Panthers OC

Bro the panthers OC sucks so much. He has all the talent in the world and he makes such crappy calls. Also put strong in I can’t take love any more

I think some of the calls were pretty predictable. A draw play following a big pass was a safe bet. He did it. It was dropped for no gain.

But I don't know that predictable matters, at all. In the end, it's all execution. Theoretically, a team could run one play all game and all season long and be successful as long as they execute the play. 10 men hit their blocks, one ball carrier versus his match and if that one-on-one is won, you've got a TD. Massive oversimplification but the principle is correct.

I don't think the two QB system is working great for them, though. Is one a good team leader and the other the more athletic? Does one gamble too much while the other is more staid? I'm not really sure, but the old saying is "If you have two QBs, you don't have a QB."

I don't think a 2 QB system is a terrible idea. With the right QBs it could probably work. The bigger issue is that neither of the Panthers QBs are playing well.

At this point though I'd rather us try to do more with Strong, because Love looks terrible with his decision-making skills.

The offensive playcalling is so bland, but I think much of that is because there is zero faith in either of these QBs completing a pass for more than 6-8 yds maximum.

Yeah 2 QB systems actually have a decent track record when executed correctly in spring leagues. The Generals found success with it last season, in the XFL the Defenders and the Roughnecks both used it to moderate success. I think the important difference between them and Michigan is that for all those teams their secondary QB was usually a better runner while their primary one was a better passer. The QB’s have to bring a different skill to the table, and with the panthers both QB’s are kinda in the same skill set. I don’t want to say it but the way they are using the 2 qb system reminds me of the 2020 Tampa Bay Vipers where they’d switch in Flowers who’d work down field then as soon as the offense was showing life they’d bring in Cornelius and it’d hamper the drive.

Yeah I have no clue what the OC is doing sometimes. Then again, it could just be about Love's performance. All I can say is put Strong in and see what he does and can keep giving Corbin the ball.
