When you line up and run the same play on first down like five consecutive times what do you expect?  I mean, if our offensive coordinator is more worried about running clock than gaining yardage how can we blame the poor guy who was forced to run into a mass of humanity over and over again with little hope of success?  It was basically like we just wanted to get first down out of the way so we could try to run our offense on second and third down.  Don't know if its because our OC is a brain dead moron, or that our HC coach values time of possession more than points scored.  The one person I don't blame, however, is the RB who was put in a no win situation again and again.

I think of the argument like the D-Lo situation. He couldn't perform to his ability with the offensive game plans of Shula. The team want to be a run first team but the play call scheme is just bad. It slows down the RB's and never open up holes. There was one play that Stew ran that I thought he could have been gone but looked slow running. I think a younger guy like Cap would have been gone. In the end, Stew did what he had to do with what was given to him.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
