It will go one of two ways and depends who plays in the game. Canales gets his head out of his ass and starts Dowdle. Young manages to start. Cade Mays and Damien Lewis play. Running game gets going. Evero comes up with some scheme to slow down the Packers offense. The game is close but the Panthers lose an excruciating one at the end. They haven’t put together a good game against a good opponent yet so I’m going to wager this will be an epic massacre. 50+ to 10 After what we saw against the Bills I have little hope for option A and fully expect option B.

Even casual fans can see these issues but good to see some football voices discussing it too

I think Chuba felt pressured to return from injury maybe sooner than he wanted to make sure he didn’t lose his job

The fact they didn’t let Hooker get a drive or two in a blowout loss is about as dumb as it gets

I can’t imagine he plays another season, he probably retires after this year. He had the career benefit of playing with AJ Green otherwise Dalton probably doesn’t even last this long in the NFL.

I thought the same thing. You don’t come out and post two straight 200 yard games and then have your touches cut in half and take it laying down. Making the fans pissed off and the team vibes go downhill in the process. Canales has it be careful with this kind of sh*t because he doesn’t have the same kind of credit with the players Ron Rivera did sticking to his veterans, Canales has done nothing but lose in Carolina so far.

I swear I’ve seen the writing on the wall since Chuba come back that Dowdle is going to be traded. He is flat out a harder and faster runner than Hubbard and made the offense move better than Chuba, gained more yards per carry and willed the Panthers to victory with two massive performances. But for some inane reason, the coaching staff hasn’t let Dowdle continue his hot streak. There have been trade rumors and I feel like if the Panthers get a mid round pick in return the Panthers will take it. They drafted Etienne and Hubbard is on a big contract. It makes no sense, he’s looked better than any other Panthers player on the offense this year, but he’s not getting playing time with Hubbard back and it seems he’s being shopped for trade. This team is just infuriating sometimes and it’s no secret why every year they seem to struggle.

That was a long outage what happened? DNS failure?

They’re going to trade Rico I can feel it

This who the Panthers really are. Play a team with any semblance of competence and this is what happens. Blowout.

I’m only blaming Canales for messing up the pace of the game not running Rico consistently. Meanwhile Kirk Cousins is also just as bad

Sticking by this prediction

It’s possible, because he’s literally never played an NFL game

It doesn’t even matter, forcing Dalton to start is just the worst decision. He can’t play anymore

Dalton wow. He is individually responsible for this loss and should retire after this game. Can’t play anymore

The Joe Brady / Shaq Thompson revenge game. Not watching the rest of this garbage. Bye

Game over, cut Dalton

If they don’t just let Rico run the ball Canales should be ejected from the stadium

Shaping up to be 48-3

Dalton is done. How this team didn’t think to bring in a legit backup is insane

That’s not going to win games

Dowdle is the starter

It's so funny because I made a post saying how the Panthers needed to get back to their roots of being a run first team and playing good run defense after they started 0-2 and here they are running the ball well and playing good run defense. I'd like to take full credit for the team's turnaround.

Bet he suits up but as the emergency QB. Would be very irresponsible to start him after no practice and battling an ankle injury. See where he's at next week.

Darnold has an arm Bryce could never dream of having. Darnold also required a level of coaching that was not available to him during his time on the Panthers.
