With Brown & Chinn going into their second years, I can see why.

Bridgewater isn't long for these parts and those dudes are the team leaders.

Who's surprisingly not in there is Shaq Thompson.  He should have assumed the role of the leader of our defense last season and clearly did not.

Are you the least bit surprises?  I'm not.  Shaq was never going to be Luke or TD's heir apparent no matter how much Hurney wished it.

I'm not but it's as much shade, maybe even more than the TB.  The writing is on the wall for Bridgewater for the world to see, he is done here.  Buuuut Shaq was given the clear chance to step up and given a nice fat contract after years of production.  He's actually quite a solid player but just not a leader for this team.

He should be getting a decent offer from us, anything less is stupid. I really don't put as much stock in Robby Anderson as everyone else is, he's a 50% completion rate WR up until he was shortened in the passing game with check down teddy. If Moore was to go down who do we really have left at WR so far? Anderson, Zylstra and Cooper?

Heck, DJ is losing out in the Anderson conversation too, remember he still needs to be re-signed.  It's like Robbie is a lock to get a new deal (for some odd reason) and Curtis...to a lesser extent Moore, are expendable.

His contract money isn't for a 'wallflower leader' and just 'good' production.

To be fair, you can't level that criticism at Robby and not do the same with Curtis.  Because pre-TB5, they both had about the same catch %.  Both of them jumped up in catch % this year.  Someone is going to see that and overpay Curtis.

Personally, I'd rather have a 6' 3" true outside receiver than a 5' 11" slot guy.  I love Curtis and what he brings to the offense, but slot guys are not that hard to find.  Our problem historically is that all we seem to find is slot guys.  Then we try to push them outside and they fail.  Rinse repeat.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
