If I was betting man, I'd be living in a box. I would have bet the farm on the Panthers that day. Vonn Miller ruined everything. Well Vonn and Shula. After ther first time, it NEVER should have happened again. Simple adjustment.

And don't underestimate the role Chud plays. He could dial up plays to get guys open. Cam stood in there and made plays from the pocket (everyone thought he's run at the first sign of pressure), but guys would pop open.

Agree that Cam was in a really good situation to succeed. Offensively, Moton would start when Otah was injured. Definitely over Bell. Honestly, Burns is a situational player on that team. He doesn't start over Hardy or Johnson. They're more complete DEs. Unless he played a different position. Luvu might start. Luke wasn't drafted until 2012. Brown would start too. Star and Short were drafted in 2013.

I don't know about gamble, but he's brought some players to Carolina. Not his fault coaches don't use them properly or take full advantage. And yes, he's been on some bad deals too.

I don't think Fitterer is doing THAT bad of a job. In my opinion, Reich needs to focus on managing the game on Sundays and stop trying to be a playcaller. Calling plays never ends once the opening kick off happens. You're constantly reviewing trends and formations to come up with solutions, and figure out how to force favorable match ups. How can he do all that and still manage the game as the HC. From the clock mismanagement, not knowing who's in the game (TMJ, Thielen and Chinn), leaving Zavala in there when there was an obviously better option on the bench, running Miles into the line when he's obviously injured or not comfortable between the tackles, not getting the ball to Laviska even though he's the best playmaker on the team, throwing screens to Ian and ignoring Hurst, etc... He's missing the big stuff because he's too much in the weeds trying to figure out the next play on offense. His job is to oversee every aspect of the game and offer expertise and guidance, even if that's just asking the right questions. Like, if TMJ led the team in receptions last week, why hasn't he played a down? If Chinn led the team in tackles/sacks last week, why is only playing 19% of the defensive snaps? I still have hope for Frank, but every week he forgoes his responsibilities as a HC on game days, so he can live out some fantasy of calling plays in the NFL, I lose more and more hope that he's the right guy. The team is missing his leadership on game days. That's a HC's most important role.

Facemask. The ball literally hit him in has face. Right between the eyes.

You have to give him 3 years. He isn't a bust, but more "not living up to the hype." I get why people are upset now. But he didn't pick himself. That's on the Panthers FO. He shouldn't have been the #1 pick, but he's a solid 1st round talent. Would have been better on a better team. I see his ceiling as a Drew Brees type of player with a little more escapability. He won't wow you but I think he'll be a very solid QB by end of next season, if his trajectory continues and the team improves. Better play design and playcalling will improve his performance more than anything. Then better weapons and finally better protection.

Come on LG... are you being real or trying to win an argument? That OL was 10 times better. Chud was a much better playcaller. Smitty alone, even at 30+ was way better than any WR on this team now. A true #1 opens things up for everyone else. And Olsen and Shockey vs Hurst and Thomas? And double trouble vs Sanders and Chuba? Bryce is fine as a rookie. Maybe he isn't Stroud or Richardson. Maybe he isn't the savior we want him to be yet. But he's playing fine for the situation he's in now.

I disagree. We have a rookie that's asked to carry an offense with his arm and he doesn't have the weapons or the protection to realistically be able to do that. Then he starts pressing and making mistakes trying to make plays since no one else can, but that's ok for now. Bryce just needs to take the approach he did yesterday - the Peyton Manning approach. Just go out there and play. Learn from your mistakes but let it rip and figure out what you can and cannot do in the NFL. The playcalling, protection and weapons will fix themselves - eventually - we hope. Control what he can control which is getting better as a QB. The pressure of trying to make a bad team win games isn't fair for a rookie.

He would look a lot better. You know that. Would he look as good as Cam? Maybe not. Probably not. But there's no doubt he would look a lot more "NFL ready" than he does now.

Shanahan alone makes a HUGE difference! Even the screens are different. Why does it seem like our screens require a guy to make a defender miss right away, while Deebo and CMC seem to have a Cadre of blockers in front of them on their screens? That's play design and timing. That's creating the matchups you want instead of guessing the defense. Completely different situations.

Purdy is asked to make a couple of high caliber throws a game. And he usually makes them. Bryce is asked to make chicken salad out of chicken ish almost every time he drops back. And with virtually no run game to lean on, it's up to him to make the offense work.

Physically there's no argument there. Cam was made in a dang lab. I guess my point is, do you think Bryce would look a lot better in that situation than this one?

Cam came into a very good offensive situation. From Chudd to the OL to the TEs to the WRs to the RBs. That team was tiers better at every single position. No one on today's Panthers offense would start on that team. Maybe Moton. Maybe.

I remember that play during the game. This snap shot looks even worse than I thought. Bro run to daylight. Every running back is taught that from day one.

50-17 Hill has 152yds and 2 tds

I just don't understand being negative about your QB all the time. I'm alright with holding a guy accountable but to spin every positive into a negative is just... Kind of a toxic trait in my opinion. If he makes a bad play, say he made a bad play. If he makes a good play, then say that. And it's 100% too early to make definitive statements about anything, good or bad, regarding how he'll play his entire career. That's just foolishness . He's 4 games in. This is Bryce Young's 4th game playing in the NFL.

That was a big turnover...

Dang Troy!!! Chill bro!

Detroit has a legit offense. They can move the ball on anyone. We have to score with them. Same as Dolphins.

Giving me Rivera vibes. A guy has to get injured to replace him with the better player.

Keep feeding Shenault. Nice playcall. Keep it simple on the goal line.

Ball was late and behind him.

Yo something ain't right here. Bryce can't even run sneaks?! Something ain't right. There's some ish going on behind the scenes.

He's gonna have 150 receptions this season. I don't think that would happen on any other team in the NFL.
