I can promise you that being able to move on from Bryce was a key topic he and Tep talked about when negotiating a contract. He would have never come here had Tep made him stick with Bryce. He’s not dumb. He knows that would have been career suicide. He knows what he’s got in that offense. The potential is off the charts. We had Erkel behind the wheel of an F40.

Panthers actually picked up a healthy stud o lineman in his prime who’s not coming off a major injury? Sorcery

Yesterday was a gut check game where 52 men reached deep inside and announced to the world that they aren’t losers.

Gigantic. I don’t care the $$$. On a unit that was directionless and floundering, it took exactly 1 offseason to usher in credibility and leadership. King Kong strong work, Dan.

Andy, please. No more desperation moves at QB. Select well, learn under dalton, continue to add depth to the o line. Yesterday was won because everyone stayed focused, but lion share went to the O line. We have one. It felt like we were one of the teams that usually exploits us. Rush never gets there and RB goes for 5 every time he touches the ball, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Dalton threw strikes all day long. Those studs and Chuba iced the game away in the 4th. WTH? Did y’all see our TOP? Imagine giving them 10 more minutes of offense. We were in 2nd/3rd and short ALL DAY, and it wasn’t from anything fancy. Please keep reloading the lines like the good teams do and don’t Panthers this one up. They’re always ‘Just a qb away,’ don’t add quality depth to the O line, injury begats injury, QB gets destroyed and the hamster wheel goes on. Forget trying to ice a game away in the 4th. Hows the backup’s backup at center working out for you? You think lack of continuity and playing most of your games on turf doesn’t increase chance of injury? If you don’t have a capable QB, you don’t win FB games. If you can’t protect your QB, you end up in the nauseating purgatory between average and borderline bad for seasons on end. It doesn’t matter how good your defense is. It doesn’t matter if you have first round WRs or a stud RB. This team has the luxury of low expectations right now. Embrace it, be patient, choose a QB with a similar skill set as Andy’s. This line is built to block for a true pocket passer.

Without the talent Dan and Co brought in, yesterday would not have gone in our favor.

He’s a good earner.

Eddie looks like his side hustle is for the El Salvadoran mafia.

All I could think after the game was, ‘Tep, please don’t F this up now.’

I was wondering when the last time a panthers QB pitched such a flawless game.

1 point off my point total prediction. No INTs! We’ve got very talented skill players and a mauling o line. We have at least 2 legit receivers, a thumping RB and a beastly O line…. Our QB… never underestimate a motivated redhead. Feel good day today. As teams get more film things will get more difficult, but those dudes were real open. We have a lot to build on. Bravo thus far, Dan.

He had the ‘I finally don’t have to deal with this’ look on his face. Andy stepped on their throats Chuba iced the game away O line played out of their mind Secondary locked down a very good group

Every single patch on my Authentic Smith throwback jersey, including the sleeves are sewn on. I bought it at Champs in Nashville last year. I’m not sure when it was made. Epic gamble! Nice bet.

Just close this ish out with Hubbard. Stop getting cute.

Woof Woof. Money well spent. Best big splash FA signings this team has had since….? They dropped coin on talent but the real gem is good VETERAN LEADERSHIP. The return this will pay on development of our young players is enormous.

These bros are are laser focused. Look at their faces. They’re enjoying, but every face on the sideline is studying every second. I’m looking for my first win on this mo fo throwback 2003. Bringing

Who turned the hopium machine on in this M-fer?

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!

These boys gonna eat today

Next Man Up… oh, wait. Get back to you on that one.

Entirely plausible. He at least gives us something to build off of. He’ll be big for the development of our WRs and TEs. Never underestimate the fury of a pissed off redhead. If nothing else, we’ve upgraded to a genuine football player with no quit in him who can make NFL caliber throws. I would not be surprised to see a little more pop out of our defense knowing it won’t be a guaranteed L today.

Some people believe what they see Some people only see what they believe. Those who are still dug in to ‘the org failed him’ narrative belong in this group.

340 yds 3 TDs 1 INT. Hey, it could happen? Grown man numbers.

Go balls deep son! Either way you’ve made a memory. Fade the negative Nancys. You don’t owe justification to anyone on how you spend YOUR $$. I’d make that bet all day. gotta go the black 58.

I think it was Canales’ call, Dan certainly put up no argument, and Tepper didn’t really either. Thinking about it some more, I think the Netflix and video games comment signed his death warrant here. With that one statement, he showed how disconnected and uninterested he is in improving his game. He showed that football doesn’t seem to be really important to him, or he truly doesn’t realize that HE was THE problem. You never forget when someone you’re invested in says something out of line. Canales knew he had Mr TV and video games as the QB who would make or break his career. Bryce is the one that threw up the big middle finger to his team, fans and entire organization. He was probably 1 more start away from a non football related injury courtesy from the locker room. I seriously wish I could have seen T’s face when he read that his historically bad, gave up the world to get QB, went home to play games and watch tv.
