Canales talks exactly like narcissists talk because they can’t understand how their actions impact other people negatively. They’re describing what they should be feeling or thinking instead of saying it. if you’ve ever dated one you know exactly what I mean and it’s off putting if you’ve gone through it. im sure his apology to Izzy sounded like “I never thought you’d be so upset by me masturbating with Brad Idzik during a film session. Again. I thought we had moved past that. In the future, you need to make your displeasure more clear.”

I like Chuba as a person. However when we signed him to that extension I said it was a risk because he had his best statistical season while we have invested over the last 2 seasons what is now a league leading amount of money in the offensive line and it's only going to increase with us needing to sign our left tackle to an upcoming extension. We cannot afford all this. Our defense is already amongst one of the lowest invested groups in the league and we expect them to shoulder the burden. As far as Chuba over Rico let's just call it what it is. Our franchise making decisions based on what we've invested in a player instead of doing what's best for the team. We've already been doing this with Bryce Young and we again have one of the league's worst QB rooms. It cannot continue. How many blowout losses can we witness before things like this finally click? Either we begin operating like a serious franchise or we will look up and reach the milestone of being a cellar dweller for 10 consecutive years.

They need to be dug up and made into a fan handbook. I'm almost positive there is a gameday monolog for every team in the league. Man I miss old SCP. He was a poet and didn't know it.

Injury reports hasn't been released yet. Typically later afternoon

I wouldn't expect anyone to want Dalton over Young even before this past week.

followed by a fake smile head nod while blinking rapidly

HBD Andy. Just ignore that "pure ass" thread.

8 YPC vs 2.5 YPC. Doesn't matter if Chuba was a good player in the past for us or not. 8 YPC is sustaining drives and exhausting a defense. 500 yards of offense by a RB in 2 weeks hadn't been done by anyone in 14 years. You ride that hot hand regardless of feelings. It's not a slight to Chuba. Guys get hot and when they do, you let them burn. If it had been Chuba over Rico we would be saying the same thing. Let the guys playing the best football play.

Happy Birthday to Andy Dalton. A true sized QB everyone wanted. We rooted for you!! Being over 5'10 and being able to pass the ball 40 yards every play purely benefited our offense!!! You just need to look the part to be our chosen QB. Enjoy your day and hopefully you start this Sunday vs the Packers!!! Woot

that's the thing with canales, he's always weeks too late correcting the obvious

Yeah, people on here act like Chuba has always been a bum and that using two backs is insanity. The splitting drives with no exceptions or adjusting with situational awareness is questionable, but doing it a second game after seeing that it wasn't working is where DC lost everybody.

You might want to read what he posted. It was one big criticism.

It has nothing to do with that though. Chubba was a really good player for us. If they had kept it 70/30 rico, it was still something they would have to figure out in a few weeks to decide what the future was going to be for Rico. I don't think they planned on Rico outplaying Chubba so much when he got back. Especially considering the run defenses Rico had went against.

We had an opportunity to beat Buffalo if we had let Rico exhaust their defense at 8YPC instead of staying fresh at Chuba's 2.5YPC, giving them plenty of energy to plaster Dalton. Poor game planning and recognition by DC. Not saying we would have won, but we certainly could have negated some of the rest that bye week had provided. Our defense certainly looked gassed chasing Cook all over the field 10 yards at a time.

I thought they would try and hide Bryce this week and roll him back out agaisnt the Saints but with Dalton looking as bad as feared it might be the plan. Lose lose really.

Game respects game.

So Tepper is responsible for the good decisions now?

Tepper made a call id say. Same way he wasn't benching Bryce last year after week 2 then boom like he got a phone call

What the the odds they basically just take the script from the last 2 weeks and reverse it? That Rico just gets trotted out first and it's still just a committee. Because when Rico went wild the carries were 23 vs 4 and 30 vs 4. I do not believe Dave Canales is going to take essentially his offensive captain/leader in Hubbard and essentially bench him pending Rico isn't just gassed and asks to come out.

Behind the line of scrimmage?

All Matt Rhule had to do was have his wife cook up some meatballs and BAM generational wealth unlocked.

Bryce is practicing with the team today.

I appreciate trying to lighten the mood with humor. That's about all we've got left these days with this franchise. If Bryce plays in Green Bay it will be his 38th career game. Just for the sake of clarity and the fact that we are all getting worn down on the deliberating about what Bryce is or isn't or what he will or won't do. It's worth noting that Bryce is as of right now with what we should all be able to agree is a mixed bag at best body of work as a starter he is currently 5th in all time games played for a Panthers QB. It's time for the rubber to meet the road....... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/car/career-passing.htm

Really makes you wonder if it was planned lol. A fool could see Andy was done last year.

I mean, was I actually giving him credit?
