He finished the game, did his press conference, all without a limp, didn't report the injury until Monday and now they're  talking TWO games?

and they are so concerned about it and him getting it healed.....they have him logging miles on the injured foot the past 2 days.  Because that makes total sense.  When you got a bad ankle injury the doctor always says nah, you don't need rest you need to go log a bunch of miles on that and stand on it.

Interesting times we are in CRA.

Brady Christenson tore his biceps and finished the game in Atlanta then immediately went on IR the following day.

It happens, but don’t let that stop you.

I’m all for some hot takes but they need to have some form of logic. This guy poundaway is just out here devoid of any sensible logic. Bryce should have reported the injury sooner!!1!1!1!1! Before the game!1!1!1! Like when did you expect a Monday injury to be reported? Frank said he received treatment that night.

 

The notion of it not being super serious and a convenient time to give him the week off I can get behind, but not just random outbursts.

The crowd saying if Dalton looks better you "can't" bring in BY are just flat out wrong. Coaching staffs cant say it, but when you draft a rookie QB, wins and losses in years 1/2 are not the priority. Developing them and getting them live in-game reps are, so you aren't going to waste a year of development just because the 15 year vet looks better at this current moment.

Yeah I mean there is a very solid argument that Dalton looking substantially better than BY would be more of an indictment on Reich and his band of “qb gurus” than anything.

Yeah, I think the Vikings at home will be when he plays again, 1 week off, then return against what looks to be a very soft defense. I actually expect Dalton to look pretty decent this week, I think TB/NO actually both have really solid defenses.

Some online conspiracy theorists have suggested the Panthers are using the ankle issue as a way to give Young a reset after just two games. The Panthers (0-2) are about to make a cross-country flight during a short week to play in one of the NFL’s toughest environments, and it’s not as if the offense has been rolling under Young.

We all thank Joe for the shout out.  Now, we just have to patiently wait for the Hale-Bopp comet to come back around and then Joe will have to do a retraction on that verbiage.

yeah, I'm sure he tweaked it.  I'm sure he is having a rough time in general.  I actually think giving him a restart is just a smart idea.  Even if 100% healthy.  

and frankly, I think a Bryce restart is more a Panther O/Frank restart.  They need to figure out something that works with this skill talent.  You aren't going to develop Bryce if nothing around him changes.   They need to tweak their scheme and figure out how to actually get people open.   How to alter defenses.  Bryce doesn't look to be a problem.  But they clearly got O problems unrelated to the rookie.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
