rides shotgun and who needs to take a backseat.

Dang Scot! You gone hurt some feelings in here with that. I agree and I blame it on mainstream sports media with their clickbait titles and stances on "the topics of the day". Stewart Scott had no idea what kind of a monster he was creating. He was just trying to make it fun, and they took it over the top.

Just because he CAN play, doesn't mean he SHOULD play. If Bryce isn't 100%, then it doesn't make sense for him to go out there and risk REAL injury. Good call by Reich. Honestly wish someone would have done this for Cam, but you know, Ron... The only problem I have with Reich right now is giving up the playcalling duties. It's not horrible, but it doesn't fit this team. And letting Thomas get a go at it can't possibly make things worse. Panthers are the worse passing offense in the NFL. Can't get worse than last. This is the perfect time to give Thomas a go at it, with Bryce out.

Just go hire everybody that coaches and scouts WRs at Ohio State. Put them in charge of the next 2 drafts. Give them as many picks as they want. Bomb on the NFL for the next 5-10 years. Will probably lose every game 63-56 but at least it'd be fun to watch!

Agree on the speedy WR element. It keeps defenses honest. Bates doesn't cheat down in the Falcons game if you have that guy. With all the big/tall first round receivers Hurney kept drafting for Cam's inaccuracy, things really turned around when Ginn entered the picture - well Ginn and a semi-competent offensive line.

CJ and Bryce were always 1a and 1b. Just depended on what type of offense you wanted to run. I never bought into that clear cut #1 label. Reich wants quick decisions and getting the ball out within 2-3 seconds. Bryce is the better pick there. Unfortunately, these WRs aren't getting open on a consistent basis and Reich isn't calling plays that'll help them.

Can't believe people making such a big deal out of that.

Quiet dudes take a lot to get after you, but once they do it's hard to stop them. They smash until you stop moving.

I don't know about the only one, but probably the BIGGEST one.

Sorry I wasn't clear. That's what I'm asking. Wanted to know what happened when the All22 is available.

1:23 why didn't he throw that screen to Laviska?

You guys... Did you all watch CJ against Baltimore last week? You're saying CJ has shown more arm strength than Bryce? Better decision making? Better accuracy? Stop the cap.

Why is Tepper a bad owner? What's the expectation for owners that he isn't meeting? Not disagreeing with you, but don't understand the reasoning. He pays for the best coaching staff money can buy. Rhule didn't work out, but he was highly sought after and Tepper gave him a deal he couldn't pass up. Is Tepper making decisions he shouldn't be making? Is he overriding other front office personnel that he shouldn't be?

Not positive that's the case with Bryce, but I've seen that a lot. And it is a lack of natural arm strength. It can be improved, but may impact accuracy.

He needs to run a Shanahan type passing game. We don't have the backs for the running game, but could definitely pull off their passing game with Laviska, Chark, Thielen and Sanders out of the backfield - no he's not CMC, and no Laviska ain't Deebo but they could pull off similar concepts. Stop asking guys to do what they can't or aren't ready to do yet.

I honestly think Thielen is the only one the understands the route combination concepts. Everyone else is just running to a spot.

That's not how the Dolphins roll. They will bomb your a22 from the word go. If you can't score, they'll embarrass you because you ain't keeping up with that track team of WRs.

Playcalling is important. Playmakers are more important. Bryce doesn't really have either right now. Maybe Laviska is, but you know... doesn't get touches. Cam was a Madden create a player. Bryce will never be that. Only a completely inept coaching staff like Rivera's could have screwed up his career.

Sheena out there asking the right question

Nah Shaq is a really good 4-3 WLB. Unfortunately, he doesn't really fit as a 3-4 ILB.

Bro... Manning had Marshall Faulk and Marvin freakin Harrison his rookie year. We ain't got that.

I mean Thielen got a few yards out of one or two of them. Mingo looked like he had no idea what to do with it. Laviska is the screen king. But let's draw one up like Shanahan does with Deebo. We know it's coming too, but...
