How excited are you to watch Panther football in 2023 compared to the dumpster fire we have had to endure since Cam had his career changing injury? Let’s all rejoice and love one another, this is going to be a magical week for us all. I know that many of you are miserable fugs who will not be happy in any circumstance, but let’s reflect for a moment on where we were compared to now.

We have an all star coaching staff compared to the years of suffering under Matt Rhule (this actually could turn out to be one of the best in franchise history), we have a team that can compete for a division championship right away, for the first time in YEARS we have a top half of the league O line, we have young players at many positions that are on the cusp of being elite, we have a possible franchise QB coming in who will be on a rookie wage for the next 5 years, and plenty of cap space next season.

A few years ago we were debating Heinkie vs Kyle Allen, or Teddy B becoming a starter again in the NFL, or the possibility of Sam Darnold being resurrected. Now I challenge even the biggest Young haters to look at things from a positive perspective: His hands are 9 and 3/4 inches, he has one of the largest brain in NFL history, and his package is rumored to be between 7-15 inches long. Times have changed, and what a complete turn around in one offseason. Cheers to the upcoming draft week!

I'd like to dedicate this post to Lovie Smith. Without him we would be stuck at 9, arguing about how Will Levis would be the next Josh Allen or Justin Herbert. Cheers to you, Lovie.

Will Levis will be a Colt most likely.

We would be arguing whether to draft Bijan Robinson or a Cornerback lol

Being in the position we are now feels soooooo much better than having to sit at 9 and continue the QB carrousel that we have been on since daddy Cam left us

I prefer results. The man who hired/retained all those dumbass blunders is still here calling the shots. We are literally hoping he has learned, at the expense of fans, what other successful owners (and even arm chair GMs) already knew.

He is not backing off, so it’s clear he does not think he’s the issue, yet he is the common denominator. San Fran learned to back off and shockingly, they have success. We have to bank on Tepper either realizing that or actually call shots correctly.

Jury still out for me. We are undefeated off season champions since 1995. I’ll get exited when this team (and ownership) actually looks like it belongs in the NFL, which hasn’t happens for over half a decade.

I take exception to the nonsense that Byron Bell was disappointing.  The fact the franchise had to put him in the position of playing starter roles is the disappointment. When I look back on Bell I think he made the most of his time in the NFL.  Undrafted and played about 7ish seasons.  Dude should have been a good go-to bottom of the roster rotation guy and should never have been a starter.  That was not his fault. 

So as far as the glass half full goes, my cup runneth over for Byron Bell's football career.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      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.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      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.
