Obada is a Bill

Look, folks, we are trying to upgrade the roster. I appreciate Obada and Mike Davis, but they were expendable. I trust Fitterer and Rhule to get this right. They both know Davis (who used to be in Seattle), and Rhule has seen Obada all season long. It would've been nice to keep one or both, but the FO feels that we can get better value from others.

I don’t think it’s shade at all. Marty and Ron were there when he started. He thanked the Panthers but wanted to give them shout outs for actually letting him have a career. His career over the past few years was definitely not guaranteed.

Hard to say, honestly.

Were I in his spot, I might not necessarily feel all that thankful to somebody for whom I played one year, after which they told me I wasn't worth the asking price.

Throw in that more than one person has said Matt Rhule is not an easy guy to play for.

The Bills are better Panthers than actual Panthers.

Being brutally honest, as of right now yeah, they're better than us.

The good thing is we're no longer under the prior regime so there's a chance for improvement.

I'll still root for him. Impressive drive and development from an impressive man.

What a guy! Cheered for him every time he got on the field. I hope he creates havoc in the AFCEast. And I hope he comes back to make a home in the Carolinas, he's a good, good guy.

Disappointing. Not shocking. He wasn't an all-star but I believe he was a valuable piece, especially considering what a quality DE goes for these days. And he had the versatility to shift inside for 3rd down rush packages. I don't know how much his tender was, but I have a hard time believing he wasn't worth the money. Maybe we can replace him, but I guess I prefer to spend a little more on the devil we know than save a couple shekels on the devil we don't.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
