LOL he's a really good DC. I've no idea why people want him fired.

Because the results have been bad. But I'm with you here, to be honest I think he's done pretty well with the personnel he's been givin. When he has studs, and a healthy roster he usually puts together a good defense. And also, I think sticking with some continuity is huge for us. We have had enough changes, let it ride and work through the growth before canning people

We’ll be back at pick #5.  We’re not good enough to beat the Bucs or Falcons away who are desperate and battling for the division.

Idk I wouldn't be so sure.

First round QBs RARELY go into their 4th year without the 5th year option picked up.  That is unless the team is having doubts. If Bryce looks bad to meh next year, we do not go into 2026 with him in the long term plans, period. Forget this year, it's too much of a mixed bag.  He's got one more year to prove himself.

All that said, I get the rookie QB contract concept, but that's only if he's THE guy.  I'm still not sold on Young. Next year focus on the defense and few more pieces on the offense.  If Bryce doesn't flourish, I mean completely ball out, cut bait in '26.

Totally fair take. I think if you pursue roster building first before the QB situation then when you find your guy it'll help them to be in a successful position is all that I mean. And especially when you do not have a large QB contract in the way.

Bryce needs a perfect setup to play above average and it happened for a few games.  Any cracks in the overall team dynamic like today, he struggles. I think it's asinine to pour money and resources over all aspects of the team to prop up the QBs level to merely above average.  I'm thinking long term and if this Bryce looks like this again next year, it will be time to move on. 

How does it not make sense? Build the roster around the QB you blew your load on. Let it pan out while you build the roster around him and have him on a cheap deal. And when the opportunity arises you should be able to plug a good QB and see big results if Bryce doesn't pan out

Important question- Did he use his hands or utensils??

Looks like he can do both.

Idk. I just saw a video of Mason graham eating. And I got to thinking about a defensive line with him and Derrick Brown in the middle. And how dangerous that would be. 

Instantly helps our run defense. Interior pressure kills even the best qbs

Not mad but disappointed in the coaching. DC should be calling a run first offense and he keeps doing what he wants vs what he should. Evero's D is sloppy. Yes it should be lacking in talent given the situation but that doesn't excuse how those guys play.

I'm fine with losing if they can be competitive but yesterday they were not.

I would agree with this. Chuba should have had more touches early, I mean he dipped on a 40 harder like his 2nd or 3rd touch. We abandoned it for the screen passes bc Dalton was getting pressured.

It's a learning curve though, and as for Everyone. Dude doesn't have anything but his Dbs left. Our Defense is all injured.

Who the fug cares. I'm sick of this team playing for draft picks it's time we stop sucking balls and go be competitive. We were never a team that cares about early round picks, and the best teams in the league draft late and still manage to compete every year.

This take is weak. Small minded and pussified.

This should change the perspective people use to have against Cam and his completion percentage, and doubting his ability to throw.

He had ass receivers and an oline and pushed the envelope. The guy we got now is a toddler in comparison but hey, he's 80% today right?

Rebuild is what teams who are steaming hot dog poo say to make an excuse for perennial suckage. New England managed to win ball games after generations of Brady. Tampa is doing it. Pittsburgh is making it work. 

This aint no rebuild. This is what we are. The worst Franchise in the NFL and at this pace may end up being the worst one in history if it wasn't for Delhomme and Cam we wouldn't even be worth the money to market this franchise.

I'm done with it. Even on some of our down years we have pieces that make it fun to watch. Having a -50 differential in the first half of two games is insane. And no plays over 20yds. A defense that can't do poo. Just cycling through coaches that suck are as gimmick as they get. A greedy owner. There's nothing here worth being invested in.

Hate is an understatement

I don’t feel bad for him one bit, he’s making more this year alone than I’ll ever make. He’s playing a sport for a living. Dudes got it made

Despite money, I think most people forget that they are still human beings. I doubt the only reason he aspired to be a pro was for the money alone.

I do get what your saying though. It's hard to feel bad for someone who's getting paid millions to be terrible at their job.

The dude is absolutely terrified. It's kind of sad to watch, I feel bad for the kid. This franchise squashed everything he ever knew about football.

honestly I hate the 3-4 and hope we switch back to 4-3 permanently. If Evero can't run a 4-3 then find someone else to do it. 

I understand this sentiment. But at the same time, with the right pieces in place the 3-4 can be just as effective. But you need really good linebackers and edge guys in that system. And they have to be players that can adapt to different roles.

The simplicity of the 4-3 makes it effective. When the 3-4 is set up right, it can be more effective if the coach is creative with his pieces. It's more adaptable in pass/run scenarios. Where the 4-3 can be exposed in 3 receiver sets, and forces you to go nickel. That's where Ron lost a lot of games bc the Nickelback would get exposed. Think the falcons game when they kept marching up Julio against Bene Benwickere.

The 3-4 can bring a safety in the box play single high and run any zone coverage from there. So it really is just a system, the Individual matters so much more than the system.

Here is my view of the new hire. It's been a while, since I've seen a coach that actually seems to have something between the ears. Even Ron and John( sounds like a place to get some crablegs) coached more on a heavy defensive influence with an offensive strategy that was traditional.

I see Canales being able to not re-invent the wheel, but adapt to the situation. Something we have never seen from a coach. 

Another thing I like so far is his ability to speak. I could see the players listening, and learning more with a guy like this. The pro game is cerebral and I think we finally have a coach with a brain. One that is young, interested in proving himself, which should keep him on his toes and motivated which then will rub off on the team. I'm optimistic, cautiously of course, bc well, Panthers gone Panthers. But if we can get some talent on this roster, I think he is a guy that could lead us to some wins again.

and to be clear, not defending Reich or saying he shouldn't have been fired. it just looks absolutely horrible for us. and it'll look way worse when Reich comes out and says that Bryce was Tepper's pick

If I'm Frank, and that is the case I would most definitely call out every bit of hypocrisy that came out from this.

Only part about that though, is that he probably doesn't want to say anything that would make Bryce seem worse than his film has looked.. none of this is really his fault IMO. He has some blame for his lack of improvement, but coaches and those that surround him haven't offered him many bail outs.

One can hope.

I gave Reich every opportunity. And idk how much play he had in personnel. But the talent on this offense is awful. Our On-line actually held up(for their standards) and it just proves that we have no weapons. I think Bryce can be our guy. But not under this scheme or with these weapons. Why on earth did anyone think this could be a competitive roster is questionable?

And you guessed it….another hamstring injury. 
 

Boys need to get in the gym and do some nordics. 

That's a hard mfn exercise holy f. When you do them you feel like you're going to tear hamstring for real

Yup. But with this "blow up" he is averaging the following:

3.16 catches a game on 5.67 targets per game, for 32.5 yards per game. 

552.5 yards for the year on 96.39 targets and 53.72 catches is what he is on pace for. This doesn't seem bad but when you compare it to the other rookie WRs he's sandwiched between its not as good. But this is his first game over 50 yards and he still has no TDs so we are hoping his performance today was a sign of greater things. 

Don't think anyone said it was a blow up. He had a good game..I think the problem is most of this fan base lacks the understanding that it takes time for guys to develop. And even then it requires the proper conditions for it to happen. Players have historically been slow to reach their potential in Charlotte.

Give the dude some props.

A 65 yard game is not the game to hang your hat on but it’s the best game of his career so far. 

You do realize 65yds/game equals to 1k seasons

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Crazy they even try it again.

And we were shitting on Levis all off season  

It's one game. He's throwing every thing to one of the best receivers to play in quite some time. And defenses have no idea what to expect from the guy.

One game of football means absolutely nothing. It's a sign, that he might can do it. That's about it

Cam left as soon as he got a chance. You never see Cam in Charlotte anymore. He built his business back in Atlanta. There is nothing in Charlotte.

Wonder if it was bc that's where he is from?
