2D (Dan and David, not Dumb and Dumber)---let me start again: 2D moves when 3D strategy is required. Damn it, man, I'm sick of it. 

All these tweets have to be a lie. There a lie, I tell ya. It's the lying season (although I can't figure out why they'd lie about it). No! It can't be! It's all a lie! Help me!

Have you seen anything in the Panthers history that leads you to believe otherwise?

I don't believe Tepper has the patience for being last in the nfl 2 years in a row.

I don’t think he has the patience for it either but I think this guy is more likely to be able to handle the inevitable meetings with Tepper every Monday than Reich was. Rhule navigated those with ease.

I'm not seeing anything special in Canales. He reminds too much of Rhule. He's another used car salesman IMO. I do not have a good feeling about the direction this team is going.

He is in the NFL sphere, and knows his way around an NFL locker room and staff.   Rhule was a true outsider that had no idea what he was doing.  

Canales definitely has this softer/super-positive persona that seems a bit of an act.  I get that.  But digging in, where he's different seems to be on the practice field.  He's a lot like McVay in how he engages during practice.  Runs with the units, is pretty hands-on and detail oriented with the play and execution.  

It is all a TBD; have no clue what it will turn up and produce yet.

I'm not going to make a case for Canales, but isn't it too early to say that he reminds you of Rhule. I  haven't seen real decisions yet to know. I  know we haven't had anything to feel good about for awhile but I hope you are wrong.

From what I gather from other nfl coaches and players his best attribute is that he is really positive.  Take that for what it's worth

So? That will only go so far in motivating players. Unless he's another McVay clone it's not going to matter. I have a feeling there's a reason no other team interviewed him.

Even if we are rebuilding this wouldn’t be a bad idea. You need a young proven WR if you are going to properly evaluate Young and give him a chance. Allen, Tua, Burrow, Herbert etc all were surrounded with receiving talent and we have the absolute worst in the league. Im Not saying we mortgage the farm on it, but the idea in itself should not be shunned in such a harsh manner if we are able to get them for a solid cost. People won’t blink an eye to draft a WR high and watch them Bust (TMJ) but to trade for a proven playmaker drives people crazy. As long as we are investing in Receiving talent and O line I’m all for it if we are doing it in a smart manner.

It's just what I gathered, take it what you will.   I place a lot of stock in how coaches manage the week and run Monday through Friday.  Rivera & Wilks together were the best we've had in this respect.  

All TBD in my eyes, nothing to judge yet.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
