By this time next year, most believe Joe Brady will have his shot to be a head coach at some level. So, what’s the difference between this year and next year? Experience.

The Carolina Panthers wunderkind is destined to be the next Sean McVay with his high-tempo offensive designed plays, but he’s not there yet. He has one year of NFL experience as a coordinator and two all-time if you include LSU. McVay was calling the offensive plays in Washington for two seasons before the Rams gave him a chance.

The 31-year-old could at least be getting some interviews for a test run next season. Teddy Bridgewater is limited as a passer and the team was without their best weapon in Christian McCaffrey for most of the season. Yet somehow, Carolina managed to have two 1,000-yard receivers with Brady making the calls.

The Chargers have the receivers and weapons to run a similar concept that worked in the Queen City. They also have better options at near every position and a slowly improving offensive line. Brady would be a risky hire but wasn’t McVay?

Do you think the other team in Los Angeles is complaining after taking a chance?
