NFL's most passing yards in a half this season.

(i)  Isn't that the goal?  Design an offense that maximizes the output based on the all players on the team including the QB...sure seems like the goal.

(ii)  "Daring" a player to "step outside" of the offense seems entirely counterproductive --- why the hell would anyone want to do that?

For me that's exactly the point. The best teams will figure out how to take away the scheme's bread and butter, so can Teddy be successful doing what will be needed outside of his usual comfort zone and the team still win, a la Alex Smith in KC (answer there was no)? I am skeptical since there is no evidence yet supporting that he can, and it will take at least a full season, if not two, to answer.

BUMP were are the TB haters 

Honest question, not judging; when you decided to sign up and/or change your screen name, were you a TB hater or lover?  

I don't spend a lot of time "keeping score" on where each poster and their most recent alt stand(s) but it is clear why TB was on the top of the list of a bunch of teams this offseason and kudo's to the FO for moving on the deal fast. 

I like winning and getting rival coaches fired a hell of a lot better than rooting for losses (in September?) to get a better draft position.

Originally? eeesh that would be before the great server reset of 08' TB was 16.... I do believe my names have always been defensive players although I did take a multi year hiatus of lurking, I have no other handles, I was quite sauced when I signed up. I truthfully had no expectations for this team winning a game early in the season... and figured TB would be a 3400 yard 60% passer, I have been presently surprised.

Disagree.

Poorly coached teams might struggle in the scenario you describe...

...but a Matt Rhule & Joe Brady coached team will always have an in-context parry & riposte for any sort of attack the defense may attempt to mount.

You need not look any further than the Ron Rivera coached Panthers for a prime example of how "asking" the QB to "step outside" of the offense is a losing strategy.

Disagree then, but player abilities are as much a key element as coaching. I agree with you completely about Rivera but your statement in bold already attributing top-tier coaching ability to Rhule and Brady after 5 games against the teams they've played is... premature at best. Even Belichick and Brady/Carroll and Wilson/Reid and Smith (a direct comparison IMO) at times haven't schemed and executed their way past the best in the game and all of those players are known quantities with infinitely more proven resumes than TB right now. It's just the reality of sports. Hell, Rhule's record in college was barely above 500 and against top-tier college programs was not great, including a 1-3 record in bowl games. He's a program builder of course and all of those programs quickly trended up but there is no empirical evidence of prolonged success once he's been quantified.

Am I 'hating' as this term likes to be tossed around? Absolutely not - simply looking at the objective evidecne. As I said earlier in another thread the arrow is definitely pointing up and the team, including TB, is clearly playing well. 5 games though is an irrelevant sample size.

I'm confident it's not premature in any way, shape or form.  

The ability to identify and isolate value -- early -- is what creates the world's great fortunes and the Panthers owner is one of a small handful of the most capable in the world...there's a reason he agreed to pay Rhule all that money.

While I'm certainly not saying Rhule falls into this category I guarantee you Tepper has had some spectacular failures along the way to those riches as well. Y'all are just over the top at this point.

It's almost as if he's suggesting a player should reject amazing couching or that we should immediately switch to an air Coryell.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
