I guess he is a guy who was okay calling the heave it up for grabs strategy, where Wilson’s ducks flew high and free in the fall afternoon air. If XL stays, that could be a way to use him with this QB. Or the other guys could do the same…. but just for me, that is how I expected them to use XL when he was drafted.

Not this poo again

I don’t know how you know, it could be both Canales and Morgan. But it speaks well of Dan I think, I smell some awareness that there is an issue around Canales’ wearing all these hats. Unless Canales went to him and did the mea culpa, I would think Dan had a candid discussion with Dave and Dave, to his credit, saw the issue too. Was it, “hey Bevell is out there on the vine right now for the taking, can he help us?”, or was it “we both agree we need help in this department, who could we get?”?

What’s that saying? Wish in one hand and spit in another, see which one fills up faster? I bet there are a lot of us that wish we would seriously look at that option. And others But when you get into 50mil contract talk that dims my enthusiasm for that particular one. That would be taking a real expensive shot in the dark.

Yes I was. And I have clearly said I expect them to be tough on him. I couldn’t remember the exempt list, they put Hardy on that for quite some time if I recall. Well yeah I have said the NFL was tougher than the legal system historically and I only offered it up as a possible argument his side could use. I can’t think of anything else they could try. (I wasn’t advocating for him). Heck I said way back this is worse than what Hardy did, not defending Hardy this is just that poo on steroids.

Most of XL's problems stem from lack of concentration and, really, just a lack of ability to play the position at an NFL level. Please ignore T-Mac's OROY season and Coker's late-year breakout when making excuses for XL such as WAIL BRYCE DUNG THOWED IT TOO BAD AGINN LET'S GO HEELS.

I think part of it is the pieces but I also think having no player with as many as six sacks in a season since 2023 is also Evero's scheme.

Now if only we could get a defensive coach who's only job is to yell at Evero when he goes prevent for too long.

Seahawks guy, so Canales or Morgan.

Thielen I didn't mind so much because what he excels at doing is creating separation without top end speed and he was an elite route runner. I know coaches can coach to a point, but a player like AT knows the little nuances that can be passed on after practice or in game if a DB is doing something that can be exploited in game or help with somthing a younger WR isn't familiar with. They're a real time asset and that has a value as well as long as they're willing to share that knowledge.

He definitely did I laughed hard as hell if you know you know depends on your flavor I’d say.

Commissioner's exempt list were you not here for hardy?

Yawn

Kaye’s Take: Bevell is the logical voice to add because of his experience with QBs and Canales. They speak the same language, but Bevell has also explored other offenses and worked with a bunch of QBs. Even if he’s not the play-caller, he understands how to sequence play-calling and design plays — that can help Canales and Brad Idzik in their routine. Bryce Young wins here, too. Bevell has worked with shorter QBs and had a lot of success with them, particularly Russell Wilson https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2021617355596415340?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Like the hire or don't - I appreciate that this team isn't afraid to spend money on coaches. Tepper is an asset as an owner in that regard.

I don't know. The NFL makes up their own rules, particularly under the personal conduct policy. I wouldn't expect him to play much next season, even if he hasn't had his day in court.

I would hope we do.

Who's idea was it to bring this guy in? Inquiring minds want to know.

Darrell Bevell CARCoaching Staff Panthers hired former Dolphins quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell as the team’s associate head coach. Bevell will operate as the Panthers’ new offensive specialist, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Bevell, who was the pass game coordinator and QBs coach in Miami from 2022 to 2025, will reunite with Panthers head coach Dave Canales, the wide receivers coach for the Seahawks when Bevell was the team’s offensive coordinator. After bouncing around the league for the past 20 years, Bevell will look to maximize Bryce Young’s abilities in 2026 for a Carolina offense that last season ranked 26th in EPA per play and 18th in success rate.

And where were they drafted?

Been more than one example of that too. And the calls that went in for those last 4 plays… that happened once before last year too. I want to say one of those Saints games but it might have been early on with the comeback falling short vs Az. I could swear we have seen that before. You know, thinking about it, and where Canales is in his development, the best thing might be to get a proven guy upstairs and have him call the plays while Canales focuses of getting the other parts of his job working right and being more comfortable where some things become second nature. If we had a good couple of year run like that the OC could probably leave for a promotion and Canales might be in a better position to handle it. I am 50/50 on Canales, maybe 60/40. It seems to me that you lose something not seeing the field as well as you do from upstairs. And you can’t HC from upstairs.

Also, one argument Pearce’s side could make, don't know if would fly, is if the league suspends him before he has his day in court, they would be negatively impacting his ability to hire the best defense attorneys he could hire. (Loss of income) And that a suspension should only be implemented after a guilty verdict or plea. I don’t think that will work.

Knowing that many Panthers fans are confused to his role here, I wonder if he goes back to Stanford or WF in some capacity. Seems more his speed than the NFL.
