Of course he means it but Christian isn't the one who will be reading defenses. Hearing about leadership is good but what we all wait to see is the decision making when things are live practice is just that.

So you're taking the "cautiously optimistic" point of view, right?

Should be easier having a coaching staff that creates a gameplan around how you play rather than constantly trying to force a square peg into a round hole. 

Should also be easier having a better core of players, including the best RB in the game there with you.

Or it could be that he actually means it and that they are familiar with each other because they were working out together while Sam was a jet.

They also hung out together for college media days, and although you can’t call Stanford and USC “rivals”, there is that connection and respect between the two private schools and their players.  The only time I’ve seen PAC12 players helping an opponent on the other team up off the field.

For comparison... Below is what CMC said about Teddy prior to the 2020 season...

McCaffrey spoke with Jonathan M. Alexander of the Charlotte Observer about all things Panthers heading into the 2020 NFL season, including the arrival of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, saying:   

"I love Teddy. I'm extremely excited to work with him. Obviously he's had success in the past and what he did last year. But also just being able to get to know him this offseason, seeing the way he approaches the game, seeing the way he goes about his business, it's exciting and I'm really excited to share the backfield with him."

It is almost like the Panthers are a for-profit business trying to sell a product to consumers.  Weird.

Overall considering the moves we have made yes. But this is the time of year where optimism is the highest we haven't even had a full camp yet.

I'm with you. Don't forget that offensive line though. That's arguably a bigger question than Darnold because we have struggled to build a consistent line for the last decade.

Agreed. I think our OL still needs some help, but I think we're way ahead of what he had in NY/NJ. That line was baaaaaad.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
