Foreman...does he stay or does he go?

Agreed. Chuba might have the worst hands of any NFL skill position player I've ever seen. Like the dude is trying to catch a football with tennis rackets. Just awful.

Got to think Matt Rhule's wife's favorite draft pick isn't going to be on the high priority list with this new staff.  

I mean, Hubbard doesn't really pass the eyeball test IMO.  A decent enough pure runner (average)....but just a trainwreck since he has been drafted as a reciever.  Which is the post he occupies.  The dual-purpose RB. 

I liked the pick at the time.  But the experiment is long over.

Early test of the new regime.

Panthers have traditionally dedicated too much of their salary cap towards RBs.

Meet the new boss same as the old boss?

The talent pool isn't close enough to be considered lightyears away from those times. There's something to be said for continuity, though.

I do hope he’s back. I think Duce and Brown LOVE a RB like Foreman….especially with a rookie under center. 

I think we have all the leverage and will make a wise, value-based decision.

If we don’t bring him back, I would like Mattison here. Young, balanced and hungry to prove he is a starter after living in Cool’s shadow.

We will be a RBBC anyway and could take a day 3 flyer too.

    • 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.
