I’ve watched about 20 mins of football this season and have some questions.

Long story short, had some really challenging things going on in my life, have not been able to watch any football this season. 
 

With that said, I caught the 4Q of the Chiefs Panthers yesterday. I liked what I saw from coaching (aggressive, going for it on 4th and long), from Teddy, amazing scramble for a 1st down, and from a defense who apparently kept the Panthers in most of the game. Bad luck at the end, but they held their own against I’m assuming is a good Chiefs team?
 

From my super limited experience, future looks bright in Carolina, no?  I’ve got a couple of questions, if you guys wouldn’t mind catching me up on some things. 
 

Is Hurney still the GM?  If so, will he be going forward?

Do we roll with Bridgewater next year?  I think we signed him to 3 years right?  I don’t think we have the future QB on the bench right?  Seems like a good year to draft a decent QB 1st round to groom for the next 1-2 seasons. I assume we are going to have a decent draft pick. 
 

How is the rest of the team playing?  Any major holes?  Anyone stand out as a rising star?

Thank you guys in advance for catching up your boy on this season.

Yea, Hurney is the GM still

Jeremy Chinn looks like everything the Cardinals thought they were drafting with Isaiah Simmons. He’s been in talks tor defensive rookie of the year. 
 

Robbie Anderson is looking like the best free agent deal of this past offseason. 

McCaffrey has been out with a high ankle sprain for many games. Mike Davis has played well in his absence and Curtis Samuel seems to be coming on. 

Secondary sucks. Rasul Douglas has looked the best there.  
 

Derrick Brown looks good. YGM also did but it was brief before he went out with injury. 
 

Some people think Bridgewater is our QB for the next 10 years and some want us to trade up in the draft this year for a QB. 
 

That mostly covers it

To add just a little more to this, Burns has been a stud and has 3 strip sacks to go with 18 (not including KC, which will be 2-3 more probably) QB pressures on the year. Also has been good against the run which some folks were concerned about. More than likely a building block and future superstar barring something unforeseen happening.

 

Sam Franklin has been a mixed bag in Burris' absence, allowing a lot but making some plays. Probably a good depth piece moving forward.

 

Donte Jackson has been a game of Russian roulette at corner. Flashy picks then gets torched the play after. I personally hope he'll do better once he's relegated to slot duty and not playing WRs out of his league, looked awful against KC.

 

Teddy has been solid but struggled on a few final drives in multiple games in recent weeks, See: Saints, Bears, Chiefs, Falcons. Still early, but he doesn't seem to do well when the pressure's high so far. Still a bit too early to get a gauge on what he can be IMO.

 

Phil Snow has done surprisingly well with the defense devoid of talent that he has inherited, but it has come at the cost of allowing long, sustained death marches down the field which results in the other team rarely punting the football. Still, he's doing the best he can to mask our gaping holes defensively.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      I think his football IQ is well below average. I do not think he can read defenses at all. He is not the long term answer. I'm getting worried about DC. I think he has problems seeing the big picture for each game. Some people can't accept it, but this game is greatly affected by momentum. It's hard to explain but you can just feel his decisions break it at least two or three times a game (I think he is pretty solid when it comes to 4th down decisions). My biggest concern is this. You have seen these coaches time and time again. For some reason you have these coaches that absolutely will not go with what is working. We need a name for these coaches, what is it? If something is working great, they just do not have the intelligence to comprehend that something working is actually good for their team. They cannot understand this. AND REPORTERS NEED TO CALL THIS OUT. Rushing was insane for the past two games...ok let's take half his carries away and have Bryce air it out (look at the attempts he had). The reporters need to freaking ask "((this)) was working, you didn't do ((this)), do you consider that bad coaching? If so, why? If not, why do you defend doing the opposite of what it best?" Anyone knows you keep doing something until they stop it. But you have these coaches that think the are going to pull a fast one on them and do the thing that is not working. Dave is starting to remind me of that guy in the movie Kung Pow. I think his name was Weeblow or something, he had those squeaky shoes when he ran around. The Kung Fu masters trained him wrong as a joke, so he did things to get the crap beat out of him instead of winning the fight. I am going to start calling Dave Canales WEEBLOW if he keeps doing the opposite of what would win. But seriously, if he is going to be that type of coach, I would honestly get rid of him after this season. You 100% do not want a coach with this flaw...they may have one good fluke season but it will be years of terrible teams.

      I mean the Bronco's only won by 1, but no one there is complaining.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      A QB who can't consistently throw the ball 20 yards downfield has no business being a starting QB in this league. That is a backup QB who you put in there to manage a game when your starter goes down.
