Bryce is not the answer at QB but that doesn’t change the fact that you put any other QB on this team it will still suck, maybe a few more down field passes completed to tickle your fancy but inept nonetheless because of the nonexistent culture and identity in this club along with mostly terrible roster decisions . Instead of admitting that you make excuses for Canales too for having Bryce as QB. If Canales offense requires perfect execution at all times just to be competitive maybe it’s not a great offense after all.

No it isn’t, I can’t even recall that pass with out having to look it up on YouTube. But ultimately the point is the overall organization , coaching and roster were the main reasons for his failure here. Did Darnold also make terrible decisions and throws? Yes Baker was even worse and he had one of the strongest arms in the NFL. You want to blame Bryce for everything and ignore all the other terrible decisions

Bryce is definitely part of tbe problem but he’s not THE problem. Think of it this way, Baker and Darnold looked totally washed in this team and found success elsewhere. All the other players that were drafted and released in last few years didn’t. Talent evaluation has been terrible from top to bottom. Tepper’s stink permeates deep into every fiber of the organization

I was just thinking — if Bryce had been the #1 overall pick without the massive trade-up, there wouldn’t be nearly this much anger and resentment toward him. The problem isn’t Bryce himself; it’s what Scott Fitterer gave up to get him and how the front office completely mismanaged the assets that followed. The picks from the Christian McCaffrey trade — one of our few major opportunities to rebuild with young talent — were essentially wasted. The second-rounder was used on Jonathan Mingo, The third and fourth-round picks were packaged to move up for DJ Johnson, a 25-year-old rookie who looked like a miss from day 1. That’s brutal roster management. And when you add in other misses like Trevon Wallace and Xavier Legette—guys who were supposed to be athletic difference-makers but haven’t moved the needle—it just compounds the issue. Combine that with a string of awful free-agent signings (Hurst, Chark, Bozeman regressing, etc.), and it’s no wonder the offense looks like a mess. And this goes beyond Fitterer — it’s a scouting department problem too. For years, the Panthers’ evaluations have been inconsistent and reactive. They’ve chased traits and combine numbers over production and football IQ. The same front office that identified DJ Johnson as a third-round target somehow passed on multiple plug-and-play starters at positions of need. When your scouting process keeps missing on mid-round talent — the backbone of good teams — no quarterback can save you. The lack of depth and development across this roster is the real indictment. None of these failures are Bryce’s fault directly. But when the entire team looks lifeless, the narrative circles back to him. He was supposed to be the “force multiplier,” the “point guard” who elevates everyone else. Problem is, there’s not much “force” around him to multiply, and that style of quarterback play only works when the infrastructure is solid — coaching, protection, and playmakers. Look at the 49ers for comparison. If San Francisco didn’t have elite coaching, culture, and roster talent, that Trey Lance trade would be seen as one of the biggest front-office blunders ever. The difference is they had the organization to survive it. At least Bryce is serviceable — Lance isn’t even on their roster anymore. Put Bryce in the 49ers’ system and he’s probably putting up Brock Purdy-like numbers. The bottom line is this: the dysfunction in Carolina didn’t start with Bryce Young, and it sure hasn’t ended with him. This is a franchise problem — years of poor drafting, weak scouting, short-sighted trades, and constant turnover. The common denominator through all of it? David Tepper. Until the culture, patience, and football operations at the top change, it won’t matter who the quarterback is.

I agree if Canales goes Morgan has to also, they should be considered a package deal. Let the new GM pick his coach by himself!

Give me Flores or Salah, this team needs an identity change

Lol Bryce would look even better in that offense. Mac would be trash in Canales offense.

Still can’t believe we traded CMC. I hate Tepper and his idiotic staff

Probably why Ben Johnson and others didn’t even bother to interview

Well he knew when he accepted the job who his QB was so he can fug off with that excuse.

Haha was looking for this comment

Gladly sign, I have seen enough I may never watch this team again as long as Tepper is the owner

Canales is a terrible playcaller

Yeah this game is on Canales. Running a draw on 3rd and long and refusing to try the long field goals. Pussy ass coaching

Lol

Still... can't be the ROI that Vikings expected for what they gave up?

Too early to say - they got some good pressure on Sunday - forced Penix into mistakes

Wait, how did this turn into a CJ vs. Bryce debate?

They wanted him badly enough to give up a 4th

2 catches for 26 yards in 3 games What gives?

I think Canales is using the injury excuse to bench him and let him step back amd watch like Bryce last year in hopes he can come back and relax. I think his issues are more mental than anything

Marvin’s got the yips, reminds me of XL. Also a body catcher and makes every catch more difficult
