Defensively? Far better

I love how lack of effort can be confused with being upset that your qb just can't get you the damn ball. You see it all the time with receivers. You are just doing gasses down the field every play for nothing.

Thank you. And I agree!!!

The Saints keep trying to replace Spencer Rattler, if they do that this offseason in the draft, I would be trading for him immediately. Guy has an NFL arm and continuing to develop. Has flashed these first two games this year.

Im talking about the now. If you're Canales and Morgan you might not have until next April.

Lol That is Bryce. He is ‘super’ excited to play with his ’ super’ talented ‘luxury’ WR Bryce is a ‘super’ kinda guy

I saw that, that wasn't XL's fault for sure. My comment was about his college tape though, he does not run north south at all in these types of plays.

Atlanta is worse than both. Jacksonville and Arizona are both in position to make a run for their divisions this year. You really consider Raheem Morris and Michael Penix a greater threat?

I wouldn't waste a late round pick on a 3rd string QB. You can just use that late round pick to get one.

TMac and Sanders are the only two of our receivers in the middlish of the pack(1.0 and 0.6/R) for Expected YAC/R above actual YAC/R. Hilariously, XL is 2nd to last in the NFL at -3. Only Diggs is lower at -6.

They won’t. See nick scott, Rozeboom, Jones, Wonnum etc

I mean they’d ideally like to use that to take deep shots or open up second level throws but oops

I'm with the original person who posted and am hopelessly optimistic about this weekend and that we will see the Panthers first win of the season.

Well, Bryce is a HS QB so seems fitting.

It’s play action stretch mesh it’s a highschool offense

fug it , I'm in. Sign her. Which one you ask?

"You know who I like........ "

we are in total agreement. I'm just kicking up rocks trying to figure out how you potentially could just suck less next week lol.

The only potential immediate solution I can see is trying to trade a late round pick for someone's backup QB that actually has NFL tools. NFL defenses have thoroughly figured out how to take away the things Bryce actually does well. If I'm an opposing HC I'm telling my DC to do NOT let up and go soft unless we're up big late in the 4th. Start focusing on containment with the pass rush and playing soft zone behind it and you're just giving Bryce a life line. You're giving him all the stuff he actually does well while focusing on taking away the stuff he struggles with. Just keep the pressure on and stick to the game plan, we're not playing a typical NFL QB that might make you pay by burning you deep while you're being aggressive.

Hell yea! Keep Pounding!!!

I believe after this Sunday.....my wife will once again, realize the Panthers stink......and therefore she will not let me get away with watching Sunday football if she has better "plans" for us. my Saturday afternoons are also now in jeopardy as well but there is still some hope there.

To me it looks like the coach can’t call what he wants to call because the QB can’t physically do it and now coach is having to call plays in an unfamiliar way. Its like setting your gps to “avoid highways” and now your in the middle of nowhere and you have no signal. All you can do is drive around and hope it works out. (PS: Not a Canales endorsement he could just be bad too)

I’m just not seeing it. Falcons are better than the previous two teams we faced and the Panthers unlike most teams do not really play better at home than on the road

I don’t know about this one. Looking at his touches in week 2, there are still 3 plays I can find where he had an easy 2-3 yards upfield and somehow turned it to a race to the sideline for no gain or negative yardage. He was putting us in 2nd and 11 vs 2nd and 7. It doesn’t seem like much, but an NFL WR has to know to get upfield. You will break one eventually.

Despite what reports say, I still think Tepper is influencing football decisions. We certainly heard about this during the Reich short era...ie - the Monday morning meetings. There are too many consistent inconsistencies still going on to not think he is still too much involved. New coaches, new GMs....same results. The offense looks the same under Canales as it did under Rhule, Brown and Reich. The only time the offense has looked different was when Wilkes moved to a power run game for 6-7 games. But it was clear Wilkes would not have wanted BY....probably a big reason why he was not retained. The defense was actually better under Snow but he had better players and it was not a great defense. But the defense has gotten much worse as they lost key players (Luvu, Chinn, Burns & etc) but did not replace them with even average talent. The defense was never really strong since the 3-4 defense was pushed on Rivera by Tepper. I think Tepper pushed for BY too. Now Canales is stuck with a QB that does not fit his system. The last 7-years of Panthers football can be traced back to when Tepper bought the team.
