I remember the rough patch between Harbaugh and Shanahan but I forgot it took Shanahan 3 seasons to get things going.  Now this year you have Dan Campbell getting it together in year 3.  Hopefully Tepper will be more patient with Canales than he was with Reich.

I think Canales has potential--I like that he basically had a long time mentor in Carroll who brought him with to the NFL, was in a sound organization, with a SB win.  However, given the state of our roster, expectations should be floor 4-5 wins.  This is incremental. 

This next season is a "Is Bryce it" year while also having a foundational build.  Key parts need to be attained I.E. offensive playmaker, a new pass rusher, and a new defensive centerpiece (if Shaq and Luvu are gone)

Now he can't sit Young to 'improve him' so Young has to fix all of his footwork and find an arm in 1 offseason to be ready to start game 1 while avoiding a sophomore slump? LOL 

Well.... The good news is I don't think we have to worry about a sophomore slump for Bryce. Slump implies playing worse and I am not sure it is possible for Bryce to look any worse than he did last year...

this hire says they are rolling with bryce for at least 2 more years

It’s the NFL.  No one gets 3 years while being bad just because….

This is make it or break it for Bryce.  He has to get better to stay on the field after this season.   If this year looks like last year….he isn’t going to be a starter in his 3rd season.

You can't fix a noodle arm QB who can't scan the field because his Oline is towering over him.

 

The physical tools are lacking. Nothing we can do about that.

 

I'm already looking at the 2025 QB class. 

while i agree with this, step one is going to be the footwork, he's gotta get that right. then he can get his vision right. proper footwork is the key to everything and i don't give a fug what these bryce backers say, his footwork was atrocious this year. 

I do think the elephant in the room is they coddled him too much early on afraid he'd get hurt. It's at the point where he is going to have to be one read and take off, then hopefully the threat of that will start opening up more options to locate.

Do not believe any of the bullshit tepper and company fed you last year about bryce, it was all hype to justify his decision making.

The article is stupid--no head coach's job is to "fix" one player.  It does, however, suggest that they see the problem as coaching, and I agree.  The play calling was terrible and predictable.  The system was not one that would allow Bryce to prosper--so he did not prosper.  His WRs simply were not open--we heard that all season long--do not dismiss the importance of an open WR on QB development.  The OL made mental and technical mistakes all season long. 40% of the OL was injured and we had to play inexperienced developmental players there.  The QB was sacked 65 times or so, something I blame on the WRs as much as the OL.  TE?  We were below average.  So if we can give Bryce weapons, change the system, improve the OL.  Addition by subtraction.  Folks, we are signng some weapons this offseason.  (See Dolphins, Miami) Stay tuned.

An open TE is more valuable.
I don’t get the Thielen signing when a good TE would be as fast or faster and get more YAC.

I try to avoid making blanket statements--but I get your position and share it if I understand what you are saying, but it depends on the players.  Theilen's productivity matched the rest of the WR room.   He is not an "either / or" replacement for a TE, in my view.  Tremble stepped up, Hurst sucked and was injured, and Ian Thomas must have photos of Tepper with a male prostitute.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
