I think Canales still has terrible situational awareness and playcalling can not fit the situation sometimes, but the much much much much bigger problem is Bryce Young. The two things aren’t even remotely close.

Yea at this point if the Panthers haven’t seen enough to not pick up his 5th year option and go draft another QB, this team is hopeless

Eh there’s been a marked change from the sentiment last year over there but still some bots pumping him up

If I was a player on that defense I’d hate Bryce Young at this point. Last two games out there getting turnovers, even scoring in this game and he can’t do sh*t.

This team is so fuging stupid

He doesn’t need to adjust, Stafford has one bad throw today but it lead to a pick 6

If the Panthers lose despite two picks and a pick 6 that’s exactly why every fan hates this team sometimes lol

That guy in the “how do we beat the Rams” saying the NFL needs the Rams to lose to increase parity to end the season might be right

I’ve been really impressed with Mike Jackson. He gets a ton of volume his way because they throw away from Horn and he’s always been solid aside from games he was hurt

Ok defense I see you.

Bad play call because he should know his QB is going to f*ck up 80% of the time

Yes but it doesn’t matter. Bryce has 5 bad throws for every good one

It’s a bad play call because if exactly what we saw. At least play action it so they have to play honest defense. Canales doesn’t know what he’s doing half the time

Play call shouldn’t be 5 wide on 3rd and 3 from the 27 anyway. Dumb playcall

Someone very dumb obviously

Passing on third and 3, idiots

The defense won’t stop a single play today. Secondary hurting bad without Horn or Moehrig

I think it would take a perfect storm of a number of things happening for the Panthers to win. Similar to the Packers game but even more so since the Rams are a better team than the Packers. Each thing happening alone would be very reasonable, but all of them happening in the same game is nearly impossible. 1 - The Rams come out flat and unprepared having to travel across the country after a holiday week allowing the Panthers to build an early lead. 2 - Weather impacts the game, lowering the scoring 3 - The Panthers play a complete game in all three phases. 4 - Backups overachieve in place of injured/suspended starters 5 - Matt Stafford does not finish the game and/or has his worst game of the season. 6 - The game is fairly officiated and not rigged To me at least 4 out of the 6 of these things need to happen for the Panthers to even have a chance to win. Otherwise it will be a game that is over by halftime, which I fully expect. Similar to the 49ers game where we saw the officials allowing the 49ers to openly get away with holding on the opening drive, we knew the game was never attainable from the first snap. The Rams might be getting a gift of a win even if they come out and play like dogshit. But we will see, that’s why they play the game.

I mean a 10 year old playing madden would be a better GM than Scott Fitterer. Worst GM in the history of the NFL.

But that’s the thing, I’m not saying he should be on the roster NOW, but you re-sign Dalton in the offseason and he’s at least around for training camp and preseason. Then you have Young and a rookie, and Dalton is there to mentor and compete for the backup spot. If the rookie shows enough promise you can cut Dalton before the season. If not, rookie gets mysteriously IRed after a preseason game and we’re in the same situation we are now. But at least they tried to improve the backup position. Neither spot had any competition since the infamous Baker vs Darnold battle.

Not saying he was the issue but it was never going to work with who was in charge of the Panthers at the time. The Scott Fitterer / Matt Rhule combo did irreparable damage to this franchise that might never be repaired

Baker did not want to be a Panther it was obvious from day 1

It’s generational. When you’re younger than the players you look up to them. When they’re your age you root for them as peers (in age at least) now almost all the players are younger than me and I look at them like kids. I don’t think I’ll ever have the same passion for the team I did years ago, but there’s different reasons for that. But the losing and blatant ineptitude doesn’t help at all.

Bringing back Dalton was fine but it never should have been the only option. Now we’re in a situation where if Young doesn’t play, they’re potentially putting a practice squad QB in the starting lineup. Should never happen.

I’m fully convinced, especially since sports betting apps became mainstream, the refs nudge the games. There are penalties on almost every play. They choose to call them or not. Who here thinks it’s a coincidence the 49ers first penalty of the game truly came in the third quarter on the Panthers extra point try? To conveniently keep the score difference to 8 points just past the -7.5 spread. I agree Panthers will cover. The game will be close for no apparent reason.
