If you are just tuning in, the big announcement is that Frank Reich has informed the team that he is ceding play-calling responsibilities to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. I did not realize this. Most offensive coaches in the NFL, if you are an offensive-minded head coach, most of them call their own plays. Sure.
Right? It used to be, even if you were an offensive-minded head coach, a lot of times you would let your offensive coordinator call those plays. But almost all of them call their own plays. And okay, that's fine.
If that's your expertise, that's your expertise. I changed the poll question, though. What is the Panthers' biggest problem? And I gave you four options. Bryce Young, the defense, offensive line, Frank Reich.
I have a fifth. Well, we know the real answer is David Tepper, right? But in terms of the options given, it's Frank Reich.
Yeah. And here's, I said this before, my jury's in. I've already decided that if I were in charge, if I were David Tepper and I had $13 billion, I would scratch the check for the balance on Frank Reich's contract. Now, it's not that Frank Reich is a bad coach because I don't believe he is a bad coach. I believe he is okay. But that's what I believe him to be. Well, and apparently doesn't have a big enough backbone to, like, make decisions over David Tepper. Like, if Tepper is telling him, hey, we should do this, but you're the coach and you know we should be doing B instead of A, he should maybe say something. Right. Well, I think Scott Fitterer probably, too. Now, there's no way you would look at this past quarterback draft and say this is the quarterback draft to trade from nine to one, not with Caleb Williams and Drake May and maybe others, and maybe others staring you in the face in the next draft, knowing how many pieces you need to add on the offensive side of the ball, thinking that, you know, oh, gosh, we'll just find receivers laying around in the street.
No big deal. Literally, they have one receiver worth anything. No offense to D.J. Chark or Terrace Marshall or Jonathan Mingo might be a squad receiver at some point. Adam Thielen's excellent still for his role, essentially acting as a tight end for them. But there's a reason why Bryce Young's, like all of his good completions, basically come to Adam Thielen.
Nobody else is even a thought. I'll make this prediction now. Adam Thielen will catch more passes unless he is hurt the rest of the season than everybody listed as a wide receiver or a tight end. And I'm going to remove Leviska Chanel from the list because to me, he's a running back. He's not really a wide receiver. He's a running back. So every other wide receiver and tight end on the roster will not combine for more receptions than Adam Thielen. So let me just explain why I believe Frank Reich.
This is the best explanation I can give you. So the Dolphins finally woke up, it's 21-14. It was 14-0 Panthers. You were you were moving the ball. You were really good. I think at least three, maybe four of your drives in the first half against a good team.
Dolphins have a good defense, not a great defense, but a good one. You are moving the ball. You're running the ball. You were you were moving the you were moving the ball, picking up, you know, first downs on third down. All of these things, the planets were aligned.
You were you were feeling it. And then reality. Inside two minutes, you get the ball. After a third down conversion, like third and 16, he converts to Thielen. Or maybe it was third and 10, whatever. He converts to Thielen, a beautiful pass across the middle.
And then he hits Thielen again and again. It's now second and three. You're at the Miami 26. There's 53 seconds on the clock. You have all three of your timeouts.
The world is your oyster, Frank Reich. Clock runs tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Miami calls timeout. 17 seconds after that play ended. Miami calls timeout. OK, well, Miami's saving you the trouble. Second down and three from the 26 mindset. Miami scores about a million points a game. Right mindset. Just file that away for a second. They were the team that scored seven.
Right. So it's second and three from the 26 on second and three. Bryce looks like he's trying to throw a corner route. I really think he was throwing it away because it was 15 yards away from a receiver out of bounds. He had no there was no chance to complete that pass.
I think he was throwing it away, which I don't mind. So now it's third and three. With so take two for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, you could show off your skin again.

A wide receiver screen to DJ shark that gained a yard. Yeah. So in my from in my opinion if you're going to throw that pass you're going for it on fourth down.
It would make sense. You're going for it on fourth down if you were going to do essentially it's a running play. Nope they let the clock wind down to two seconds and they kicked the field goal which of course they missed and I could not have been happier because that is the karma is a b-otch staring you in the face and what it told me then was that Frank Reich he's too cautious even when the entire when everything was aligned for you to show confidence in Bryce Young. So in a season that is already circling the drain with a quarterback who has just thrown three straight completions and is actually exuding confidence which is something we have not seen all year long nearly a minute on the clock nearly a minute on the clock fairly deep in Miami territory knowing full well you have no chance to beat the Miami Dolphins with threes you need sixes you are blatantly settling for three points that's what happened at the end of the first half. I want somebody to tell me I have misread that because your season is going nowhere even if you win the game you're going nowhere you don't even have you can't tank because you don't have your first round pick yeah so what are we doing the whole season needs to be building Bryce Young perfect opportunity hey kid go show me what you got if we screw it up we screw it up no big deal and that's what you do get out of here I have no use for that he is a mediocre head coach and that's not a terrible thing there have been mediocre head coaches before Ron Rivera is a mediocre head coach John Fox was a mediocre head coach who went to two Super Bowls he did right the difference between Frank Reich and Ron Rivera is that Ron Rivera had a dynamic personality to his players who loved him does Frank Reich exude that no so you're getting a lesser version yeah of Ron Rivera shouts to the Carolina Panthers for somehow doing it again yeah at least Ron's got some wins on his new team sort of because now he's got that I'm done I'm I feel bad for Panthers fans again I do not have an emotional attachment to this team that's a good thing right but I care for you who has an emotional attachment for this team right yeah I do and I care for two for other Panthers fans who have an emotional attachment to this team and you're getting screwed yeah they they deserve better you deserve better and that's my position right I love it I stand by I'm I'm I'm team I'm team you well at least somebody is because Frank's not so
