I Fully Expect Today To......

I fully expect today to be exactly what we've had since 2018. Total poo. I was excited about new ownership and in particular an owner like Tepper with a known media footprint and a resume that suggested success at every corner. Today marks the beginning of the sixth season completely circling the NFL drain under his so-called leadership. He inherited a team that had been to the playoffs 4 of the previous 5 seasons. Grant it, a team that was aging out and a quarterback that couldn't throw the football anymore. Nonetheless, in 5 seasons he can't put an 8+ win team on the field. 

He was super successful in winning his spite against Jerry Richardson and finding a reason to get that admittedly dumb statue removed. One that he was supposedly contractually bound to retain. I just wish he'd pour that same amount of energy into football as he has in his disdain for Richardson, love for soccer, creating a woke social presence, and pissing off the one-half of the "two states one-team" mantra with his shenanigans in Rock Hill. 

Today will be more of the same. You have to be a message board-level fan to even know anyone on our roster outside of the draft's number-one overall pick, Brian Burns, and maybe Thielen. Though I suspect a ton of fantasy football drafts had people saying in late rounds, "Thielen is on the Panthers now?" We've gone from having some of the best in the NFL at a number of positions to having a roster full of "I hope he works out" players having never reloaded once those tops in the NFL guys aged out. 

The Carolina Panthers have an identity crisis and I fear today is not going to be the beginning of creating a new narrative. I have owned PSL's visa vie my dad, now mine after he passed ironically in 2018, since the very beginning. I have seen miracles, this very year, receiving an organ transplant just 17 days after getting approved on the donor list and just days before I would have died. I know what optimism looks and feels like and for some reason, this team just doesn't feel like there's anything to be optimistic about. 

I hope I am terribly mistaken and we destroy the dirty birds today but I just can't deny I have this feeling that something is missing, that something is off and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Again, I hope I am wrong, but I needed to lay down my marker.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
