electro's horse

he completed less than 50% of his passes and his ypa of 6.6 was a full yard less than the league average in 2025. Bryce's average for the year was 6.4 so he was basically what he always is. For whatever reason canales offense did well against this rams defense in Charlotte this year. I think the biggest takeaway from that game, especially in the first half, is that the Rams should have had their foot on the Panthers throat and just let it slip away.

the panthers do not have the personnel to play man across the board against the rams. very few teams in the league do. Instead of having a WR settling into a zone in the middle of the field you'll have one running full speed wide open when they catch. Panthers are trading yards for time hoping they can tighten up in the red zone because they're protecting a 4 point lead. this is basic stuff. there's a reason harukia nakamura doesn't have a statue outside the stadium.

oh my god no Carson Beck sucks ass. There's a reason he got run out of Georgia. Kid gets dumber the more bad tattoos he gets. He's also a bigger bitch than Bryce. Comedy option Diego Pavia. They'd never draft him because he absolutely would win the job out of training camp and they'd have to start Bryce anyway to save face

The panthers blitzed on 3 of the last seven plays. It was Rozeboom and you can argue he shouldn’t be on the field but still the touchdown throw was a great throw great catch against good defense agains the boundary where the tight end also somehow defied the laws of physics. They practice too this was after horn went out the series before and I think Cherelus but I can’t be sure I just don’t understand what people expect in that situation. All out blitz every play? This isn’t madden. you can argue we should have used timeouts, but a lot of that is based on where they are on the field. They scored from just outside the 20. Panthers call a timeout then the rams get to change their personnel. Panthers have the personnel advantage (in theory) in that situation, and you can make the argument you don’t want to give them a chance to change. the rams just made an insane play. regardless, if you want more timeouts called, that’s on Canales, not evero.

Total QBR has a “clutch” adjustment that ESPN won’t give specifics on Should tell you everything you need to know

QBR is a proprietary statistic and ESPN won’t even fully reveal how they calculate it. not sure how you get “less subjective” out of that.

So you're saying the defense played great until the end of the game. maybe they were tired? maybe player fatigue level impacts the kind of plays you call? Maybe there is a reason the panthers defense was so tired at the of the game? Maybe the Panthers don't have the skill or depth on defense to overcome a completely ineffective offense? Maybe these exact same circumstances are the only time that bryce looks like an average NFL QB? nah. fire evero

/glances at season stats

Hard to invest in the dline when you’re doing everything you can to build an offense ranked in the mid twenties. my favorite tidbit for the game was they blitzed 3 times on the rams last seven offensive plays. Each time it was Rozeboom and each time he just kinda disappeared

With the season on the line, you gotta go to the guy with 11 career receptions.

Hes slowing down here because the ball is poorly thrown. Hes got a safety over top in zone who was keyed in on him (look at the path the safety takes) and a defender playing trail. If this ball is in front of him he basically has to wall glitch 90 degrees in a very small space and break two tackles. This from the only guy on the team smaller than bryce. we’ll never know because bryce threw a duck at his back heel. Just catching that and getting down and calling a timeout is a good play there. We don’t need to fantasize hero poo. better question is why they’re throwing to Jimmy horn in this situation at all but that’s an uncomfortable one to ponder for “team mediocrity is supreme” on this board.

Certainly higher profile but if think their recent track record of hires indicates they’re not well thought of us among the coaches. They’re also kinda weird about “culture hires” which is how you end up with guys like Joe Judge. Falcons firing (promoting?) rich McKay again is a good move, and they have basically unlimited resources in Atlanta. Plus you get to play in the nfc south. He also just might take a year off

Probably a TD? Hm

Listen it’s not fair to evaluate bryce without four full years with Canales, and if you’re gonna have him play the fifth year you might as well lock him up long term in case he breaks out which he’s definitely going to do any season now.

Now he has to spend time with his wife, poor bastard.
