Look, I like coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Joe Brady. This isn’t a hit piece. I believe in both of them and want them to succeed.
They are still new to the NFL. In their brief time in Carolina they’ve dealt with a pandemic, changed quarterbacks, attempted to sew together a patchwork offensive line, and have barely been able to use Christian McCaffrey. They’ve stepped into a rebuild, and that’s never easy. But...(and there’s always a “but”).
But...over the last eight games the Panthers offense has been terrible in the third quarter, producing just 17 total points over that stretch.
