Well if there was some type of order or discipline in the building the young guys probably wouldn’t have been compelled to call them out. You wouldn’t call them out if you know your coach was actually going to do something about it. It probably embarrassed DC tbh

You might lose the ones that were talking about the ones that were slacking. The slackers win with that comment

Hes back on PS. Probably to free up a roster spot for a different position on the active roster

If they give it to Cherelus I’m not watching

I think they are running a hospital

wtf happened to the Falcons

His pregame ritual at 12:30 before the Panthers kick off at 1

Falcons banged up so will probably happen. Chance next week because the niners are off worse injury wise, then likely going to get slaughtered by the rams

1 TD 207 yards 1 INT, we win and everyone forgets about it. San Francisco is a close loss, but he shits the bed against LA and we spend the Bye week wondering whose starting at QB 12/14 in NOLA.

It’s worked great while they won 7 games against the easiest schedule in the league. Now they have one of the hardest to finish out, I doubt they win 9-10 games total. Let’s the losses pile up and this is going to turn into a colossal nightmare for Steichen

If you can get a 2nd or 3rd (LOL) then yeah, but really you’re better off keeping him and not picking up his option. Just bring in competition, let them beat him, and move on. On the flip side I worry about the competition that will obviously beat him, getting injured, him having a false good game or two and then getting into a mess, part of me says just get him out of here and be done.

I commented on a different thread but I don’t think he’s involved at the same level. Even the media has reported it. Looking back, no wonder he was so involved with Rhule and Fitterer in the same building, I would be too. I think he backed up after 2023. Now, he probably has some type of meeting with Morgan/Canales but probably not like with Rhule, I would want to know what was going on too. I think his meetings with Rhule were probably more like a PIP meeting. You really don’t hear from him much anymore. I think if they were going to trade a certain player (Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, etc) or make a big signing they would get his “blessing” but it’s likely they have autonomy. They could probably bench Bryce and he wouldn’t veto it, he obviously didn’t before.

Cause Mike White is still learning the playbook

“Deep completions” are 20+ yards. Literally from 25 yard line to 45 yard line is a “deep completion”

I don’t think the Tepper of recent is the Tepper of 2018-2022. He changed in 2023 after firing Reich, being seen on camera losing his temper, etc. I think the reports of him backing away is true (he’s said it himself). He’s probably involved to a point but not micromanaging. (You would micromanage too if Rhule was your HC). I think he got burned by Scott who he probably trusted so he hired that firm to put people in place and stepped back. You only see him in the background now, standing in the back of the locker room, strolling at practice, or talking on the sideline. They don’t even cut the camera to him in his box anymore, I don’t think I’ve seen that since early 2024. Now if this implodes on itself or gets dysfunctional, it’s very likely that he resorts to his old ways. Best thing for all of us is that Canales, Morgan, and Tillis figure this out so he doesn’t feel the need to “help”. Can you imagine if he was like Irsay’s daughter with a call sheet and headset on the sideline.

And if he’s blame sharing, he’s obviously doing it to protect his confidence. Bringing somebody else in this offseason would have done the opposite

It’s even stupider because Bryce literally does the opposite and has to scramble around to make anything happen. He’ll bail a clean pocket in a minute. Probably vision.

I think we will see White at some point. Once they pull the plug, you can go with Andy and they may a game or two. However, I imagine you want to see somebody not named Bryce Young or Andy Dalton run your offense for once. White is competent. He’s a 30 year old, very tall, athletic guy who has started before. Has plenty of arm strength and mobility. Has had good and bad games, has won and lost games. Not the future but the perfect guy to use to measure your offense- if you’re going shopping this spring.

Oh he said a lot. He’s spreading blame. It’s a classic tactic for shielding a single person. You spread it out evenly so instead of one person getting hit with a club, everyone gets a tap on the hand. You protect the individual but eventually lose everyone else after the hand taps add up. He’s going to rug flip him, watch. He's playing the nice guy “trying to make him successful” and defend him, and protect him, and then towards the end of the year, he’s going to rip the rug out from under him.

Also if it reads funny, I tried to type it as accurately as I could without changing anything, I wasn’t trying to be sloppy.

I went back and watched the press conference from Monday again because I wasn’t really paying attention at the time. He’s telling us what’s going on, but we are just dismissing it as coach speak. Here it is in text. Reporter 1: When you say with confidence, do you think Bryce is confident taking those deep shots, or are they being called? What is going on with that? Canales: Yeah it’s a mix of all those things. Reporter 2: What needs to happen for your deep passing game to open up a little bit? Canales: Chemistry, timing, it’s everybody. Protection-wise, was.. um, finding the right opportunities, coverage-wise, um.. and then it’s just you know, the timing and me to you factor- getting the guys down there and giving them opportunities to make the plays. Reporter 3: Is it fair to criticize the lack of vertical threat you guys had, like Xavier Legette had a post wide open but the ball got hit up, there are opportunity there but drops, play mishaps, etc. Are you pushing the ball downfield with your play calling or do you feel like there is a disconnect with the production? Canales: In general it’s a group effort, yes lets get some more opportunities, um, to have those plays come alive- I will call them more when we have more success with them and those things come alive for us, but we have to keep working together, we have to keeping taking those shots in practice to make sure we are comfortable with them and uh; certainly for Brad and I to look at the pass game, coverage, and what they are giving us, uh pretty simple. When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them. Um, so that we uh, are a balanced offense which um, does play off of the run game, which we have got going but now let’s get the pass game going so we can really attack with an offense that I visualize for us. Reporter 4: Calling and Bryce taking more shots back last season… why have you gotten away from it if it’s as simple as what you’ve said about kinda getting too reliant on the success of the run game? Canales: By numbers-wise we are about the same, I think it’s just a matter of chemistry, the full group getting comfortable with those things and then making it come alive. Reporter 5: Is Bryce comfortable taking those deep shots? Canales: We will have to just keep growing as a group and make sure that you, we are at the time on task, the trust factor, the me to you factor, the.. all these things you know, and grow. Reporter 6: What do you think will help the trust factor? When you say that do you mean between receivers and Bryce? Staff and Bryce? Or play calling and Bryce? Canales: all those things and you know, it happens in practice and uh, we’ve had these things come alive in practice and we got to make sure they make it to the game. Reporter 7: If you’re not seeing success in the vertical game, is there a way to alternate your approach to open up more YAC opportunities? Canales: That could be a strategy as well, throwing and catching on some of the short/intermediate stuff um, but I do know you want to stretch the field at times and we get these vertical shots called and we try to make sure we are attacking the right coverages and then from there it’s confidence and the me to you factor which happens in practice. So what I got out of that was he is calling it but Bryce isn’t throwing it. It sounds like Bryce is checking out of it for better coverage match ups and / or thinking he doesn’t have good chemistry with some of the receivers. Also how he totally skips Reporter 5’s question is damning as hell.

To me there are only 2 Panthers reporters who are more honest than most and will say things even when it’s unpopular. Everybody hates one of them, and the other has been around a long time.

Game was 2 days ago. Guy woke up, went to an interview and was like I’m about to take a huge poo all over the Panthers.

Jones to me is the epitome of average. Like when I think of generic QB, ranked 16th in everything I think of Mac Jones. And I am not complaining, that would be a nice upgrade. I wonder what the 49ers would want for him. 4th? Surely not a 3rd or higher.

He probably puts his junk mail in other peoples mail boxes. Or gets up early just to drive slow in high traffic zones.
