Losing faith in Rod. It always seemed to me we were riding talent a little more than coaching. The same mistakes happening in the playoffs over and over. That is on coaching. Now our plug and play system is no longer working and we may miss the playoffs. His seat should be hot if that happens.

I still have faith in Rod tha Bod... but he's gonna have to make some changes to his coaching staff. The PP is unacceptable and has been for a long time. I don't know who is responsible for special teams, but maybe start with them.

Brind'Amour seems to have a complete blind spot when it comes to the goalie position. Given the choice, he will pick the wrong goalie at least 7/10 times. It feels to me, as a dumbass fan, that our goalies are well coached. We don't have the best development program, but we seem to get the most out of the talent we have at the position.

Some of this mess falls on Wadell, too. I think he bought into the "plug and play" ability of our system as much as Rod. We have let a lot of talent walk out the door over the past 2 offseasons, and most of their replacements have proven inadequate or walked out the door themselves.

Overall, both men are among the top 5 in the world at their respective jobs. This season feels like they have rested on their laurels a bit. But, we are still in 2nd place in our division despite going 0fer our last 5.

NGL tho, if I was Dundon, and heard Rod tell a reporter postgame, "No, we don't need to change the way we play. We can't change the way we play. When you do that, that's how you lose games," I might've rage fired him on the spot...

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
