Anonymous brass within the Tampa Bay, Atlanta and New Orleans front offices are saying they think Bryce will be a top 3 QB in about 4 years.  The Panthers would have to pick up the 5th year option in that case.

When asked if they would trade for Young in a hypothetical scenario, all three of these personnel declined to answer the question.

Not to take a side in this but you are aware that teams cannot comment on any trade or signing of any player currently under contract with another team, right? Unless said player is a FA the league specifically forbids that. Just saying.

The way I see it, 2 teams have huge pressure to land a QB somehow and get it right - the Vikes and Giants.  Those two teams are going to be more aggressive than others with a new HC.  Daboll and O'Connell need to find their guy and get those teams in shape.  

That's why I think both will want to go with a vet. Will the GM and owns on the other hand is a different matter.  

Same old bs going on. Why? Because we suck that's why.

He is in the NFL sphere, and knows his way around an NFL locker room and staff.   Rhule was a true outsider that had no idea what he was doing.  

Canales definitely has this softer/super-positive persona that seems a bit of an act.  I get that.  But digging in, where he's different seems to be on the practice field.  He's a lot like McVay in how he engages during practice.  Runs with the units, is pretty hands-on and detail oriented with the play and execution.  

 

 

So? That will only go so far in motivating players. Unless he's another McVay clone it's not going to matter. I have a feeling there's a reason no other team interviewed him.

I don’t think he has the patience for it either but I think this guy is more likely to be able to handle the inevitable meetings with Tepper every Monday than Reich was. Rhule navigated those with ease.

I'm not seeing anything special in Canales. He reminds too much of Rhule. He's another used car salesman IMO. I do not have a good feeling about the direction this team is going.

2D (Dan and David, not Dumb and Dumber)---let me start again: 2D moves when 3D strategy is required. Damn it, man, I'm sick of it. 

All these tweets have to be a lie. There a lie, I tell ya. It's the lying season (although I can't figure out why they'd lie about it). No! It can't be! It's all a lie! Help me!

Have you seen anything in the Panthers history that leads you to believe otherwise?

Just now, kungfoodude said:

Nah, it won't be a one season thing. He's a younger guy and has that motivational speaker energy. He'll get 2-2.5 years even if we are dogshit.

I don't believe Tepper has the patience for being last in the nfl 2 years in a row.

I didn't want to say it. 

Nothing about this has changed.  They will grasp at straws throwing money and draft picks at players in an attempt to win now. These coaches will not last beyond this season when it proves to be a fruitless effort. 

Business as usual I see.

I never said they were intentionally tanking.   But the Tepper Panthers have been tanking since he arrived. 

It's more like crashing.

kinda hope we bring him back he was pretty good last season 

Pretty good isn't good enough. Aim higher.

we are in luck, Morgan thought the 2023 roster was upgraded at all but one position from 2022.  He knows whats up

That is my fear. If they still think thay can compete with just a few tweeks nothing will change.

We should make #CarolinaConcerts go viral as a form of protest (and to embarrass Tepper).

He doesn't need our help.

I wonder what @Toomersthinks about this.

No team ever tries to lose on purpose. We're going to lose anyway, it's just that it might be with bottom-of-the-barrel type of players, senior citizens and UDFAs. 

The Replacements. I wouldn't mind if they just purged the lot of them save for a handful and pull from other teams practice squads to make a new roster for this season. It's time they do to the roster what they have been doing with the coaching staff.

Too be far though there is nothing else you to be proud of. They’ve botched every decision so far. At least she didn’t give some BS answer. Idk what she really could’ve said regarding that question that would’ve been a god answer 

There's wasn't one. The correct answer should have been nothing. There's nothing to be proud of in its current state. That was all she should have said.

Just spend every pick on a WR in this draft, and one of them is bound to work out.

The old Dave Gettleman strategy. It's gotta work eventually, right?

The only potential fix is a slow one. 

That is if they have people competent enough to do it. I'm not confident they do. I'm willing to bet this group will be fired in 2 years and we will see what Nicole comes up with for the next "rebuild ".

I've been telling you all this for a while now. There's no quick fix for this team. But none of you want to hear this. 

We are doomed. It's going to take a miracle for this organization to drag it's off the bottom of the nfl. The beatings will continue until moral is improved has never been more accurate than it is with the Panthers. Welcome to the bottom of the league folks. You might as well get used to it because it's not changing anytime soon.

Lol. This team is not winning 6 or more games. They will be lucky to win 3 games.

It's wholly unrealistic to think we were just going to simply let him go on his merry way without franchising him or coming to a longer term agreement. 

Oh they will sign him for far more than he's worth and be stuck with his under performing ass for another 5 years while they struggle to build a defense around him in an attempt to make him an "elite" edge rusher. Only the Rams were dumb enough to offer a trade and the team turned it down. They are not trading him for anything of value now unless it a single 2nd round pick if their lucky. Turning down the Rams offer sealed their fate.  It's either pay him or let him walk.

Just now, top dawg said:

And @Jon Snow, I don't believe I have ever seen anyone on the Huddle refer to Burns as "elite." 

Oh it's been thrown out there. 

Just now, top dawg said:

I love how people downplay the Pro Bowl; all I know is at the end of the day, the only players I have seen in the Pro Bowl are good ones, not "average" ones. 

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree. Only on the Huddle will you find people saying that Burns "doesn't deserve a raise" or is "average." Come on, Snow, you're being uncharacteristically reactionary. 

I'm being realistic and not a humor with process blue colored shades on. Brian Burns is not a player we should be investing anymoretime and money on. Its as simple as that.

We had Riddick and he had more sacks than Burns. We let him walk because reasons. Don't tell me you can't find a FA to put up similar numbers for half the cost.
