Nowhere in the article does it discuss his ability to read a defense, go through his progressions, and successfully hit a receiver in obvious passing situations. This would go a long way in explaining his ineptitude on 2nd and 3rd and long. From the little game film I’ve seen on him, this definitely seems like the case. Granted, I haven’t seen a ton, as the watching the Panthers tends to bore me, but this should really be looked at in more depth. I just don’t think he’s that great of a natural quarterback, and aside from being a good athlete and being able to get the ball deep when the defense isn’t expecting it, he can’t seem to do much else.

Then I discovered that they rank 31st in pass attempts. But they also rank 25th in rush attempts. So they just don’t run many plays. They rank 13th in (highest) percentage of rushing plays.
