  1. Get well soon! Keep Pounding
  2. I lost faith in Rhule in his first actual preseason....and it played out how I expected. All the signs were there. Bumbling fool who didn't know what he was doing. Clear as day. I lost faith in Frank in his first actual preseason.....and it played out how I expected. All the signs were there. Apathetic. You could tell their was no belief. I'll give Canales more time but right now the red flags IMO are going off already on him. But maybe there is something there we don't know yet. Like injury to Bryce or our starting OL. But if there isn't.....this is red flag.
  3. I'm just saying the collective board is fickle often has a bad memory of what the collective narrative is at various points. The collective board was overall very excited going into last season. It wasn't a small group. Think the start of preseason is where you started to see the hype slowly start to fade or be questioned. I was just pinpointing a specific window in time. I also was never it's an Bryce's fault guy. It wasn't. Not how bad we were. I think it would take a really unique place though for Bryce to thrive though.
  4. the board is fickle. Depends when you log on. Going into last season, this was the best roster around a QB since the 2003 season. All star coaching staff. Great talent around the QB. Then as we sucked, coaching staff were bums. Talent was the worst ever.
  5. Ideally, the new model would say the smart thing is to rest your starters in game 3. Best ensures a healthy start. Which is why you see the rest of league play their guys in games 1 and 2.
  6. I endorse it for this kid. you then go BS your coach about what you saw. I'm not saying just go throw into double coverage just because a vertical existed in the progression. But yeah, I'd be putting an emphasis on being aggressive and trying to get to the plays with bigger potential. It's basically just the polar opposite of playing it safe. You can play it safe and it be the wrong play too. Just nothing completions for the stat sheet. That's not going to help this kid.
  7. yeah, but if you got some real wiggle room there. It's not like you are calling your own plays and completely ignoring the coach. That would get you cut automatically. But you gave me the play. I ran it. X looked open. I didn't like how Y looked That happens all the time in football. It's an audition for him. A chance. Panthers have been forced into starting him tonight for some unknown reason. That's not his problem. Why shouldn't he take advantage of the opportunity. I want to be entertained by the play of Panthers. That's literally what this whole thing is. Entertainment. Nothing else. They provide little of that. So yeah, I would prefer entertainment tonight. I'll route for that. And Canales isn't going to entertain us with amazing play calling. That's a given. So big plays by nobodies is what I'll root for. That's there shot. It doesn't matter how well Plummer runs some bullshit play to a WR that isn't going to make the team that goes for 4 yards and they punt.
  8. all we got is what we got. and every O (no exception) he has been involved with on this level has featured it as a main component in the pass game. so again, that's all we got to go off on. well, and his very first investment being a WR that fits that style of play. and I don't think Canales champions himself as some offensive whiz. So I assume what he has been around his entire NFL career likely is what he is. Until proven otherwise. I'll gladly be wrong though. But anything else is just imagination IMO. Which I don't do with this team anymore.
  9. i've never been a fan of the HC/playcaller setup. And this is a SUPER green variation of that combo.
  10. No one said that though. That's different. I said he should quickly go to the routes in the progression to the ones with the biggest play potential.
  11. I mean, if he is operating within the playcall.....and making the plays? That's literally what he is supposed to do. But yeah, if he goes down in a blaze of glory he probably gets cut. But he has no future going 8-14 for 42 yards on bullshit throws in reality anyway. Too big of a long shot. I mean, promoting himself is basically what this opportunity is and should be for him. It's the NFL.
  12. frankly, I wouldn't even listen to the coach if I was Plummer about being safe. I'd be instantly moving to the route in the progression that offered the biggest play. I'd totally take the go big or go home approach. This fanbase is so starved for big plays....he would be an instant favorite.
  13. I watch the US women's soccer team pretty consistently whether it be World Cup or Olympics. Better than mens soccer. But outside of that, just give an old school Sportscenter run down of what occurred. Some cool moments like the Americans in the 1500m run the other day.
  14. Panther bot is evolving! Johnny 5 is alive! Panther bot already looking ahead to 2028. It isn't dumb after all.
  15. I'm not so sure OL would have change much outside of running the football easier. I'll say that. Not sure it drastically changes the pass game. WRs couldn't run last year. O calls were predictable. Bryce flat out has issues even in a good traditional pocket (that affords average protection time). I don't really think the rookies will impact much the first half of the season.
  16. Patrick Mahomes to Josh Allen to Caleb Williams....all the names you can watch this weekend play football. Sounds like the goal is about a quarter for most.
  17. we are still largely the same clown show. This isn't a rebuild. We basically changed offensive playcaller and scheme. Same owner, largely the same front office outside of a face swap, same QB, same O advisor, same D staff.
  18. I don’t know much about Plummer, just based on his highlight tape from last year he does look downfield though. downfield QBs are at least entertaining one way or the other
  19. Yeah, which doesn’t sound like a formula for much success. Seattle needed those YOLO plays and while old man Brees was successful he was a legit top 10 all time QB going into that neutered brand of football…..not just some hyped up super processors (which we while Bryce is smart isn’t actually that)
  20. every offense he has been involved with has relied on chunk pass plays downfield. Not just relied on them but more often than not tops of the league as well. That’s not a good pairing for Bryce now you could argue he suddenly do something different but to date he has never been around a successful O that didn’t rely on it. and his first major investment was a downfield jump ball WR so that leads me to believe that’s still his ideal brand of football. Hope I’m wrong and he is some grand wizard and invents something Bryce would thrive in….but I’m a need to see it guy at this point to believe it
  21. this picture sums up the pinnacle of the David Tepper era
  22. in all honesty, I just want him out there so that reality comes quicker rather than later. Bryce Young might of worked out in some ideal landing spot. He isn't going to work here. We have already seen that. And this is about to a real bad marriage of putting him into a Canales O.
  23. yeah, but I think it is still the big picture red flags of us remaining poorly run. In many ways. This is prime developmental time. Prime get ready time. And we spend our time doing mental gymnastics about why the Panthers not doing the obvious is okay. Meanwhile, they just confirmed Patrick Mahomes and KC are playing their starters for the opening quarter this weekend. I mean, that's what preseason is. Outside of hosting a team for a week that can skew it....the first 2 preseason games are what you use to get ready. That's the new model in the 3 game era. Not the 3rd game. There isn't a good coach in the NFL that is going to sit a bad 2nd year player in the preseason. That's just not the signs of a well functioning team. Not saying it's all Bryce. But it's a clear sign we aren't in a good spot today IMO.
