I've been through Joe Pendry's completely unimaginative offenses. I've watched Rodney Peete struggle under center, and I've sat through some pretty miserable seasons. But I've never, ever seen an offense as ill-prepared to face a defense as I did tonight. It's not as if we were just outplayed, we were severely outcoached. Even last year, when we went through our quarterback carousel, the offense clicked better than it did today.

A lot of people are going to blame Jake for our ineffectiveness tonight. But how do you explain the lack of production from our running game? Where were the screens and underneath routes to take advantage of what Arizona gives up to everyone? Who called all the plays over the top to Smitty, and why did they continue to be called after it was obvious that Arizona was following Seattle's playbook from 2005? Seriously, what the HELL happened to the running game?

Yeah, a lot of people will blame this on Jake, but Joe Montana wouldn't have been any more effective with the plays called tonight. Please go back to the Browns. You suck at playoff football, and that's unacceptable.

A great deal of it IS Jake's fault. I've stuck up for him for years, but tonight was ridiculous. BUT, that being said, I believe a great deal of his execution goes hand-in-hand with the plays being called. Look at what the Cardinals were doing. Long crossing routes, screens, slants, mixing in the run.

Look at ours... Toss, toss, toss. Toss, draw, pass = int. It's the same mundane, vanilla sh*t every week. I said in the other thread, his play calling almost gave away about 3 games this year, with the Saints being the most recent... Tonight it bit us in the ass, to the point we couldn't recover.

Turd is an idiot, but the defense would still be able to do a little something just off talent, if they weren't on the field for almost 20 minutes in the first half.

Blame Jake if you want, but where was the running game? We ran all over the Giants, are you telling me the Cards have more talent on defense? If it was all Jake then you would see us having success on the ground.

Jake has a track record of success in the playoffs. Coaches manage their players and put them in a position to succeed. After the second interception tonight, there were no adjustments and no changes to the play-calling. I believe this is on Davidson.

Just curious, if you think this is all on Jake can you explain why we pretty much did the same thing in the second half after our lack of success in the first?

I never thought I would really miss Henning, but after that abortion of an offensive showing I sure do now.

and just as much on Trgo. The cards scored at will. Haha the only thing that did run half ass right was ST and I have wanted Crossman's head on a stick for a while.

Blame goes to, in this order:

#1 - Davidson - Why the hell are you calling a QB Bootleg when the pocket hasn't been collapsing? Why so many pass plays?? Especially on 1st down... ESPECIALLY on 1st and 5!!!

#2 - Jake Delhomme - Bad day to turn 34. Also a bad day to have your worst ever day in your career.

#3 - Trgo - For our defensive ineptitude. We looked like fish out of the water in the 1st half. We didn't know WHAT was going on or WHAT TO DO!!??!

#4 - John Fox - Whenever you would like to manage a game, please let somebody know.... When your QB has committed 4 turnovers in a playoff game, it is time to put in the backup. No questions asked.. Perhaps Fox should've pulled an Andy Reid and benched Jake for a game... Sometimes in order to take a step forward you have to take a step back.. Sick of his BS post game talk also.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
