CRA

It’s says the want 2 impact players and draft picks. we literally only have 2 impact quality players on the entire roster

Dan Morgan has been part of the front office problems for going on a half decade at this point.

maybe I could of added some disclaimer about this era of football. But for me, that’s just a given. I mean, Terry Bradshaw for example was playing in a different time and game. In this modern passing era, if you are talking the worst QB rookie season….that’s a convo that involves Bryce Young. 100% he is in that discussion. Stupid take? Bruh, I got way wilder takes than Bryce Young’s horrific rookie season.

Joint practice reps are still 100% a different animal than live game reps. Apples and oranges. Carolina displays that year after year. I’m not underselling joint practice reps. They serve a purpose. And that is merely different humans to rep against. So it’s a different tests. But if your QB wears a red shirt. You make plays that don’t actually exist in real football because the pass rush isn’t real. Turnovers get wiped….and you just keep going. That’s not a game simulated environment nor tells you where your team is. It’s groundhogs day at this point. And when the Panthers look like dog poo….our coaches go to the only talking well they got….but we looked okay in joint practices. You are underselling real reps. Both matter. This mantra that looking dysfunctional with the but we got some nice practice reps in started with Rhule and has been oversold ever since here in Carolina. and we have weirdly and uniquely not repped our weak QBs enough going into seasons for some time. Which makes no sense. We treat our QBs like they are prime Peyton Manning and make excuses why they don’t need it. They need them. And we don’t need to be protecting weak QBs we need to be developing them and getting them ready for the opening weak half of this schedule (which is where you would find wins). 2nd year in a row, BY will not have a preseason completion vs a starting D. That once again makes the worst team in pro sports unique. Find a QB of his caliber where that exists?

Those joint practice reps are something completely different. And it’s proven to be such under Rhule, Frank and Canales. because your QB gets a red jersey. And he can throw a pick, get “sacked”, not move the chains and still log a “touchdown” in a joint practice series. That’s not a game situation, today was. people have been spinning the practice reps for years now at this point and they proven to just be a bunch of random practice reps. We heard Bryce was playing like a 7 year vet right exclusively in joint practices…..then put in the worst rookie season of all time it’s the whole fool me once thing. We are in a repetitive cycle until proven otherwise for me .

I recall saying it last preseason, but once again Dave Canales is sounding very Matt Rhule-ish again. his starters finish with -2 yards on the day. Done for the preseason. They were supposed to play 3 series…. but Canales said they didn’t “earn” more time. Bro, your team stinks right now. They earned an embarrassing amount of reps. They couldn’t do basics. What they earned was to stay on the field until they did something competent

I’d say 2 things 1. We have watched them and they look horrible. Starting O in preseason has literally negative yardage vs their starting counterparts and our depth has been embarrassed. That’s what we are rolling into the regular season as 2. We are not just the worst NFL team but also the worst team in all of pro sports under David Tepper What evidence is there of competency?

Tepper not actually parting with the entire Fitterer and Frank Reich debacle was always going to haunt us. And basically the same folks basically just made Canales the face of the new operation

Maybe the entire issue is……all the Fitterer era folks shouldn’t still be running the show. Which they are.

PJ Walker is the only QB with a winning record in the Tepper era. He might suck but at least he provides a level of fug it let fly football.

Roster is missing our Pickett, Trubisky, Fields, etc tier QB that should be backing Bryce Young up. They don’t have it….because they don’t want to deal with what it can bring

I choose not to post an overreaction. Just an observation of what we we all witnessed…

we are going to need to start a thread going forward that is properly labeled to talk about this team where the sunshine brigade knows to enter and their own risk.

Well BY didn’t complete a pass. Dalton completed 2. I could of completed 3 jet sweep touch passes and had the best day

Joe Person confirmed the preseason schedule previously set. you won’t see the starters again until week 1. Pending Canales doesn’t change what he said

NFL teams already have positioned their rosters with QB depth. The young talent already are occupying backups slots. You can find bad rookies or old men this time of year.

It’s roster malpractice. They don’t want any QB talent on the roster that would lead to fans making noise about them down the road

We are running 4 of the starting 5 on the OL. Which makes it basically a run of the mill normal NFL Sunday because rarely are you running your ideal group all season. BY’s offenses actually have a huge sample size. And this one is checking all the boxes for a 3peat start

Didn’t he say the plan was just to run them only in the first 2 and sit the last? I might have that wrong. Hope I do or he junks the old plan. But the it’s just going to be a repeat of last preseason. Where his starters only see success vs backup units going in

First half summary. its a failure of Dave Canales. Simple as that. -2 yards for your starting O. We once again head into a season with a starting O that flat out isn’t ready for the season. Canales should tear his plans up and play these dudes next week

For sure, that’s why I said it’s just in part on BY. Another part is Canales. Every O he has been part of hasn’t been about setting up YAC. heck that one broken down play where BY ended up scrambling for 2? WTF you running that horrible play in preseason for, for a team that needs to find a grove. That’s the playcalling and staff not helping the team out in preseason. Only 2 dudes running routes and they are both deep action to the same spot of the field. Hate the design of that for this group and this setting

Sanders was 100% a drop. But I still think the fact this team has no YAC is in part ball placement by BY often. BY should be that in front of him not on him. TMac was an off target ball (which BY ran a super high % last year doing)

Nice reminder, I still hate that Jim Caldwell, Dom Capers survived the Frank Reich abomination and still have Influence here

They hung Renfrow out to dry. Horrible throw to get your WR smashed

Canales’ team going to lay an egg opening up this season…..again Panthers starters going to enter the season without a completed pass or first down vs an actual starting D. think he already said they would only play in first 2. 2 seasons in a row Canales had treated preseason like he already had a good O. He doesn’t. They need reps
