I have to assume they made them stick to just one thing. IDK that I would say it's the most glaring, either. I think QB play is.

JFC....I was looking at other NFL Missed Tackle stats and I found out that among qualifying players, Jaycee Horn has the worst Missed Tackle Percentage in the entire NFL. I knew he was having a bad season in that regard but I didn't think it was NFL worst level. WTF

Honestly, I might have to take a look at the 3rd down pressure/blitz rates. I don't think we blitz on 3rd down very often.

I do think Rozebum may be near the league leader in missed tackles. Let me verify. Edit: Tied for 9th in the NFL with 17.

100% true. I think he is also just real world, country dumb too.

Carolina ranks 15th on first down by DVOA and 13th on second down. Yet they rank 31st on third down, ahead of only the Cowboys. If you prefer more conventional stats, they rank 31st in conversion rate allowed on third downs; opponents move the sticks 46.7% of the time against the Panthers on third down and 63.6% of the time on fourth down. The Panthers managed to force two turnovers on third down against the Rams in their Week 13 upset, but this is not a trend that has gotten any better in recent weeks. And the top offenses on third down this season include the 49ers, Packers, Eagles and Rams.

I am not opposed to it.

I cannot recall a first round draft pick this overwhelmingly football stupid. Efe Obada had more football awareness and his football background was almost nothing.

His potential will clearly never be realized but he could be, as you said, a priority special teamer. He's athletic enough to potentially excel at that.

Overwhelmingly the least talented. I think people quickly forgot how big of a talent deficit we had last year. That's gonna take at least a couple of more good offseasons to really chip away at that.

People are just refusing to accept he is a bust.

Dude, HELL no. He would do something incredibly stupid like get a fuging penalty or fumble the snap. You do NOT take your least disciplined player and put them in that crucial of a situation. Honestly, if they are going to do a tush push type play, it should be Dowdle getting the snap.

I would disagree. We are also hamstrung by a bottom 5 OC and HC in the NFL. Hence why they seem so unprepared at various times during the season, hence why we see them spontaneously go away from plays that are functional and never return, despite repeated failures. Bryce and Dave deserve co-credit for how shitty we sometimes look. In fact, Dave moreso because his personnel decisions(including Bryce, XL, etc) are fuging terrible at times.

This is why I cannot understand this logic. The "get rid of" ship has sailed. It's just a matter of how long these abusive relationships last.
