I've heard this mentioned recently. What in the actual fưck is the "leadership council". Like man we've had coaches in the past in Rivera and Fox who we have eviscerated for their decisions but never once did I hear either of them mention a leadership council when they shīt the bed on something. The Tepper's have truly done a remarkable job sustaining joke status for this franchise it's unbelievable.

On the one hand we absolutely should heavily consider it if there is an offer made. We have Dowdle Etienne who we just drafted who has shown nice burst in few carries and we have Brooks rehabbing. We've got a lot invested in RB along with the highest paid OL in football. It's too much honestly. You'd almost forget we have a guy who was supposed to be a generational ball distributor behind center. On the other hand we can't ignore the fact a number of players we have traded away over the last few years have seemed to thrive elsewhere at least initially. It's a tough situation. But in the end. This is why you don't pay RB's and if you do they better have historic numbers like Saquan. And even then if you do that the first question you need to ask yourself is do you need a better QB.

Unless Dave Canales and Dan Morgan just completely had the Bears and Commanders games from last year completely wiped from their memory they knew full well what they were getting months ago with Andy Dalton when they both saw fit to give him an extension. Whatever this mess is about Andy hurting his thumb is the same fưckery they pulled last year when they needed an excuse to send him back to the bench. If this were any other franchise we would be laughing our asses off and mocking them relentlessly. Hard truth.

Let's just speak plainly. We aren't on the Tepper's payroll. Walks like a duck...quacks like a duck...it's a duck. This is the path of the decision makers for better or worse. Let's get him out there in Green Bay and see what happens.

If the Panthers were a serious franchise they would have already released Andy Dalton. But no we only cut guys like DJ Johnson to send a message.

I don't even know where to begin with this post. It's a little early in the day to be this unhinged.

I like Chuba as a person. However when we signed him to that extension I said it was a risk because he had his best statistical season while we have invested over the last 2 seasons what is now a league leading amount of money in the offensive line and it's only going to increase with us needing to sign our left tackle to an upcoming extension. We cannot afford all this. Our defense is already amongst one of the lowest invested groups in the league and we expect them to shoulder the burden. As far as Chuba over Rico let's just call it what it is. Our franchise making decisions based on what we've invested in a player instead of doing what's best for the team. We've already been doing this with Bryce Young and we again have one of the league's worst QB rooms. It cannot continue. How many blowout losses can we witness before things like this finally click? Either we begin operating like a serious franchise or we will look up and reach the milestone of being a cellar dweller for 10 consecutive years.

All Matt Rhule had to do was have his wife cook up some meatballs and BAM generational wealth unlocked.

I appreciate trying to lighten the mood with humor. That's about all we've got left these days with this franchise. If Bryce plays in Green Bay it will be his 38th career game. Just for the sake of clarity and the fact that we are all getting worn down on the deliberating about what Bryce is or isn't or what he will or won't do. It's worth noting that Bryce is as of right now with what we should all be able to agree is a mixed bag at best body of work as a starter he is currently 5th in all time games played for a Panthers QB. It's time for the rubber to meet the road....... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/car/career-passing.htm

As far as being a salesman I agree he goes out of his way to talk the talk and it's why I generally tried to tune out the heavily processed Blueprint series this year. Talk is cheap. As of right now his resume is more often than not him getting outcoached when he runs into a winning team.

You play to win the game. Worrying about feelings is how we ended up with Andy Dalton way past his expiration date.

He's actually the opposite. Matt Rhule tried to lord over everything and everyone and micromanage every little detail with the franchise. But Canales is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. He can't even dictate what he wants to his defensive coordinator. And he can't bring himself to sit a highly paid running back in favor of another who is clearly performing at a much higher level. The question is just how much involvement the Tepper's have in this process. We already know they essentially forced Evero to stay thus forcing him on their new head coach. Is Canales allowed to make these decisions without checking with the higher ups first? It's a legitimate question that needs to be asked. Because even if we fire this guy we could very well find ourselves right back where we started with essentially another puppet.

I really hate to say it but Brandon Miller is giving Gordon Hayward vibes at this point. Lots of talent. But just cannot stay on the basketball court.

He ironically had his best game against the Packers. This is as good a test as we could ask for at this stage in his career. We need to see him make strides. No excuses.

It's plainly obvious he was trying to appease both players simultaneously which completely tracks with his persona as a head coach here to this point. That's been the legitimate question and criticism about him. He checks all the boxes when it's time to look good and sound positive and cool in front of a camera before any games have been played but when it comes down to the actual nitty gritty and having to actually navigate difficult situations he just looks out of his depth. This isn't even mentioning how alarmingly regularly his team has been blown off the field through his time here. He's either going to adapt and get better or he's going to continue to sink and get himself fired.

I mean given what we gave up to acquire Bryce Young we would all like to be able to say this is true but we've seen him miss reads and we've also seen him miss throws in that scenario where a guy is running along the back of the end zone. There have been times this season where he has badly missed throws in such scenarios. To suggest it would be "automatic" unfortunately does not reflect the reality of what Bryce has been as a passer through the entirety of 37 career games.

Hideous turnovers from our pieces that are supposed to be taking pressure off LaMelo. These dudes are JAG's at best.

We're staring down another lottery pick unfortunately. I like Miles Bridges but we need to upgrade.

I dislike the Heat with a passion. Miles Bridges just air balled a three. If we lose we at least need to go down swinging better than this.

Yeah this is trash. Dudes are just taking bad shots. Turning this off.

There are things to like with some of the young guys but unfortunately I'm still seeing some of the selfish shot selection that has plagued the Hornets the last few years. Need a much better second half. And LaMelo is getting chippy with frustration fouls not setting a great example.

LaMelo with 4 three's already. Rest of these boys need to step it up too.

We have had one of the bottom 5 QB rooms in the NFL three years running. Obviously we shouldn't force it and reach but there is absolutely no logical reason QB should not be firmly on the table in the first two rounds. In fact you could even argue drafting one in the later rounds as well. It is the most important position on the field and the decision makers should treat it as such or they will surely find themselves looking for work elsewhere sooner or later.
