I think Canales just earned himself a friggin bonus. Tepper has to feel vindicated in some way. Canales has some brownie points after this win. Now Morgan is gonna have to figure out how to extend Johnson before the end of the season. Can't let him walk after yesterday. Dude looked like a building piece. A core player even.

Yeah, I watched the ALL-22 games last year and the offense was absolute trash. The schemes were slow and predictable, the oline was just waiting to get someone hurt, and the receivers were inconsistent. That wasn't fair to Bryce. And there's no way Andy would have been able to last the season. He took some vicious hits at Seattle. This season though... You could see from the Saints game that guys were open often. Guys weren't dropping passes. And most importantly the oline was legit. Bryce didn't take advantage of the improvements. I did feel like Canales and Evero were severely outcoached in that game, but opportunities were there. But the Chargers game... The Panthers were the better team IMHO, but Bryce looked shell shocked. He did everything wrong. He looked like he didn't belong. He was getting worse. He had to be pulled.

And playcaller

This oline is dominant! Oh shiite!

I love Chuba but he isn't a homerun hitter. He's a reliable bell cow back. If Brooks has the same juice he had in college, he's gonna feast behind this oline. Big runs are there to be had.

This fuggin oline is legit y'all

Hopefully Bryce is eating this up. He needs to sit and learn now. This is a great opportunity for him. He should be taking advantage of it!

This is a really good oline!

This team is built to run the ball. 5 road graders on the oline and a straight ahead running back in Chuba. Can't wait til Brooks is inserted.

Maybe Evero would have. They probably should have tried to transition Luvu though. Rhule's staff definitely wouldn't have.

Right, but would the Panthers have allowed him to become a pass rushing, hand in the dirt LB?

I guess no one saw Navy beat Memphis. No respect.

Starting at 4:05 today.

Fields is balling

I think they gave up 2 sacks against the Chargers with Mack and Bosa! And both of those were 100% on the QB.

You're right. He needs to play, but right now he needs to take a step back and find his game. Bro is shell shocked and just playing horrible football. Or maybe he's pressing. Maybe he's trying too hard to get the ball to certain receivers- Johnson, when other guys are wide open. It was just weird- even for him. Marching him out there every Sunday like this ain't helping at all.

He got worse even though everything got better around him. Not saying the situation is perfect now by any means, but it's better. A lot closer to NFL average. Actually, I would say the pass pro has been above league average.

Yeah, but dude has regressed in 2 games this season. These are throws he's made before - in the NFL. These are reads he's made before - in the NFL. Something ain't right with him. And it isn't physical. It's mental. He has much better protection, much better receivers and a much better scheme. He should be playing better. But then again, do you want a mentally weak guy on your team - at QB? Maybe I've convinced myself...

Personally don't think it's a good idea to trade the #1 pick in the draft after 18 games. That's too early to completely give up on him.

I agree. I think sitting him was the best move for him and the team. Maybe watching for awhile will help him connect the dots and calm the yips. He just isn't seeing the field right now. Crazy.

I think it's very possible Bryce doesn't play again this season. The oline did a pretty good job against Mack and Bosa in pass pro. If they can protect Dalton and not subject him to a lot of pressure and hits, then he may make it through while playing well. Based on the Seattle game last season, he's still got something left in the tank. The running game will likely be the team's calling card anyway with a likely push coming from Brooks in a couple of weeks. He and Chuba could carry the team. We'll see.

Definitely don't want to reach for a QB in this draft - only if there is a consensus #1 pick at QB. But, I do feel like this team is lot more rookie ready than last season because of the oline. Hopefully we'll see where they are regarding WR and RB by the end of the season.

The offense usually goes as the oline goes. This oline is legit as pass and run blockers. They are blowing guys off the ball in the run game, and forming a pretty consistent pocket for the QB. An experienced guy like Andy that doesn't give a "freak" about putting it up there just might eat in this situation. I don't think we know what we have in WRs right now. But if they're at least average, this offense could be a problem. Not "playoffs" problem, but more "in the game with anyone" problem.

A lot on here wanted to give Spencer a shot. He may have made sense in hindsight.

No doubt those boos at home didn't hurt either. I really think some key players spoke up too. It had to be done.
