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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
