Panthers not mathematically eliminated yet

They are out.

They needed Green Bay to lose to stay in WC contention, and they needed the Falcons, Saints, and Bucs to lose today to stay in division title contention.

Green Bay and the Vikings play next week. The Packers win and they have 9 wins. The Vikings win and they have 8 wins and tie breaker over. If it is a tie, the Packers finish with an above .500 record.

If the Packers or Vikings over take the Lions, the Lions finish with 9 wins at the worst.

The Panthers have no shot to be ranked higher than 7th in the NFC.

Even if the Redskins lose out and the Packers lose out, that still leaves the Vikings and Panthers tied at 8-8 for the WC spot. Vikings hold the tie-breaker. And that is assuming the Vikings lose to the Bears so they do not get to 9 wins.

You have to break ties in division before you go to tie breakers in conference. The Vikings would have the tie breaker over Packers and the Panthers would hold the tie breaker over the Bucs for their respective divisions.

In that above scenario, the only 8-8 teams remaining after division tie breakers are the Panthers and Vikings. Vikings hold that tie breaker.

Explain a bit more. So the Vikings have a tie breaker over us through the division?

The only 8-8 teams remaining after division tie breakers are the Panthers and Vikings. Vikings hold the tie breaker over the Panthers after the division tie breakers.

You know the Vikings and Panthers are not in the same division.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      To rub salt in the wound when you look back to what were considered some of the most underwhelming resulting seasons in Panthers history before the Tepper's came along we still managed a top 20 passing offense with journeyman Matt Moore and the ghost of Jake Delhomme in 2009. And Steve Smith was 44th in the league in YAC so it was not a chunk play pass offense. Obviously the run game was dominant with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Wiliams but comparatively the run game in 2009 only amassed 500 more rushing yards than the 2025 Panthers in a down year for Chuba Hubbard. It shows just how comically desperate we have become to adjust standards that actually used to mean something.

      I wouldn't have picked up the option, to me he's that replaceable. I think the Panthers are taking a more cautious strategy, not ready to move on yet but also holding off on committing to him until the last possible time.  Basically, he's a competent NFL QB. He's bottom third in the league. That's actually not a terrible thing. You can win some with a bottom third QB. If over time he takes a few steps forward he might be a median level QB. I think those are the kinds of steps that Canales is talking about. If you've truly got a median level QB, it's probably worth keeping him as opposed to roll on the dice in the draft. But just to be super clear, I don't think he is capable of taking those steps, and I think we should and will move on after the season

      Unfortunately this is more wishful thinking than anything. The problem is the bar is so low for what they consider success for Bryce Young. I mean we have yet to field even a top 25 passing offense with Bryce Young heading into his fourth season and it's basically considered a when not if we begin contract extension talks with him.
