If I was Canales, I'd bench him for sure and promote Hooker to the roster to be the backup QB. Yes carrying three QB's but we all know Bryce is done for the Panthers and is going to be cut after this year. So might as well go ahead and get it started.

Calling plays for a QB that can barely throw the ball over the middle and needs passes to be schemed to the boundary so he can see them and process them or rolled out of the pocket and given half a field to process... Are you freaking kidding me right now? Seriously I'm asking.

To get into the NFL, you generally need one of two things to happen. Family inside door Be invited to intern as a scout for a team or the scouting intern combine "yes this exists". Usually a dozen intern spots available each year combined. Once in the door, you generally don't leave and just move teams. Most people aren't fired and never back on a team. Take the Panthers director for example and he had a family in with the NFL with his father being a former WR coach. He went from College football to scouting intern for the Texans 2008-2009 and then Tampa from 2010-2012, Jacksonville from 2013-2020 and Joined Carolina in 2021 and has been promoted twice now.

There's aren't many NFL level scouts and most are just cycled from team to team and have really long careers.

I'll just piggy back off what I said earlier here. The problem with Bryce is and has always been his height combined with his arm. The reason he works so well ad-libbing is that he usually gets out of the pocket or allows the offensive line time to open throwing lanes which allows him to see the defense better, and manipulate the defense because of his legs which eliminates the need to read defense mostly. The reason he doesn't work well in structure is because he can't make those reads at the line on what the defense is running and where to move protection, so he doesn't immediately know where to go with the ball based on coverages/ pressures so he runs the play exactly as it's called and goes through normal progressions 1-2-3. He's gotten better at reading just based on Sundays game because he didn't nearly look as bad at it as he did last year and he didn't have AT to set lines and stuff for him.

He works best off schedule and always has. He had that issue at Alabama. Same with reading defenses and setting protections. It's why he led the 2023 QB class in generated pressure in college.

What's wild is that when he plays and works out regularly, he drops to 175-180. Which is what he played at during part of his last season at Alabama.

He's got happy feet, he reads the line poorly, he has trouble reading defenses. He has issues staying on schedule as well. His arm is adequate, he's actually fairly good athleticly as far as speed and such is concerned. Let me go find it, from during the 2023 pre draft. I said these same things about him then.

Yes they did and he's on it, my point is that his frame doesn't allow for a lot of weight to be put on in a good way. He's a 185-190lb max guy and that's that.

They still make all the major personale decisions during the off-season. Especially during the draft and early free agency.

Director of scouting has been with the team since 2021 Director of pro scouting since 2020 Both have been promoted heavily from lower positions since then. Assistant director is from the Commanders. "Was with them for 15 years" Bunch of lower level area scouts have been with the team for 2+ years at least or since before Morgan was promoted. So the team is basically using the same staff that Scott Fitterer used.

Fox sports tracks drops as well.

By pff but not by the NFL.

Panthers WR's weren't credited with a single drop. Only player to get one was Chuba.

Tepper wouldn't be able to pull a new coach in worth a damn if he fires Canales for not getting BY to work. So he essentially has to give Canales a shot with his own QB. Which means Canales is here for 1-2 more seasons at least.

BS numbers are BS. Only one player has an official drop That's Hubbard The other throws were considered uncatchable by the NFL.

He doesn't really have the frame to add weight though. He is what he is and that's a 5-10/5-11 QB that weighs somewhere between 175-185.

Yeah I called him out for the BS. XL and Rico got credited for the INT and Chuba with a drop, all the other incompletions were considered uncatchable.

He got 30m in extra money counting the signing bonuses and guaranteed money... But if going off cap hit.... pretty much yep.

No only player credited with a drop was Chuba.

He's got one, maybe two games and that's that.

He's totally going to get another year or two here with his own QB. 100% going to happen.

NVM everything is out now. 2025 Base - 1.25m Signing bonus - 19.185m Roster - 3m Workout - 200k Cap - 23640418 Dead - 58647918 2026 base 13.195m Signing bonus - 6937500 Roster - 500k Workout - 500k Cap - 21132500 Dead - 35007500 2027 Base - 20m Signing bonus - 6937500 Roster - 500k Workout - 500k Cap - 28437500 Dead - 13857500 2028 Signing bonus - 6937500 Cap - 6937500 Dead - 6937500 So there we go. Everything guaranteed is paid this year and next year except for the signing bonus. So he can get cut after next season with a dead hit of 13,857,500. Making this really a two year deal worth 40m.

Already knew that. It's 2026/2027 and structuring that I don't know.

He's also panicked and has poor command of the huddle and line.
