So, you have him making the Pro Bowl do you? Wait, do they even have a 15th alternate? The Panthers organization posts a number of propaganda pieces if that is more your speed. They are 100% Free and you can even use your Huddle bookmark to access them. It could’t be easier.

Yeah, I (and others) looked at this as a very possible reality. I think it is already the stupidest thing the Panthers have done, even if the kid wins 5 games this year.

When people see the real offense and the New Bryce, it’s going to shock the world! Says no one who has watched clips of camp.

I mean, if you are going to use a subpar player, at least know it so you can pay the subpar price.

That’s what I experienced last year watching other games. I wore the FF out watching Panthers replays.

Yep. We have seen this before.

Whyyyyyyyy are y’all so MEAN?

The bright side is once you can achieve zero wins, you can get incrementally worse yearly and your record won’t suffer.

The hiring process is such a time suck...

Brother, we had the 1st pick and probably did no better than we could have done drafting off a .500 record. I’d even say we did worse

The Bryce college video: That’s better than I thought he could for sure but I had his front foot on his 42 and caught looks like just in front of or on the 5. 53 yards. Not 60. Still I would say yes that is a deep ball, too. Not a fantasy football or gamecast 20 yard version of one. Distance is relative to the question of arm talent, but for me it’s more velocity. For beating faster NFL defenders to the target. The timing. How long does it take to get there, all that. But happy to see a 55 yard TD throw, at any time. Won’t complain.

Vet day! At 1:45 in August, many will want one.

I remember Canales saying he could get more work or learn more, I forget the words but the point was he has pointed towards the scrimmage part as being maybe ahead of the actual game in importance. After what I heard happened last year it has been on the radar.

Yeah I was wondering who all these 31 better than Dalton backups are.

Director of coaching development and Culture? No wonder...

I think we should trade our way up that #3 list. What would it take?

My first post in this thread but darn it, context. It was a Texans thread early on. CJ Stroud stirs up feelings, people speak. Meanwhile Atlanta drafted a guy that apparently looks good. People weren’t nice to Plummer either. Nobody has any good Bryce play to talk about. I hope he comes out and goes 12 for 12 for 120 yards but all anyone has right now is (mostly bad) memories. Sigh...

He’ll be whispering to Plummer soon enough.

I broke my rule on that week one stuff last year. My mantra for a long time has been ignore it. Exception for last year.

I said every year only for the purpose of illustrating the actual cost compared to what we actually did (annual carnage in that pursuit). The trade value reference: 15.4 for the 6th vs 1050 in the 1st. That’s nothing. I think if you have a staff that can you can actually develop, why not keep trying to find QB talent? The salary alone is prohibitive to keeping an ordinary one for the long term. At the end of this day, isn’t worth all this typing we are not going to see this the same.

We will see. I just think that the shift from 4 to 3 preseason games presented an opportunity to re-examine policy on the sequence that was long established and is still carried on. I think largely out of reflex and habit, and without that 4th game it changes things. I can see where flipping the game where the starters don’t play, to the front of the process, might have some merit. Maybe that is not what is happening though. To be honest though, my irritation with the plan stems from anxiety over what the offense was going to look like. More than worrying about Bryce Young’s minimal reps that were deleted.

I thought the (point of the) hiring of Canales (or any QB specialist) to run things was that we’d get a professional exploration of Young’s potential, number one. Secondary considerations would be he has the ability to move forward on a replacement, if necessary, intelligently with a good staff for developing him, on board. Etc etc.

For me it was anyone but Bryce. When it got to that point. It was always, regardless of the player, anything but giving up future 1st round. Multiples.(oops not multiples) And the whole bounty they got from us for anybody we chose, not specifically Bryce. It isn’t a reaction against him specifically, it is a call to stop doing stupid poo with your most precious assets because you are fuging impatient. To not do business like that. Edit: and I will tell you what really kills me, and not recalling if this was you or who else but people were happily lining up to give those assets away and the value was massive, it was a huge gamble. People are all over it. Yeah! It’s worth it! DO it! I suggest a gamble that you could do almost every year to the year 2100 and you would still not approach the value spent in that single move. I am thinking. But people start talking value.

Okay of course it is possible but there are pretty substantial differences in the equation. People say infighting/mutiny sunk Reich. That may be a big part of it. He did not have alignment with his coaches. Here what I think we are looking at, is a basically independent defensive side of the ball. A lot of autonomy at least. Canales is focusing on the offense. I don’t see conflicting interests there, he picked all his guys did he not? Simpatico with his GM too. That eliminates a cited source of dysfunction right there. Yep it is possible that Tepper self destructs it all in a fit of rage. Again.
