Carolina Panthers: Joe Brady committed to innovation, personnel
Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady excited to develop new system.
The Carolina Panthers offseason has been riddled with change. Although expected after owner David Tepper relieved long-time coach Ron Rivera of his duties with four regular season games to play, a few unexpected surprises have already unfolded and the new league year is still over a month away.
Hiring a coach from the collegiate ranks preceded linebacker Luke Kuechly shockingly announcing early retirement. Rivera landed in Washington and took some of the former staff with him, in addition to the uncertain future of franchise quarterback Cam Newton.
Tepper made waves hiring Matt Rhule from Baylor and now LSU passing game coordinator Joe Brady is taking the reigns for his offense. At 30 years old, Brady becomes the youngest offensive play caller in the league but his ideas and commitment to innovation had to be appealing for both Rhule and Tepper.
According to Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer, Brady offered the following comments about his offensive philosophy during an introductory press conference.

"“Our system is going to be what our players do best. I think that’s going to be year to year. I think that’s going to be based upon what you have. It’s all about a vision you have for your players. Each person on the roster on your offense, you should have a vision for and they all have to play a role. When you can find guys that fit the vision and understand their role, that’s when you have success.”"
Building around the offensive personnel, Brady’s commitment to orchestrating a scheme based on the players available should be fun to watch. However, with quarterback a question mark and an offensive line in need of improvement, exactly what to anticipate from the Panthers offense in 2020 remains to be seen.
Running back Christian McCaffrey returns after a record breaking season along with a young core of dynamic receivers in D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel. Brady wouldn’t commit to a Newton return but considering he was coaching in the College Football Playoff National Championship less than a week ago, it’s unlikely he’s been able to even consider any such possibilities.
Next. Rebuild Becoming Reality. dark
With the new league year not beginning until March 18, Brady and the Panthers have plenty of time for these player evaluations and decisions on the future of the franchise.
