Most oddsmakers have Panthers over/under at 4.5 which makes a lot more sense

the same Chris Simms that said Matt Corral would be a future hall of famer?

and the same one who said Zach Wilson should have been the #1 pick. 

i can't argue really with some of his points, Bryce does have a lot to prove that his game can translate to the NFL, especially when it comes to making NFL throws consistently

Ask me after preseason. 

this!  i knew we were in trouble last preseason when i saw that offensive line.   most on here called me a crybaby

I really don't know what it's going to look like. If you are expecting Young to carry the offense then you will probably be disappointed. The plan according to what Canales has said is to have a balanced offense. What that is going to look like I don't think anyone but a select few know right now. I just hope it's not reminiscent of the garbage we saw last season. It has to be better right, right?

It can't be worse, we hit bottom last year and only way is to go up.  How much better?  2 wins -> 4 wins?  

or can they actually win 7-8 games?  I don't think the latter is happening

You don't know that. His goal is to make him play to the best of his abilities. That is what he's said all along. Whether it helps to win games has yet to be seen. Canales has to also build a team and offense good enough to win no matter who's behind center. If he can do that he will be around to get whoever he feels is better to run it. He's not tied to Young but he still has to build a complete team and offense. 

That's fair, I just thought the game manager typically means our defense has to carry and not sure that'll be possible.

NFL 2k I think was peak fun football video game for me

NFL 2K - 2005 I think was the peak for me as well, never could get into Madden after that.  In fact, I stopped playing Madden in protest due to the monopoly

Canales will get the chance to establish an offense around what strengths he thinks Bryce has. He's obligated, or directed to do that this season. If it looks bad this season then Morgan will have to decide if Dave gave it an honest attempt before he gets the chance to do it around the qb of his choosing. That's how I see this all playing out.

He’s already said in interviews his goal is to turn Bryce into a game manager and only ask him to make a few special plays per game. I think it’s smart for Bryce’s development but it also means we won’t win many games. 

I haven’t played it in almost 20 years. You would think by now they would just have AI generate the playbook based on actual game footage.

I am so happy we got XL....he's got a chance to make Smitty worry about his goat status.  And the kid seems like such a good guy

Don't know anyone can pass Smitty other than his stats, he'll always be the goat.  I do expect XL to break all rookie receiving records.  Hopefully Bryce develops a connection with him and delivers the ball on time because I have a feeling he will have no problems getting open in the NFL.  

2:0 start, let's go!

These lists are so dumb, who TF cares

Yes, Canales and Morgan.  Stud coming out of college, but has been banged up since being in the League.  If, BIG IF, he can stay healthy, this dude could be a strong  acquisition.

Solid depth at least - I don't think we'll be able to count on Brooks until mid way through the season for any major carries. 

is this a Canales guy from his days in Seattle?

I just believe these picks have more to do with the mental makeup and physical traits. Both of the LBs give me a Frankie Luvu feeling.

I know everyone is getting tried of the "Dawg" comments but every one of them give me that feeling. 

Hopefully we'll see that in camp. I expect a couple of fights.

I agree, bunch of guys who won't have an issue with maximum effort and toughness, they'll maximize their potential and punch above their weight.

You can’t fix it all in one offseason

What happened to Mingo?

Looks like the fans voice was heard!

I picked none of the above just because I'm an asshole and I can.

You’ve earned it, cheers

I’m in the minority.  But I’m not taking TE unless it’s truly the BPA on the board.

Canales runs 11 personnel (3WR 1TE), and doesn’t use TE primarily in the passing game.
 *Top TE last year for him was 5th on the team in targets even behind the RB.

Keep adding to the WR room if the BPA is a WR

 

If BPA is CB, run that in.  As Evero loves using that 3-3-5 with the nickel a Lot

I can agree with this logic.  

Just now, jasonluckydog said:

I would say Sanders we need to upgrade our TE position. If Greg wasn't such a pussy and got old we would be ok. 

I agree - and I think having a legitimate TE threat in the middle of the field is what will suit Bryce's game. 

If you only could select one of these players

Brooks would have started if he wasn't returning from injury but I think half way through the season will see increase in reps.  

XL better start day 1  or he wasn't the right pick.
