Panthers Rhule

Came to say the exact same thing. Kool-Aid anyone???

Nice play by Darnold there. No ghosts on the field anymore. I always liked him and the Vikings were my original team so I'm pulling for them this season.

I agree. To win this game we need to establish the run and stay with it. We need to create an identity today and it needs to be at the line with ground and pound to open up the air attack. I think Chubba has turned into a pretty good RB. We need to use him this game. I would love for us to become a physical team this season and it would work well with Andy I think.

I can believe that. The players were basically saying the same thing. They know Dalton should've been the starter day 1.

In the first 2 games the Raiders didn't run the ball which would be good since our run D has been terrible. Also, the Raiders D hasn't been good in general but especially their run D so perhaps we can run the ball well today and control the tempo. Force Menshew to air it out again.

I agree. There's no reason to rush this. It also depends on what they think Plummer could do if necessary. They would still need to find a 3rd QB. Either to be Dalton's back up or move to the PS.

It's hard to say what another team will do. I never know what this team will do. I never thought Lance would get a 4th but he did. So, who knows? His size will keep the offers down but because he's a QB I bet someone will give something to take the risk that it was all our fault. Low round picks have little value to in reality so I'm sure someone will offer something.

I'm wondering if this isn't the real reason we didn't see him in preseason more. Were they hiding him? I remember something like Canales saying he was waiting for Dalton to return so they could evaluate the offense or something like that. Plus XL said Dalton was running with the ones already. There's more to this story than we know at the moment.

Did anyone see our next QB today by any chance?

Ok, thank you. I don't follow these things so I had no idea.

Who is this Diana Russini? Does anyone know her?

Much better than the alternative of watching more games with the absolute worse QB play I've ever seen in the NFL.

Yep, He said he thinks he and Andy will be good and smiled. That's positivity coming from the Rook. That alone is worth it.

I totally agree with you 100%. They don't look to me like they have a loser mentality. They just wanted to lose the loser so they can get on with business.

Judging by XLs reaction it told them yeah guys we know and we've got your back this time. The worst reaction would be ignoring the issue and pretending everything is fine.

Fair, but if you buy something at the store and when you get home you discover it's broken and your dog ate the receipt what do you do? Keep hoping it works or try to find one that does?

Yeah, I much prefer my version of events. Canales woke up Monday morning, marched into everyone's office and said, I know I'm Mr. positivity but wtf??? This experiment is over. Don't make me give you the I'm really interested in what you're saying face!!!

Oh yeah, for sure. I was actually surprised by how brutal the team post game interviews were towards Bryce. That's when I knew it had to happen and started praying that it would or this would've set us up for the worst season ever and a mass exodus from Carolina. At least now we have a chance to redeem the Org and show that we're learning from our mistakes (we=Tepper) XL doesn't use much body language he just comes out and says things. His interview was blunt as fug main

I personally believe he and Frank wanted Stroud and that's why they were fired so early because they weren't on the Young team and they got blamed for not wanting him and him not succeeding.

There's another connection to Carolina in Minnesota too. Our QB coach from last season, McCown, is the QB coach for the Vikings now. I find that an interesting twist of fate as well. Josh has his big QB this time.

I get the highly drafted QB bust comparison but that's it. Lance is big, fast with a strong arm. His physical attributes got a 4th. Bryce doesn't have any of those things. I agree that it challenges the narrative that it's all because the team's bad. If the team doesn't look that bad with Dalton then was it really the team? However, one could still say but last season was so bad it shook him. That's probably true too. Why can't both things be true? Can't look desperate if you are hoping for a trade. I thought Riddick hit it pretty good in this one.
