Agreed, however one almost has to wonder why on earth are defenses playing the Panthers like that? They aren’t going to wow anyone with their passing game, no matter who is under center. They lack the weapons in the passing game to do so.Just got home from a workout, so I haven't watched the entire game, but from what I've seen, the Lions as well as other teams I've watched playing the Panthers, do not stack 8-9 defenders in the box like when CMAC was with them. Just saw Hubbard run through a whole my daughter could run through. The Lions had four on the line and the ends were super spread out and two LB's. I don't ever recall seeing a defense that spread apart when CMAC was in the backfield. Because the defense dared Mayfield to throw the ball, they could stack up the line and take away anything that CMAC could do.
So everyone —and I mean everyone- knows they are going to run the ball 2/3 or 3/4 of the time…
And yet they spread out and give huge lanes for the backs to run through…
