Panthers Monday Press Conferences

[Waldo]

We could have just signed Dalton and saved 2 1st and a WR. Dalton at 36 has more upside and looks to have a longer career in front of him...

QB whisperer HC looks like it's time for the retirement home buddy

or even derek carr would have made more sense than selling the farm for bryce and benching him after 3 weeks to attempt to save a lost season

"I told him to milk it as long as he can, no need to get into any hurry. I can probably make this last for a few weeks."

Yes that would make more sense, but the other thing isn't happening so there is that.

does situationally mean run a QB read-option with 35 year old dalton when we had 40 sec to drive into FG before half?

I literally laughed out loud when they ran that play. 

I liked how the announcers talked about how Dalton made the right read keeping it. Well, no poo the D keyed on the RB. They aren't concerned with a Dalton keeper. He ain't going anywhere.

"Andy Dalton told me I was stupid and he was changing the play."

Literally. How many times did Dalton audible last night? That was most of the issue with the false starts. Everything was timed because of noise. Whether you blame shitty play calling or Dalton not sticking to the system that up to you.

The only option is to literally run directly to the sideline to try and stop the clock for 2nd down.  Can't make this stuff up

Have they even clarified what the issue with his ankle is? Soreness? Strain? Sprain? 

It makes people think of all these wild theories but the longer the vague updates continue.

Sprain 1-2 weeks.  

Whoops!  I mean a "sprain" because Reich is pissed at Tepper's wife for forcing him to draft Young over Stroud and will now make him fake injuries so he can so how good of a coach he is with Andy Dalton.

True but Dalton is cheap with no commitment, the Saints were a good team on the decline and we were a bad team looking for a turnaround. Figure out a way to win with Dalton and then you can talk better. Rhule burned that option down while overpaying 3 times so it wasn't on the table for these fools. 

I don't even think it's about salvaging the season as much as CYA because Young looks really bad and his ability to read Ds isn't helping him nearly as much as they projected. I think they are 100% in damage control and hoping they are given an out...which would be IR for Young at best. Even winning with Dalton wouldn't make Young look any better because Young's problems need to be fixed on the field and not on the sidelines. He isn't a project QB, he is a QB that needs to figure out how to overcome his deficiencies in a way he didn't back in school at that level of competition. The sitting him thing only delays the inevitable. He plays or it's a fail situation. He was the most pro-ready QB in the draft and pre-season but now he needs time to figure out the game? BS
