XL is the player we are talking about. He has the speed to blow the top off a defense and he has to be accounted for. Notice how little effort they have to expend accounting for him versus Tet. Larry Fitzgerald was not fast. DeAndre Hopkins was not fast. Jerry Rice was not fast. Did that matter? Skill beats speed 95% of the time. Do yourself a favor and go combine to combine sorting 40 times and then look at career productivity. What quickly becomes evident is all those 40 time gold and silver medalists rarely make any NFL impact. Again, skill beats speed 95% of the time. Get SKILLED players.

We need juice I get you want someone with skills but if you don't have someone who can separate the skills get diminished a little. There is nobody on this offense that actually scares an opposing team not even Tet. Tet is very skilled but the lack of breakaway speed makes it easier to defend him. Tet and Coker make some great catches at times but how often do you see them make a great catch in space they created. They are usually always blanketed.

Is XL a fit as TE?

They have tried. He stinks at it. He is not elusive or quick at all. He is straight line fast. Not to mention he generally lacks instincts and vision as a runner.

No. Horn is much closer to and still capable of being the best CB in the NFL. Burns has unquestionably proved he is not that caliber of player. He is basically a Tier 2 pass rusher. The group behind the elite guys.

I don't want to back into the playoffs. If they can't take care of business, then stay home.

There is no reason to come and be a sacrifical lamb in a team with an offense not set up for success. So you can get fired to cover for a bad head coach and then have your reputation partially tarnished?

Canales is unquestionably doing a bad job. His in game management is the worst we have ever had during the Tepper era, possibly worst ever. His personnel management is also atrocious. It's been about 60% hindrance and 40% help.

They need to use him more like Deebo Samuel. XL can’t thrive in a traditional role and we’ve all seen this he needs to be more of a gadget guy.

Horn plays aggressively and it leads to game defining moments that propel the panthers to victories and also losses. I’ll take Horn but I’d like to see more game and situational awareness.

nah man I ain't here for a participation trophy. If we were a good team who has underachieved all year I might could accept it but we are a bad team who has honestly just had some serious luck this year. If we can't win it outright I don't want it. Call me a bad fan I don't care.

We have speed in the room. We need skill in the room. All our "fast" guys are super low on skill. Skill beats speed 95% of the time.

I'd rather win. What you should realize is that they were going to subject us to this, win or lose.

There are “win it that way” or “lose it that way” scenarios in many games throughout the season. I’ll take it if we would get into the postseason by this unlikely scenario.

I hated the pick when we made it. He just isn't a starting NFL WR. Physically he's what you would draw up but he just lacks the basic fundamentals at the position. I don't think he has any real trade value I suspect he will still be here next year. The only WR's that are locks to me though are Tet and Coker. I do think we need to inject some more speed into our WR room. Or at least someone twitchy who is an excellent route runner.

I think Falcons will beat the Saints but we have to finish with a winning record heading into the playoffs.

This. All of this. It is that simple.

I don't give a crap about the Falcons game if we can't take care of business Saturday I don't want to be in the playoffs.

Minimum 800 pass attempts by a QB is going to weed out the randos you are likely right about

Shough gets enough "big time throws" to eclipse Bryce "the cannon" Young's single season record.

That’s actually designed for the biggest meltdown possible around here. Full game day thread the next day

Yes the Panthers are my favorite team. Been following them since the Clemson football field days. I’m just fed up with this “inconsistency” day in and day out. Are we going to suck or are we going to be contenders? We all know they are not ready for prime time games. Look at this season. We all know Bryce is not the guy to lead us deep into a playoff run, since he folds like a wet noodle when under pressure. We have good rookies on or team that are going to be wasted with this inconsistency.

Panthers game is on Saturday afternoon at 4 and falcons play Sunday at 1:00 unless it got flexed

Oh i keep forgetting Sat. NVM

That was not a message to the team. All that stunt did was reinforce to the world what a low T soy boy our head coach is.
