If you have, you would see how his offense has regressed from year 1 to year 2; how third down conversion rate and halftime adjustments have been non existent or anemic; and while his unit has hovered near the bottom on most offensive categories, the defense has made tremendous strides from last year to this year - in spite of being on the field more as a result of the offensive struggles.

Living in the past can be intoxicating, but also a fools errand. The support was there for Brady to succeed in Carolina, he just wasn’t ready.

We finally have a head coach who has an established identity on offense, defense, and special teams. He will hire to fit that identity, not look to relive a past that he was not a part of.

Has anyone actually watched a Sean Payton coached offense the past couple years?

If you have, you would see how his offense has regressed from year 1 to year 2, & then again from the first 7 games to the last 5 games.

You can only do so much if you don't have quality personnel to put out on the field.

For the record I'm undecided on Brady as I think some give him too much credit for 2019 & others assign too much blame for Carolina these past couple years.

Well, pretty damn good, since he called third downs and red zone plays and they were in the top 3 in the nation in efficiency in both categories.

This year, at least 3 teams have said that the routes were so predictable on offense that their DB's ran the routes for the WR's and got ints (if you watched, it was very clear, the DB's jumped the routes).

This is a great point. In 2019 they ran many of the plays over and over just had better athletes and players.

In the nfl you can't do that. Brady isn't a finished project and needs to learn how to be a better oc.

As quoted above, Brady was absolute money with a ton of talent and an experienced OC. When it was all on him, he could not do the small things that keeps a D on its heels.

Another great point. People underestimate how much it helps to have 2 guys in the booth.

While ensminger was calling 2nd down brady could be ready with the 3rd down play.
