at what point do you just bench tre boston to send a message

we're not winning more than five games this year but if you want to send a message to your team about performance and culture i think now's the time of year you start firing shots.

i'd say the interior line too but i don't think you can just bench all three

I agree. Seems like we don't have poo to lose by drawing a line in the sand on this lackluster effort we're seeing. It's wide-fuging-spread and needs to be stopped in its tracks.

I think you need to release him, to send the message. Whitehead and Boston should not even be backups. The sad thing is, we have talent on defense, but not at the linebacker level. The secondary is a different story, Donte Jackson will not tackle runners so teams ISO him. However, Whitehead takes every wrong angle and gap. I have never seen a player do this before. We are better off putting Shaq at Mike and just get someone from the PS to play Sam. It really can’t hurt at this point.

This 1000% just start the house cleaning early and go ahead and rid Hurney seeing as he us just as guilty with bad contracts, before he has the chance to give us anymore "gifts" on his way out.

buress is back and looks really good. do you try playing chinn at safety full time and bring up depth at OLB that you think could compete for a position next year?

boston won't be back and we're not winning anything, so what do you have to gain by keeping him on the field?

I've always hated when coaches discipline or bench a player to set an example, but then still trot out "their guys" onto the field that continue to suck every Sunday.

My concern is that Tre is one of "their guys". I can't see any other reason that someone else hasn't been given a shot by now. Whitehead was losing snaps to Taylor before he got hurt.

    • That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football? 
    • What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.
    • Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
