The defense is NOT legitimate. I think we have schemed well against some teams, but this team has real problems on defense. We are further behind on defense than offense in terms of competing, which sounds insane given our lack of offensive production, but its true. Get a QB that can complete intermediate and long passes routinely and the offense opens up, but it forces other teams to throw deep too, and we can't stop that poo. No pass rush, no backers that can cover tight ends, and only 1 corner (who got roasted yesterday).

Jesus Christ. Let me be more clear for you. This wouldn't be done in-season. And I never said we needed another runningback right now. BUT... He hasn't shown the consistency or skill needed to succeed at WR. So, if I were the Panthers or any other team that acquires him this offseason, I would try him to runningback to see if he shows ability there. WRs with his skill set and build have had some success making that transition, and he may be able to continue his NFL career there. Not tricky end around sweep poo from the slot, which he sucks at, but line him up in the backfield and let him take some legitimate handoffs.

Clausen was the worst passer this team has ever started and it is not even close. I thought Steve Smith was going to kill him on the field because Clausen kept throwing balls at his feet

Not even kidding, I would move him to running back like what was done with Cordarrelle Patterson and Ty Montgomery.

Everything this guy does is AI and you all just keep responding to him. Unreal.

It is.

Project on someone else. I never said anything about "his worth". Just commenting on a single play.

Citing various hero myths in response to being wrong is not empirical evidence that you have a point. It's weaponized arrogance. Act humbly.

I just saw this. The fact he leans over and sets the protection for Dowdle was a nice fake out. You could tell the edges held up instead of crashing down, trying to keep Bryce in the pocket, while the backers and secondary flowed to their coverages. The Packers loaded the box and if they thought it was a run, they easily could have stuffed it.

Ok... Slowing down on the run out of bounds, not getting rid of the ball when he saw and felt the rusher from his right and nearly losing a fumble (thank you Chuba), and then throwing a wobbly pick in the endzone. I mean 3 careless plays on the same drive. Wtf.

Derrick Brown Jaycee Horn Nic Scourton Tetairoa McMillian Princely Umanmielan Mitchell Evans Icky Ekwonu Ryan Fitzgerald I had 8 on my list, so yeah I pretty much agree. Everyone else, I am listening to offers.

Brees, Fitzgerald, Anderson, Kuechly, Woodson Those are my predictions for the next class.

Yeah and Pickens destroyed us. We were fortunate that Lamb was injured.

I mean... we haven't exactly faced competent offensive attacks yet, much less world-beaters. I expect Sunday to bring things into clearer view.

Imagine if we had taken CJ Henderson, Javon Kinlaw, or Isaiah Simmons over him like what was being talked about. Oof

You're starved for your boy T-Mac to catch 50 yard bombs. That's what this is really about.

No coach was ever fired for "winning ugly." But trying to be flashy or taking unnecessary risks in a game that was close down to the wire? What if this lead to losing the game? Not even because of mistakes or bad passes etc., but because of mismanaging the clock and field position because of the passing plays that were called in order to "develop the deep passing game"? Do you think Tepper would have given Canales a slap on the back and said "Hey, at least we should be better down the road, maybe. Good job, coach."? This is a team and fanbase starved for wins. Canales is delivering that. Nobody expects this team to win the Superbowl or even make the playoffs, he simply wants to instill confidence and a winning mentality into a group of men that need it. Once they learn how to win and start believing they can win and they ACTUALLY start winning, we can talk about other details. Winning changes a culture. The Panthers NEED a culture change. It doesn't matter right now how they get there.

That's quite literally his only job. Every year has new goals, new identities, etc. But the one constant is to win at all costs. He isn't guaranteed to be here next year UNLESS he wins. Why would he give a poo to mold a bunch of players someone else might be coaching?

This tracks. The secondary struggled yesterday. And maybe they struggled in coverage, but the linebackers made some plays.

That... Was a phenomenal pass.

I don't get that feeling. 2 min warning and 3 timeouts. No need to rush

Bullshit calls on our CBs and not having linebackers that can cover over the middle is killing us

Never underestimate the player that wants to stick it to his previous team. I think Dowdle has a big game again tomorrow.

It's the same look that Rhule and Reich had before they were fired. Tepper runs these guys into the ground before cutting them loose. He may be shitting the bed as a head coach, but I worry about the guy as a human being. He's an addict in recovery that seemingly found peace before working for this controlling asshole of an owner.

Yep that's what's going to do it. The Cleveland Browns' third string quarterback is the answer
