I don't like that stance.

Makes a large assumption that b/c players are still playing hard they are doing it for the coach. Our core players can have little to no faith overall in the ability of our coaches YET still play hard.

Not usually true. What about Morris in Tampa? Were they playing for him? No. Were they playing hard?? No. Yet they still had jobs and knew he was going to be fired.

Should I go down the list of teams that have quit on their coach or stop playing for them?? It is a much longer list than those teams that played hard with no faith in their coach. Particularly on a team like the Panthers with young players in key roles and questionable leadership. If the players didn't believe in the coaches, this team would have folded weeks ago. Players questioning not going for it a few weeks ago is a far cry from not believing in the coaching staff at all.

I thought everyone who knows even a modicum about Rivera and his pedigree knew he came from San Diego and was close to Turner. Rivera hired his son as offensive control coordinator. You really just figured out that they were close???

Do we pattern some of the offense after the Chargers?? Duh......

For the most part there have really been only 3 major offensive systems out there, the WCO, the Coryell vertical passing game, and the Erhardt/Perkins System which incorporates everything else. Some argue that the whole spread option system is distinct but many see it as an EPS variation.

For that matter, this isn't the only time we ran the Coryell System. We ran in with Fox when Henning was the coordinator from 2002 to 2005.

By the way the San Diego offense has been pretty prolific most years. It is down this year but in 2011 it was 6th in the league, in 2010 it was 1st in the league, in 2009 it was 10th. So we could do a lot worse. Honestly the whole Coryell System is custom built for us. I would hate to scrap it for a WCO for example.

I am with you on that sir. I do not think that the WCO would suit Cam at all.

      Panthers schedule is out

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down

      yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
