This!
To repeat myself, I watched the Panthers run their whole offense through Cam Newton with Mike Shula as OC using him as a “ get out of jail free” card. This was due to a lack of O line investment, sub par receivers and OC inability to coach/out coach others.
Am getting a serious sense of deja vu.
Mahomes has benefited from superior coaching and skill players, in spades, over Josh. It truly is an apple to oranges comparison.
I’ve enjoyed the heck out of watching the rise of this team over the last five years….. until the end of this season.
To argue that they haven’t regressed a bit is questionable. The reasons for the regression are not all to be planned for ( JA elbow injury)
However, his injury was foreseeable with the amount of overuse and O line woes.
This has become the beginning of the make or break period for this coaching and front office staff.
We will either hoist a Lombardi with Josh or squander the gift he is. If we squander him, it will be coaching/FO malfeasance as the cause…..not bad luck. Acknowledging this doesn’t make one a bad fan.
