The concerning things about all this...

I honestly kinda got Rivera flashbacks when Sam was seemingly suddenly ready to go after having his bell rung and his shoulder nearly torn off.

McCaffery as much as a game changer he is, really should have been super eased back into the role and used as a major decoy.

I was expecting the game to mainly be a bunch of handoffs to Hubbard.

If Rhule came out and said "Sam hasn't played well enough to win, we want to give PJ a shot to see what he does" it would have gone over a lot better than the way he fuged up this entire situation. He's now attempting to be a coward and cover his terrible decisions by letting on that Darnold is more hurt than he really is. This is the same type of dishonesty that we've seen from him since he mishandled the whole Cam situation.  It's getting old and tired at this point.

Panthers haven't had a viable backup QB on the roster since Derek Anderson left.  How long ago was that, 5 or 6 years now?  Likely had a big role to play in Rivera's termination.

Rhule would likely be facing charges for dereliction of duty if he were in the military.  Major malpractice if he were in healthcare, but no, Matt is only being paid millions to run a football organization and after almost two seasons, Rhule still hasn't found anyone capable enough to play the most important position on the roster, much less that person's backup.   

This is a huge point as well. Anderson, even with his flaws, could get a win or two, he was good enough for that, which is what he did when Cam was banged up, not good enough to be consistent but good enough to cover for our starter. 

 

Sam and PJ are the same player, except that Sam cost more. Even getting rid of Grier was questionable at this point lol. I'd honestly be calling the Eagles for Minshew.

    • 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.
