I feel like all y'all Bryce haters are severely underestimating how bad of a hire Frank was. CJ in last years offense would look atrocious and BY in the Texans offense would have lit the world on fire. 
 

have some faith. Or not. Seems like a whole bunch of ya enjoy being miserable. 

I don’t enjoy being miserable and worse yet paying to be 

He has one year.  

He showed very, very little…even when he could…or …of even knowing how to play the position in the NFL 

not his fault the Panthers were idiots …but this is a multimillion $ business and the current roster has been rebuilt for him and the past rosters destroyed to draft him

this ain’t Mater Dei and it ain’t Bama   Production not participation matters here 

he needs to average 2 to 3 passing TDs a game, when it matters not in cleanup and he needs to actually win games with his leadership

I think Tepper was attempting to be joking/friendly as a means to deal with the bad PR….

but the encounter is on video.  It still shows Tepper is out of touch and lacks basic interaction skills.  He walked straight up to a grown man and removed his cap for him.   That’s not normal.   Hence the new sign joke. 

…well…to be fair….it was an Eagles hat supposedly …

The Panthers Huddle is usually just propaganda …this one was actually good

im feeling good about the Morgan and Canales marriage 

the proof is ‘in the pudding’ however 

…and have to remember a first time head coach and players who have never played together before but they can’t possibly be worse than last year 

the wild card to all this,  too,  is Young 

I wish I felt better about him but I don’t 

Morgan says he wants ‘dawgs’ not ‘dogs’ I.e. pit bulls vs poodles…I see young as the latter, not the former 

Regardless, life is full of surprises…maybe he is a lot more than I see.  I’m not a scout or coach 

It is a concern but there are 3 more major opportunities to pick up a veteran

the  panthers  had zero playmakers last year.  Had to change 

so many holes. So few draft picks

i think Morgan did as a good as possible 

canales fixed the bucs alignment for mayfield.  Ill give him the benefit of yhe doubt

I like Sanders. I think he gets negativity because of who his dad is, but Sanders is solid and tough IMO. 

He really is a tough guy on the field

folks on here gotta have soon fun now and again

i hope Young can be all he is supposed to be…no one wins if he fails…he gets his shot this year…but if not, let’s not waste the time trying to make him be something he can’t be

Posting Just for laughs….or, maybe not 

“The Carolina Panthers weren’t on the list of Deion Sanders’ preferred landing spots for his son Shedeur. But that didn’t stop CBS Sports writer Ryan Wilson from already projecting the University of Colorado star to the Queen City—and with next year’s No. 1 overall pick, no less.

Wilson, in his “way-too-early” 2025 mock draft, explains that a new quarterback may be on the horizon if the Panthers finish with the league’s worst record for the second year in a row:

If nothing else, using the betting odds means that, for the third straight year, the Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick. Hopefully first-year coach Dave Canales can get the most out of Bryce Young, but if that doesn’t happen … you’d have to imagine quarterback at No. 1 (for the second time in three drafts for Carolina) will be a talking point.

And with that pick, Wilson sends Sanders to Carolina:

Shedeur Sanders made huge strides in his first year as an FBS QB and he’ll be in the conversation with several other players to be the first quarterback drafted.

Sanders completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns and just three interceptions in 2023”

Heard or read somewhere that the staff is also looking at Brady C as the backup center and that he was taking some snaps

They went vertical with Legette.  That's the one thing he is mainly good at.

The seam as well with the TE

What you see from Young is not what the team and his teammates see.  

He doesn't have to prove anything to the fans.  His focus is to the team. 

Ask Zack Wilson, Mack Jones, Sam Darnold,  and a plethora of other QBs in the league

the team, and the grown men who play to get paid on it, depend on hitting personnel incentives and team incentives …much driven by qb performance 

this is a business…perform or be gone 

the fans do play part in it as they will not pay to see incompetence…over and over and over again.   

fair or not, and we know life isn’t fair, production is expected from what is typically the  highest paid position on the field 

don't know about you but I have no more fugs to give with young 

Time for participation trophies is over

I was ok with the hire at the time.  My main concerns were his time here before his promotion and if he was part of all the decisions and the fact we kept all the same scouting department.   As far as my personal opinion and the draft so far I definitely dont feel good right now.  This isnt a modern nfl draft.

The coach has a system 

he evaluated the current roster and you see all the changes made 

…his picks are to allow him to execute his system…the Gm is making those picks 

it isn’t to please 

1.  Those who think he isn’t running  a modern system 

2. the mock draft people

3 or the talking heads 

He evaluated the team and said with action what we all know…there is zero offensive skilled talent on this team…zero….plus a qb not exactly skilled in long passes…don’t think he doesn’t know that …and oline pieces that were a mish mash 

what would you have him do….go vertical…without a qb to support it…go all receivers with the same qb who can’t get the ball to them …let’s be real here   Young is neither mahomes or Allen 

if young falls, he will be shelved after year 2 and at least the foundation will be set for the ‘modern offense’

I pray I am wrong on him. He did have good college production but his RAS scares me for a guy who is billed as an athletic TE

Well….ill take you back to the Rhule years where RAS was all there was 

there are football players and there are test takers (physical and otherwise)

…but you know what doesn’t lie, tape.

Panthers selected an inconsistent TE who can't run block and is worse than Stephen Sullivan?

Another special teams player

It’s not what you see or i see

it’s not what the point sheet says 

its what canales needs for his offense vs what he sees he has on this team and apparently what he sees is what we all know   The skill players are lacking 

How did anyone not know it would be Sanders 

2 TE sets upcoming 

glad for it 

Get Sanders

The team has done everything they could to help him succeed. MOST aspects of the offense have been upgraded. If he can't do the job with this group, then it's obvious he isn't the guy.

How far into the season does he have to prove himself?

Very short

the coach he has now  has applied measurements to him.  If he doesn’t show improvement week over week, If he can’t hit those by 3/4 of the season, he will be benched   

improvement and winning are the name of the game now 

I ask myself, Morgan wants ‘dawgs’.  Is Young a ‘dawg’ or a ‘dog’.  I see the latter, not the former.

fug.....ppl here are not gonna be happy here....

They wouldn’t  be in heaven.  

I guess we can’t just enjoy getting an influx of better players than we have 

or the fact that we got our second back

or that come June 1, lot of salary cap cuts 

and then August TC cuts

as someone said, “there is a shopping list’ based on the vision of Canales and Morgan

come in, it’s Friday night, have a drink and enjoy this 

Two weapons for ole Bryce 

Wanted Cooper.  Ba bye 

pick 52 needs to be a good one

It's good for next year but we need all the help we can get this year

I’d like to see them have a winning or at least competent season before I die 

This year rams pick plus 

A fifth this year

2nd next year

THe way they stacked that offense so far and the picks the made last year, those are DAMN good reasons for a fanbase to be excited opposed to how people get riled up over the smallest things here. 

Small things are all we have…..including the smallest QB in probably the modern era sans  Flutie and Murray .….

Murray  at least thick enough and nimble enough to get away from opponents who want to kill him

It's Jaycee and nobody at corner so I can see a double-dip. But I'd really prefer to get Kneeland and have some kind of future plan at pass-rusher and try to get a corner in the third.

Yes. They did pick up his fifth year option

the other  thing,Atlanta is loaded with

Weapons and a qb that can get it to them

Giving just a bit of the rds for copywriter reasons 

I honestly cannot see this happening tonight for the Panthers   I see either a CB and linebacker or CB AND CENTER 

im sharing as many on here follow Dane 

33. Buffalo Bills (from CAR): Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas

34. New England Patriots: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia

35. Arizona Cardinals: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa

Between DeJean’s versatility and the Cardinals’ needs in the secondary, this is a team-player pairing that made a ton of sense in the first round — and makes even more sense in Round 2.

36. Washington Commanders: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston

37. Los Angeles Chargers: Junior Colson, LB, Michigan

38. Tennessee Titans: Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois

39. Carolina Panthers (from NYG): Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama

40. Washington Commanders (from CHI): Marshawn Kneeland, Edge, Western Michigan

41. Green Bay Packers (from NYJ): Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
 

51. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jackson Powers-Johnson, G/C, Oregon

55. Miami Dolphins: Zach Frazier, G/C, West Virginia

65. Carolina Panthers: DJ James, CB, Auburn
