Honestly had a good season before getting hurt, but given his age and injury history, it's the right move

It does leave yet another hole

One hole closer to Trevor Lawrence...

Not with Cam Newton on the roster. I know we joke about how bad our overall team is, but this is Cam Newton at QB not Kyle Allen. No way we have the worst record with Cam at QB. Cam is competitive he will not be playing to lose.

Pretty much. Really the offense should get better next year. Yes our defense might be trash but if we finally transition to an offensive team then it might not matter as much.

When Cam is traded that will seal the deal...

Lol. You guys are so far off. We’d have been around .500 last year even with the the 2015 offense. Our defense is far worse than people want to admit and we will lose a ton. Our 2015 offense with a defense that was #1 in takeaways score 500 points. We gave up 470 points last year and we lost Kuechly and likely lose Bradberry, Poe, McCoy, Butler, Boston, Addison and Irvin. That’s half our secondary and more than half our sacks. Our pass rush and pass defense weren’t even our weak points. We likely are going to be the worst defense if we are trying to go for comp picks and to save cap space for the future years of the rebuild.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
