We have an OL built for power concepts and an offense that runs primarily finesse concepts. This is not an OL built to zone block but that's what we ask them to do. The Broncos under Shanahan always had a great zone blocking OL. They generally consist of smaller, quicker OL. They rarely had a starter much over 300 pounds.

It was just some of the most nonsensical, try hard word salad I've read in quite awhile.

Did you use a chat bot for that post? Because it honestly reads like you just tried to force fit in every QB analyst cliche term under the sun.

I never understood how people though game planning was going to fix it. You might be able to scheme around a weak link but when your entire OL looks like a sieve you can't scheme 'em up to fix that. Ickey would be on the sidelines giving an interview all happy go lucky after looking like a human turnstile. It felt like The Twilight Zone

We approached preseason like we were a team expected to be Super Bowl contenders with few questions marks and had it all figured out. Not a team with a rookie QB, new coaching staff, and new systems to install. It was baffling at the time and it's kinda infuriating now seeing how poo we are. It seems like the entire organization was just completely blind to how much work we needed. They bought their own hype that was literally only coming from within their own echo chamber.

They'll be back if we start winning again. Or they won't. Posters come and go over the years. Years of losing guts fanbase though.

OL play around the league is at an all-time low. There are a handful of good OLs and every other OL is varying degrees of suck. The Panthers feel about middle of the pack amongst the suck crowd. If you want to watch truly bad, watch the Giants or Commanders.

I mean, that doesn't really bother me. Ultimately it's not about the coaching style that gets players' respect. If they think you can help the team win games and help them advance their careers they're gonna respect you and tune in. If they don't they won't. I honestly think it's just that simple.

He's on pace for about 800 yards and 6 TDs this year and I think he'll actually trend up from there with Jahan Dotson starting to look like a bust.

They all do but I think Bryce probably needs a Tua or Purdy situation. Elite weapons all over the place with an offensive wunderkind Manning the play sheet. That's really hard to replicate.

Word was that he was fired when he was in Indy because the locker room had just completely quit on him.

I think he was convinced Teddy was going to be an MVP caliber QB too.

These clowns thought their "point guard" could make below average weapons serviceable. It's the opposite. You need weapons to lift this type of QB up.

Winning cures everything. If we start winning the positive vibes only crowd will poo post for a few weeks dunking on the frustrated crowd and then after that most everyone will be happy.

Yeah, I would consider Samuel a good 2nd round pick.

There's too many of them for a dedicated thread to make sense and I don't get any reported posts or cries for moderation from them.

We have some coming up. I hope he lights it up and shuts me up.

There's only a handful of posters who insist on positive opinions only. I'd offer a forum if I could create one.

Our average scoring margin is a two possession defeat. We were only within one possession twice and one of those was just barely at 8 points. We gotta start actually competing first then we can worry about winning.

It's why I thought that Ickey might end up as an OG in the NFL.

Seems like anyone who disagrees with you is automatically "lazy and ridiculous" so whatever.

Agreed. You don't have to throw deep a lot, but you do have to go deep effectively enough to establish the threat. It gets really tough to effectively move the football when the entire field is redzone offense.

Agreed. I think he's a good player, he's just not a good LT in our system. He's probably an OG in this type of offense.

This is the problem. For some posters anything that doesn't fit their viewpoint is trolling. The comp to Teddy was sincere. Both Bryce and Teddy are good QBs in the short to mid-range game but struggle to threaten the defense vertically. When Teddy was our QB, there were a handful of positive vibes only posters who would always make sarcastic posts anytime Teddy would complete a pass over 10 yards. It feels like the same thing all over again.

He excelled last year in a more power run oriented offense. I just don't know that he's the right style of LT in our current offense. He's probably always going to be more of a power oriented player. We just have square pegs in round holes all over this roster IMO.
