Tepper can’t even handle a sign outside a random restaurant, or a random opposing fan at an away game…….. I think it’s safe to say Tepper cares what others think.

Sure, but he went 0-6 and moved the ball not one yard when in position to win the game. He was bad when it was a game. When it want a game, he piled up check downs to Tommy Tremble.

I’ll be honest, sign me up for the present day version of Fox/Ron. I’ll take playoffs every other season-ish over what we are. Panthers haven’t been fun since then

Jim Caldwell was a decision maker in Morgan and Canales happening. It’s like we suddenly forgot all the Game of Thrones reporting and the fact a massive % of the Frank era never left the building.

Hunter cut was 100% about David Moore getting a spot. No one was going to snatch up Moore. Then AT bailed. Canales’ little lie has been exposed. He cut Hunter because he wasn’t in shape somehow out of leftfield …..yet Hunter automatically out there carrying a huge load the minute Theilen burned them. It was never about the best player making the roster. Canales wanted Moore to have the spot.

And our senior citizen O and D advisors? Canales was just overly impressed with the Game of Thrones poo show he just had to have them too? nothing has ever smelled right about the transition. It really just feels like the Frank era to the Dave era was largely a glorified OC change and little else

People tell lies in front of a microphone. Especially coaches, front office folks and players. so it’s a coincidence Dave also wanted Evero? And Dave also wanted Dom Capers with him? and Caldwell sniffing around the O….again? That’s a HUGE coincidence

Do they in Carolina? I don’t think Frank nor Dave had complete say in their staffs. or…is it just a coincidence dinosaur Frank and young Canales both wanted Evero. And they both wanted the same senior citizen advisors, etc. I still want to know why all the Frank era people are still here and why the fug did they get to advise who things played out after Frank and still here.

Intended gameplan? I do think it’s safe to say they want the ball to go him. He was clearly the primary on some of those last possession throws

that booing home ground has proven to get folks at BoA in the Tepper era tinkering around. Everyone isn’t a diehard crazy. Tepper still needs casuals in their seats enjoying a good time as well. He also doesn’t like folks talking about the booing crowd around the nation. Or even in his backyard. Tepper is definitely aware of his things are viewed. plus, unless you plan to get rid of everyone….you sort of have to mitigate how bad it gets. Tinkering and change is at least trying in Tepper’s eyes IMO. It’s why there is so much constant change with both his pro teams.

He plays small. I mean there is nothing bad XL does. He just doesn’t get open and isn’t a 50/50 guy…so it’s all just bad or contested passes. I think if you give TMac the same routes it plays out slightly different because of how he handles the routes

Schedule matters. Home crowd. Let’s hypothetically say Bryce remains the same as the last 2 weeks (garbage time excluded) after Atlanta we go back on the road. So I really don’t see the org benching him when they head back out and vs a weaker team again. after that I think is the real window. Panthers comeback home and if they lose to Miami? The crowd could get really worked up and they got Dallas coming into BOA the next week That Dallas game is the one I think they would be really worried about the optics. If Bryce is still relatively bad and they lose to Miami I think he gets a break for Dallas. Crowd could get too out of whack. 60% Dallas fans and then the small amount of Panther fans being upset creates bad PR/TV * I largely want him to just play but I could see a little mix up at QB and going back to him

lol. Just had to check. Megatron wasn’t even the 3 peat of first round WRs. That came after they finally moved on from Harrington. Megatron was the 4th WR in 5 years Talk about insanity.

Harrington is a nice example. We already have matched the 2 first round WRs. Bryce stans would probably want us to make it 3 in a row like the Lions and give Bryce one more shot like Harrington. I sort of forgot about how nuts the Lions went there

Brees went 8-8 as a starter year 1. THAT alone kills Brees from the convo. Because that’s not being horrible for a the stretch Bryce has been. Thats a solid first year as a starter. and that makes his sophomore slump season bearable because you have already seen solid play (which Bryce doesn’t have) year 3 he wins 11 games. Brees represents a very normal pattern. Solid first year. Sophomore slump. Breakout.

Brees went 8-8 his first year as starter. Holy cherry pick lol.

1. He is too small. Have you not seen the fact the ball has been flying out of his hands the past 2 Sundays? You know we can't really QB sneak in Carolina right? I mean is he maybe a little tougher than some might think? Sure. But that doesn't mean he isn't too small. 2. He can't make all the throws and many of his throws just flat out stink. His vertical and sideline throws generally stink. See week 1. I can't say see week 2 because he didn't attempt any. You doing a whole lot of ignoring week 1 and letting one okay ball to a LOT of talking. Essentially every ball minus one that went downfield stunk. 3. now you are getting into that 2024 PFF deep ball nonsense and I'm not doing anymore of that.

and let's just all agree Canales is good looking/talking Matt Rhule. actually you know what, Matt Rhule would at least give some folks a light trashing

oh, he 100% is useless as a WR. It's why I have been calling him Shenault. But Dave isn't creative enough in his scheme to really work anything to let an athlete be an athlete. When Coker is back he should take his job. And until then, the #87 should be taking his reps. If Dave is giving #87 some of XL's reps off Sunday alone, just quit pretending to be coach.

I'm a little torn on how bad he was or wasn't Sunday. His stat line was horrific. Biggest issue, is XL can't really get himself open. And when he does get the 50/50 shot he doesn't rally play to his size and doesn't win. But nothing actually horrific. and Dave's attempts to scheme him a play where whack.

No decrease in snaps coming. Canales said Leggette played better.....(while making history in a bad way Sunday) per Sheena

Baker Mayfield was the leading rusher when they played Atlanta and they limited him to 167 pass yards.

is it hard to imagine? We would be 3 games in to 2025 2024 - 2 games in 2023 - 2 games in IMO but some would say 6 2022 - 5 games in change has been coming early of late in Panther land.

true, bringing in functional competition could be out there too. Whatever it would be, IMO will be 100% Tepper driven (not Dave or Morgan)
