"we had a good week of practice" - Dave canales

It doesn’t look like they ever practice.

I wrote a large thread about this when Canales was hired that was immediately locked. 

When I googled this, the first result was a huddle thread…lol.

4. something very clearly happened between Dave and someone on the staff from Seattle and it’s probably Brad Idzik. It is alluded to several times because the book wasn’t edited so there’s lots of different fragments of the same story. 

uh…pardon?

Plus tariffs lol. How would that work? 
 

Lol…didn’t think of that. There is a 100% tariff on foreign movies and tv shows now right?

Unlikely.

1) Tepper just signed a 20 year commitment with charlotte.

2) The city owns the land the stadium sits on, and can foreclose on the stadium if he breaks the agreement (plus fines). Bye bye Charlotte FC.

3) Charlotte FC cannot maintain that stadium alone. I can’t imagine the legal crap from MLS he’d have to deal with if that team couldn’t play in the city.

4) If the nfl setup shop in Europe, they’d be subject to Europes laws. Think safety (CTE), unions, corporate governance, contract law, employment law, etc. Keeping the EU regulators happy would change the game forever. 

The guy has a 6 year contract. It’s not like he’s out any money if he’s fired.

There is no reason he has to let Tep get under his skin. Coach the team your way or get fired and walk with Teps money.

The odds of any coach going 6 years with Tepper was always zero.

He looks like he’s not sleeping.

I honestly think they are going to stick with Bryce. It's year 3 for him. He shouldn't need any motivation. He's either got it or he ain't. We are going to ride him to a top 3 pick and send his ass packing

Yeah, They have to know by now that Dalton would win us more games than Bryce.

So the solution is to do what? Buy our way out? If it was that easy every team would be a juggernaut.

The culture is established by management and the players. If management is bad they draft bad players and that's your culture. Its is deeply rooted in this organization and has been for a very long time.

No, not buy our way out. Hire a HC that can whip these players into shape and give them something to play for. Have you forgotten how the team played under Wilkes?
 

The team needs a culture change.

We need a HC that will come in and smash skulls. A guy that knows how to win and has the creds to demand respect.

After that, we need a QB that is the same type of leader. A guy who can put the game on his back and demand the respect and effort of the players around him.

None of that is easy, but we can’t draft our way out of a terrible culture.

A 0.0 on 10 pass block snaps is insane. If things slow down later today I'm hoping to get a chance to start watching the all-22. The review thread is not going to be fun to have to put together this week.

Someone on YouTube looked at the oline all 22. At times, the patriots were only rushing 3 and getting immediate penetration from all 3 guys.

I’m still waiting for the mediocrity Tepper promised.

We can be any kind of team. Defensive or offensive. We obviously need the players and coaches to do it.

The idea that an organization can only be one is really silly.

I guess they’re going with the “WRs ran the wrong routes” story instead of putting the blame on Penix.

Cam didn't necessarily disagree with Steve. He experienced the lack of culture here firsthand in his early years as many fans know all too well. His response was that Steve only knows how to be who he is but at the end of the day this is a small market it isn't L.A. or Boston or New York etc. It is Carolina and the team represents two states. And fans have become weary and frustrated and fed up and they need some semblance of hope. It's a tough situation all around.

A crazy stat is that the Charlotte metro area is projected to have the same population as the Boston metro area in 25 years.

Well, he's half right.  This city is soft af. Hell, most of the people here arent from here.  And the ones that are, are all wine and cheese crowds.  This city doesn't deserve an NFL team.

What does that even mean?

We need to fawn over a bad 1st round pick?

The city has never seen a consistent winning team.

What do people have to be excited about?

He couldn’t see him.

Prediction: BY gets “hurt” after the team is mathematically eliminated.

he is then traded in the off season.

I was very skeptical of Dan when he was promoted, and all my fears are coming true.

I suspect Dan was hired because:

1) Good candidates declined interviews.

2) He was the only candidate who was excited about Bryce and doing everything possible to prove he was a good pick.

Who is the real Bryce? 328 yards for 3 touchdowns leading three scoring drives with only 2 or 3 runs total that is basically carrying this team? Or the guy fumbling and throwing ridiculous interceptions?

This Bryce looks like the franchise. The other Bryce looked like a 4th string QB playing in the 4th quarter of a preseason game with 5 minutes left. 
 

Without those two turnovers the Panthers are winning this game. 

Garbage time Bryce playing against prevent defense looks good.

Bryce playing against a defense that is trying, is terrible.

What about the offense?
