I mean, even at his best, Bryce is a dink-and-dunk QB, with occasional big plays who will HAVE to roll out of the pocket. Is that really "the future" for Carolina?

Honestly props to the offense for moving the ball and putting up points despite no Thielen or Lewis.

I'll admit. I'm one of those that thought the defense was better than it actually is. I thought they just needed more time on the sideline to rest. Looks like I was wrong.

And they're stopping our running game. Of course they are. Grrr!

Of course. But good luck finding a QB willing to get paid like a rookie for several years. News Flash to everyone here: QB salaries are only going to get WAY WORSE.

All I'm saying is look at the resurgence of Baker and Sam. I think Trevor is probably better than those guys. So imagine if Canales could fix the mental issues with Lawrence and get the best from him. He's still only 24 years old and has at least won a playoff game as well as being a college National Champion. I'm intrigued.

I like the idea. Yes the contract is huge. But they're only gonna get bigger. Lawrence is struggling, but I think he can get back to the way he was his 2nd year. He's got the size, athleticism and arm. Seems to stay healthy. Still only 24 years old. Probably more suited to Canales' style.

VERY concerned about an 0-3 Bengals team coming into the game. They'll be desperate .

I'll admit I questioned his decision not to play Bryce until the final preseason game. But I like what I've seen since the QB change. Including the presser today.

I feel hope now. I'm actually excited for Sunday football again.

I'm annoyed with NFL Live. 2 hour episode and 2 segments on the HOU-MIN game. A brief comment on CAR.

Some love for Troy Hill!

I mean, that's our luck. Sure, I hope another will step up, but we can't underestimate his veteran savvy.

What do we KNOW? - This o-line is excellent. And has been 3 straight games. - We have weapons and they ARE getting open. - Chuba is a very solid RB who can catch. - We have a great kicker. What do we SUSPECT? - Andy is a solid enough veteran that he will at least be able to keep the offense on the field a lot of times. -Some of these players like Horn and Clowney will benefit with less time on the field. And the D will play better overall when we'll rested. I think this is a good foundation.

Yeah the talking heads were really talking outta their booties. They need to stop with the narratives. Even last year, Thielen and Chark proved they could get open at Seattle with a different QB throwing to them...and he was only sacked 3 times in that game. The receivers and o-line are even better this season (perhaps depending on Thielen's health). Enough already!

I hope AT will be okay. He looked in good spirits on the sideline.

Perfection. Only 3 points, but took time of the clock and we got points!

Yeesh.

NOT SANDERS!

Need to eat clock.

Give it to Chuba...he's earned it.

Hot take: I'm liking Canales' play-calling today more than Slowik's in MINN.

I don't wanna speak too soon, but I'm proud of what we've seen from the defense so far.

Dang! Even when good things happen, it's with a cost. I hope Thielen will be ok. Dude's a warrior!
