I was really excited about us bringing in Sean Ryan, but Im starting to get concerned. We have not had a QB flourish under him. 

Yeah, I haven't been all that impressed.

You can say it's what he's had to work with, but still...

I mean he hasn't has much to work with until now.  Bad QBs plus a bad OL for them to throw behind has to be one hell of a challenge for a QB coach.

Jeremy Chinn stepping the fug up

Was gonna wait until my lunch break to watch, but I guess it's time to get paid and mark out 

[Captroop]

Great production, and great clips. These are always a highlight of the offseason.

This video is encouraging me to stop hanging out on the Huddle so much.

I realized watching this, if I didn't spend so much time here, I wouldn't have an opinion on who should be starting or how many reps someone should be getting. I'd just be enjoying watching Panthers football, and rooting for whoever is taking snaps under center. I like Baker. Have liked him for years, and if you'd told me a couple years ago he'd be a Panthers QB, I'd do a backflip. I like Darnold. He's never had anything but an atrocious team and an atrocious O-Line in front of him, and part of me really wouldn't mind him starting week 1 because I don't think we've actually see him perform up to his potential.

Dammit, I'm optimistic, and the only reason I feel an reservation in being optimistic is the constant negativity and criticism flying around here.

 

More of this. More of watching these guys grind and have fun. And less pissing and moaning and armchair GM-ing.

Mayfield was surrounded by talent.

Where? He had horrible coaches (including KS imo), and his two best receivers wouldn't be a number 1 receiver on any other team. I don't even know if Landry is a 2nd receiver anymore. His tightends were meh for most of the time he was there. Njoku broke out as possibly a good TE (not good at blocking) but a year before 2021 fans wanted him cut from the team.. He had great running backs that KS seemed to misuse. And the oline while being good (better at run blocking) they were injured a lot especially last year. Defense was below average most of the time. The browns lost to the chiefs in the playoffs because of the defense. Basically baker never really had that great of pass catchers and even if you think I'm wrong about that, KS likes to scheme for tightends, a group the browns were below average at.

Please.  He brought some talent there but his WR's dropped more balls than they caught.  If 5 coaches in 4 years aren't going to call an offense suited to a gunslinger don't look at Baker.

[Panthers Rhule]

I loved the ST coach scamming the players out of a dollar. That was funny.

[Panthers Rhule]

I also loved what Rhule told the team, If you want it you've got to fight for it. He's right. If you don't earn what you get then it means nothing. We are not special. Some of us may think we are and some people may let you think you are but in the end you are not. I like this approach. If you want it, earn it. Man up and take it but do so with integrity and respect. THAT, is building a culture. Or at least the type of culture that I can believe in and support.

I hate to say it, but Rhule was somewhat likable in this

I mean that is what a car salesman does. Makes you thing you are best friends. His speeches always sound like a politician.

Rivera was likeable to the nth degree.

Still is...

Quit watching after the Rhule rah rah speach...good group of guys. They need a professional coach.

Yeah the head coach should just make absolutely no attempt to hype up his team for the season… Smh dude what are you even talking about.

You mean the part where he opened with how the Panthers and himself are viewed as a joke? 

[Jackie Lee]

Baker seems like a natural leader, connects with everyone. Darnold seems like he'd be happy to be a career backup for the next 5-10 years, joke around and practice and play the occasional snap or two

I'm sure he would, but having a turnover prone backup QB is not what you're looking for.  You need that guy who will protect the ball and not lose the game.
