Perspective, Directive, and Erective - The Panthers offensive woes and you

The biggest problem this team faces in 2021 is a horrible lack of depth. This showed against the Colts and again against the Ravens. This won’t be fixed this year, it will take another off-season. So just cross your fingers and hope we can stay relatively healthy.

I mean, if we have some horrible luck, then yeah our depth isn't sufficient, but I don't see our depth as being that out of the ordinary. We need line depth, LBs due to being thin due to injury now, and the same for the defensive backfield. But I think that most teams could stand to have more depth. It's just that the good ones stay ahead of the curve.

I hope you're right about us picking up that Baltimore backup kicker (I think his last name was Verity). He looked silky smooth kicking the ball yesterday, and he's already gotten to learn from the best kicker in the league.

Verity likely won't come free. We're going to have to spend some draft capital.

IT IS PRESEASON. THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING FILM OF PLAYERS IN CERTAIN PLAYS THAN THEY ARE SCORING POINTS.

If it makes anyone feel better about losing preseason games:  the Bucs and the Packers are also 0-2 this preseason.  So at least we're keeping pace with those teams.

Hard to develop depth when 1 guy from the entire 2019 draft is worth a damn. 

Or when after 2019 you literally burned the entire roster to the ground.

This was always going to be the hard part of the rebuild, gaining quality depth. That can't happen in one offseason unless we want to be in perpetual cap hell again. It will likely take 2+ offseasons more to start putting a significant dent in that problem.

So we can watch him suck there too?

How about move him to his most natural position...on the pine?

He's an interior guy. Putting him outside was a mistake.

That's not to say he's great at either spot. But he doesn't have to be great, just better than Paradis.

Paradis is literally probably our second best lineman at the moment. We definitely don't have the luxury of sending him down the depth chart because he is overpaid for what we received. 

Elflein was apparently so effective at center that after drafting him, he was replaced by another draft pick by his team. He's a depth player, not an NFL starter. Get the young guys in there that have a chance to improve and be something. Elflein isn't that.

Update: Ricci was in at fullback on another play in that series, but for the 4th and 1 play it was Colin Thompson.

I agree with that last sentence 😕

Wonder why we aren’t using tremble at the fullback/h-back position 

I’m wondering if on a game day, he is the guy. They might have been giving Ricci and Thompson reps there to see if there is any reason to roster a 4th TE.

Yeah, if Thompson is viewed as a top option at this point….that is worrisome.    Given that was the first series group.  No one likes to talk about FB play….but now that we don’t have Cam handling those one yarders it’s back to being important again.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
