this is the right answer. he might not be around but we have to wait and see if we have a team worth making win now moves. Trade deadline is pushed back to week 9 this year so it gives us half a season to judge.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume Walker is out. So, I'll go Niki.

I wouldn't be mad if we were losing by 1 or 2 and the games were hard hitting tightly contested games. I'd be frustrated and upset about losing,but I wouldn't be mad. Right now I'm pissed, Rod's decision making, his system of play, the consistent bad results in the conference finals. Then the team comes out at home and gets plastered 10-2 in the first two games... Yeah I'm mad at the results on the ice

Man it’s not even about losing to the Panthers again, it’s how they are losing that makes me think a coaching change is needed. Florida is physical, got into the player’s heads, and it’s the coach’s job to get his players ready to play. Brindamour has failed miserably in the Conference Championship 3 times now. The Hurricanes look like they don’t even belong in the playoffs let alone in the conference championship game. If these games were close like in 2023 we’d be frustrated but not embarrassed and that’s the difference in a coach keeping or losing their job.

I got down voted to hell and came back from it up some. Think Reddit Canes started to see the light today. lmfao

At least Rivera got the Super Bowl, and then lost is because he refused to adjust. Rod’s likely will never get to the Stanley Cup unless the team he coaches is stacked and can overcome Rods weird decisions making.

Reddit has one of the most toxically positive fan base. You cannot criticize the team at all. If you do downvoted.

We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.

I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera.

Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me. You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.

Right now the lines I posted are accurate. Chatfield and Walker are both game time decisions. Nikishin is a healthy scratch as of right now.

I was told to pick a new team because the Canes don't need armchair coaches or fans that boo. I've lived in Illinois, Michigan and Texas along with NC and SC. So what team should I pick to watch? lmfao

I'm less concerned about Young getting hurt while rushing, because like you said, he doesn't take a ton of risks when he scrambles. I'm far more concerned that at his size, a crushing sack by a big DL might snap his body in half. But this topic is exactly why I'm not very high on Jayden Daniels long term outlook unless he drastically changes the way he plays. He basically looked like RG3 pt 2 out there last year, he runs with reckless abandon and doesn't protect himself from hits very well. If he keeps that up, he won't have a long career and/or he's going to miss significant chunks of time every season due to picking up injuries.

I think the "Top 10" classification is much more simple than people think, at least for me. Put every QB in the league into a re-draft of only QB's, does this player go in the Top 10 of that draft or not? If they do, they're a Top 10 QB, if they don't, they're not. And yes, things like age/contract would matter in a real QB draft, but in this instance things like that or future injury concern are thrown aside, essentially looking at it on a year to year type of thing as you're talking about a current Top 10 list.

Probably so but don't know if it's Smith or Nikishin getting the bump to a pairing though. They both skated on the fourth pair.

And we all know Cam also struggled as a passer at times, but he MORE than made up for it with what he brought to the running game. In one of my posts I also mentioned how if he was putting up Lamar like 75+ yards rushing on a weekly basis that it changes how to view the lower passing yardages. Cam might not have been averaging 75 yards a game, but he had more than a good amount of rushing yards and also holds the record for most rushing TDs by a QB in NFL history.

Im guessing walker will be out

Rod reminds me of a guy who will find a way of beating a video game and the minute he encounters something that makes him adjust he can’t do it. Also reminds me of Ron Rivera. Doesn’t matter if it isn’t working right now it will work eventually. I have come to the conclusion that Rod just is not a good strategist.

Not only play him but he's on PP2 line for tonight as well.

7-0 loss his dumbass is gonna play marrow

Well nikishin will get in if he doesnt so there's that

Team giving up in real time.
