[Carolina Panthers]

Pre-snap penalties and issues plauged the Panthers on Thursday, before a strong finish offered hope. Plus, Dalton to miss time with injury.

I'm not happy either. I hope Andy gets well soon. We will need him by the second game.

Canales strikes me as one of those guys where saying "Not Thrilled" holds more weight than others.

Not necessarily meaning you're in trouble, just it makes you feel bad to disappoint someone upbeat like him.

Gonna be a whole lot more of him not being thrilled in the coming months.

Good point. He sorta shocked me with his recent comments, I thought he was going to be the worst 100% happy coach-speak at all interviews. 

He needs time to grow into being a NFL HC, can tepper allow that that??.... No chance...

I actually feel like yes Tepper can.

I think he will do 2 years of Dave and Dan, unless it really falls apart this year. And not the record so much, more like how they looked getting to that record.

Why tf is there a giant 'ticketmaster' watermark on the official picture from panthers.com? Gross.

With respect to the thread topic, we'll see what happens as preseason moves on. Rust needs to be shaken off.

Yes he can.

Tepper has been a lot of things, but impatient is not one of them.

He gave Rivera almost 2 years to prove he could coach a contender after buying the team. It was the right time to move on from Ron, and no one would have blamed him if he cleaned house after the first season.

He gave Hurney 3 years due to his experience in the FO even though he sucked as a GM.

He gave Rhule 2+ Years as a HC to prove he could put together a winning college formula in the pros when it was PAINFULLY obvious after year 2 that he was not Pro HC material.

He gave Frank 11 weeks to try and right the ship after being promised the moon and the stars with the "all star staff" he was willing to put together. The product on the field was so absolutely abysmal that the firing was completely justified.

He gave Scott Fitterer 3 years to trade all the remaining talent on our roster away spending all draft capital on lotto tickets for QBs.

Dude has been patient. He has made every possible wrong move as an owner since taking over, but he has been patient with the people he has hired trusting their experience to be able to actually do their jobs well.

He finally has a fresh first time HC that is young, optimistic, a good communicator, a track record of helping QBs be the best versions of themselves, and hot.

Canales is our Dan Campbell. Year one is a freebie, just win more than two games. Year two, improve on year one, potentially make a late season push for the playoffs or be a contender for the last playoff spot at some point in the last quarter of the season. Year 3, playoffs or bust. If we aren't in the playoffs 3 years from now, Canales ain't it, we move on, we try again.

I think Dave gets at least 2 years.  Dan I'm not so sure about.

Finishing 3-14 this year with pillows at QB will do the same.
