Mike Jackson, the king of POP .

Wonder how much we would have won last year if we'd started Dalton.

Yeah this is weird. Would be the first time in a year for me.

Clowney!

Lol my puppy has never heard me getting excited watching a ball game before. She keeps on rushing over to check on me. Old dog could care less.

This is Canales' first actual game. It's going to take a minute to get used to managing the game

We've found Mingo's niche!

Way to play it D!

Yeah.... He's having a little trouble processing this.

XL!!!!!!!!!

No time to get it in. Minshew had them to the line and got the ball snapped too quickly.

Fixed that.

Holy poo...a QB drew the defense offsides? We can do that?

Who?

Holy poo we got an offense

I don't have enough years left for a two year tank plan....and then hoping that it's not another failed attempt.

We should trade a late round pick for another backup QB. I don't care what we do with Bryce at this point. I just don't want to see that crap play back in the field. At this point, it doesn't matter what we paid for Bryce, it was a huge mistake. What's done is done. Just move on.

Yes, that would be nice. I would just live to see some fight from this team. I hope we see it. I'll just say Bryce is the antiCam. And my phone autocorrects Bryce to Bruce and I'm just about to let it happen. Not sure it's worth the effort.

I was just thinking this morning that it feels a little different having a grown up in there. I'm not confident, but I'm also not stuck thinking "so just how bad is it going to be today?" There might actually be a game today.

I'm old. I don't do the tik tok. I hear it in my living room, but I think it's a different kind. What is it you are trying to show us?

Same. Everyone worried about this kind of thing happening, but if it's not happening here I don't want it. These things usually just take the best most ideal situations to work out and it's a crap shoot finding them. I just don't want to hold into someone hoping that at some point we happen to stumble into being the right situation for them. Either it works or it doesn't. If it doesn't, move on and don't look back and play the "what if" game.

Bryce had every opportunity to recover short of getting long term psychiatric care, which he might need. But the Panthers did everything they could to help him. Regression is on him. I just don't think he was ready for anything less than the most ideal of situations, and even with that he likely would have struggled.

The thing is I'll never apologize for feeling optimistic. There are so few moments that I can feel good about being a Panthers fan so I try to take advantage of those moments when I can....which is before the realities of the season show up. Still better than never feeling good about it. I'm use to being disappointed so when it happens I'm not looking for a cliff to jump off. I've been there before a lot so it just rolls off my back like water on a duck.
