If they’re going to go after a 30 year old wide receiver it better be Mike Evans.

Would love to have him on our side for a change. 

Not as worried about W-L record next year as I am about seeing hope for the future, including seeing Canales get the best out of #9 and our offense as a whole. 

Not many on the roster, at least not last year. We had many more players playing like dawgs under Wilkes. Perhaps a coach who connects with players and motivates can bring that out in them. 

Free agents and draft picks are the best way to build the WR corps. We don’t need to trade draft picks unless it’s a great deal for us. A trade involving Burns might be something to consider if it gets a top shelf WR. 

Yeah, he will get at least 2 full years and likely into year 3. Nothing in the NFL is a guarantee beyond that without notable improvement.

I’m sure he owned up after he got caught. That’s how this plays out 99.9% of the time. That’s not leadership 

Leadership is absolutely picking yourself up after failure and correcting mistakes. Leadership is also being willing to admit failure and teach others how to learn from your mistakes. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to do that. 

Yep - everyone makes mistakes. He made some big ones, but owned up to them and put out a book that has helped a lot of marriages. Excellent leadership!

I got all fired up at first, and then I realized I did the same for Reich and Rhule. Let’s see it on the field on sundays this time please. 

It’s ok to be be fired up, Lobo. I do think Canales will be successful. The question is, “how long will it take?”

Nope and I have nothing to do with his show or their station. It's just short content which I think is better than posts whining about Young.

I absolutely enjoy this show. It’s better than anything in the Charlotte market. Thank you for posting these. I actually called in to the show the day the hire was announced. 

If we can get that deal, do it as soon as possible.

In 2022, new Panthers coach Dave Canales and his wife published revealing book on their marriage

So Florio thinks Canales would not have been as open if he knew he would soon be a head coach. I doubt that, but only Dave knows the answer to that. Either way, I think it was a brave move and one that will help a lot of marriages. 

If Canales wants to keep him, he stays. He is under contract. Now, if a team wants a trade, we can discuss that. 

Yeah, a lot of the same players almost made the playoffs the year prior. The offensive coaching staff was horrendous.

The #2 OC with the worst offense. Makes sense.

You don’t need to “confirm” what Ian Rappaport or Adam Shefter report BTW. Kind of makes you look silly. 

Weird if you ask me. If the Lions revert back to...well, being the Lions, he may never get another shot. I respect his decision, but this could be one he regrets.

I am not sure what moves the Panthers are going to make to improve the team but keeping Evero on as DC should be one of their plans 

As long as Canales wants to keep him, I agree. 

If Canales wants him, he stays. He is under contract. Force his way out? How, by throwing a temper tantrum? He is well payed and his defense has played well considering the injuries and a sucky offense. I don't think this will be an issue once he and Canales sit down and talk (if they haven't already).

He just had a myriad of soft tissue injuries for 2 years that have suddenly cleared up now he's a 49er.

Yep - my wife last night said, “He’s still playing?” Amazing how healthy he has been since he left. At the time we traded him, we weren’t getting a 1. He couldn’t stay on the field.

I remember that post but seems doubtful now they would go for that.  Burns wanting a mint

Good memory

Jameson Williams is gonna be a player…great game today

I wanted to trade Burns for Williams and a draft pick. He is going to be good. Had some drops, but dude has some bigtime potential. 

Nah - you can have Ben Johnson 

Det WRs are in their own heads

Too cute there. Kick the FG and offset the one you just gave up. SF has the momentum now.
