I’m sorry but I’m just looking at this a bit more plainly. This is not my family, this is a sports team with professionals trying to do an effective job in a multi-billion dollar industry.

Just want to watch some entertaining football at this point. I’m not watching my kid play in his leagues. Although it sure looks like it haha. 

They pay people now, to influence people.

No joke, by supporting certain things or people with public statements, you can get paid. 

Anybody have Dave's cell number?

I did option 3 last year which was search for a new team.  Geographically, the Jags are the other team that is close to where I live and I'm trying to like them but I keep coming back to the Panthers.  It is so hard to walk away from 29 years of entertainment, but I'm trying.  I have zero faith in Tepper and he has zero ties to the area and I think all he cares about is revenue and with the NFL profit sharing, bad teams still print money.

Tepper is a billionaire.  So he's good either way.  If the team continues to disappoint, I believe eventually he will just move the team to a bigger city.  

 


We wouldn't be pretending, but changing the perspective.  Instead of desiring to beat the other team, we desire to beat ourselves.

oh I see you mean he's like 'good' in the sense is that his life is good. Not in the sense of the eternal battle of good vs. evil. Because he definitely does not fall into the second categorization of good

    • BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal. 
    • I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again. 
    • In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
