We've seen everything Drury has to offer, he is who we thought he was last year....4th line grinder is his ceiling. If he'd play with a little more grit it would help offset his offensive limitations. Staal is still very valuable in the face off circle and age does catch up to everyone, but he's a pretty heavy guy at 6'4" 220lbs. He's hard to get off the puck and does work along the boards and has that wingspan on defense to really disrupt whoever he is put against. I think when he re-signed both him and the Canes expected this year and next.

Koochie needs a lot more NHL experience...gotta take some lumps and get adjusted to playing with the big team. Just my two cents (worth a penny these days).

Pay Brandon Beane to come back and take over as Team President/GM. Harbaugh is going to need a job at the end of the college season, bring him on down and let those two cook.

Hey @TheBigKat place a wager for me - I'll Venmo you the money.

That INT was on Bryce, but my stance still stands that every starting QB in the NFL would struggle as QB of the Panthers. Again, I am not going to seriously call Young a bust after 8 games with the team he has around him.

and just like that...I feel Bryce Young is a bust. Cannot make this poo up!

I understand where you are coming from - how can BY dickslap any defense with this team? I am as frustrated as everyone, but this isn't a good team and I think BY will be a good QB in the NFL. Only time and him playing with a solid team will either prove or disprove that.

Here's the thing about pushing the ball downfield: do we have the receivers who run good enough routes to allow Young to throw the ball about 2 seconds before he should? Because he isn't getting the time to throw those passes. Maybe roll him out more?? I am not sure.

Yes, that same Texans team with an offensive line. To be honest I was surprised we beat them...I don't know how. They are a better team in every way than the Panthers are. No way you are saying the Panthers have as much talent as the Texans on offense.

They didn't think Bryce could get the ball to him with that noodle arm.

Yes, this is logical. A football team's success is predicated on one person.

We can't prove that, but I would disagree with you. He would look much better with any other team than the Panthers right now, we have to tear it down and have someone who knows the NFL come in and rebuild while Tepper and Fam stay outta the way. (Which I don't know if it's possible, we might be stuck like this until Tepper dies)

It also has "My offensive line can't block and give me more than 3 seconds to throw the ball and it's been like this the whole season, let me try anything to do something here." A forced pass by a rookie, I have never seen one of these before.

Yeah, I mean I totally thought we wouldn't lose another game this season after we beat the Texans 15-13 last week. We went out and really solidified our TERRIBLE offensive line at the trade deadline, brought in legitimate NFL WRs at WR1 and WR2 and that pick up of our new stud TE really sealed the deal. Look, I am not one to think if someone eats a bag of skittles they are going to be farting rainbows out their ass later - but NOTHING changed with this team because of one win. That goes for the + positive crew and a lot of bent outta shape haters who are now piling on even harder than before the Panthers won their first game. The team's makeup isn't what it needs to be, it's devoid of talent and depth. The Panthers defense is banged up, but even a healthy D isn't going to make up for the lack of offense this year. Should people lose their jobs - possibly and probably so - Fitterer I think is gone, but none of the coaches can go out there and make tackles, run the ball, pass/run block. Fundamentally it is a poorly built team that needs a tear down and if the coaches can't adapt to the personnel to put out a better product than this then yeah they need to go to. Everyone calling Young a bust isn't looking at the team around him.

Burns relies solely on his God given talent, if he had any motivation to improve or study tape he would probably be the best Edge in the NFL. Instead he's an above average Edge.

they are terribad putrid

to be fair he had Aho coming in all alone on him.....I probably would have had multiple gaping holes. (That didn't sound right, but yeah....)

As well to you good sir!

0-3 to 4-3 LFG! #CANES

Chase Young went from being DROY to underperforming on a pretty talented Washington D-line, can't put my finger on why.... Anyways, if he can be motivated again and put in a position to succeed he would be a steal for a 3rd round pick.

"We like our team." /s

We aren't running the ball as much or effectively and DEs are teeing off on straight rushes to BY as fast as they can a la Brian Burns. Icky looked pretty decent last year because instead of always knowing he was going to be in pass protect like this year, there were times he could just go ahead and maul the DE in front of him in the run game. The offense doesn't fit Icky being at LT.....guard yes, tackle no.

I don't think Wilks is a bad coach, but he isn't a HC. He had the chance here right in front of him, he evoked pre Riverboat Rivera and punted the ball to Tom Brady from midfield in a must win game with a decimated secondary. He made the decision easy for NOT getting the HC job.

I don't like r/canes so I didn't even know someone said something over there. This is home for me! Too many fan girls over there!!
