I'm convinced that Canales is under clear orders to either start Bryce no matter what or he has a number of games he must start Bryce in. No coach worth his salt is sticking with Bryce after these two games. 

Canales saying he had to meet with Tepper already after week 1 was all I needed to hear to know that absolutely nothing has changed. Bryce is going to continue to start until Tepper finally admits he was wrong. With his ego that could be quite a while. I’m sure when Tepper offered Canales the job there was a stipulation that Bryce was the QB. The fact they didn’t draft a mid to late round QB after how bad Bryce was is very telling.

Tepper saw fans in his stadium not attending, booing, leaving early, wearing paper bags over their heads (where do you find those these days?), and he felt the hopelessness of knowing the game was over early in the second quarter.  His ego is more injured by that than admitted he was wrong about Bryce.  I think we may have seen the last of Bryce.

In two games our opponents have outscored us by an average of 30 points per game.  Our QB, playing from behind, averages 123 yards per game--he throw for under 100 yards today.  He has 3 interceptions and no TDs.  No pulse.

I knew there was trouble brewing by not picking up a prospect QB in the later rounds.

I was saying Dalton should have played the last few games last year so we could see who could do what on offense, but BY guys said every snap counts. Canales is now saying every snap counts, which completely contradicts his viewpoint of not playing the guys in the preseason. At least the Jets had the balls to bench Zach Wilson multiple times and it was actually kinda fun watching a Mike White or other random 3rd stringer have a good game or two. This is just definition of insanity level team management From Tepper to Morgan to Canales. Bryce's feelings aren't more important than the rest of the roster and the whole entire fan base lol. He's got $40m and probably doesn't even want to play right now anyways. I assume he'd rather be chilling in California like he did all offseason honestly.

Yep, we have too many young players who need proper development to be concerned with coddling a middle schooler posing as a quarterback. It’s time to start Andy Dalton and bench Bryce Young.

 

If Dave Canales has even half the ingenuity of Kubiak, and can run a QB-friendly scheme like the one that’s making Derek Carr thrive, I’m confident he can make Dalton look competent.

With Dalton at the helm, this offense could actually function and maybe even be competitive. The focus needs to shift to building a solid foundation for the team and maximizing the potential of the young nucleus we have, and at this point that does not include Young.

Agreed on all points.  And honestly, at this point, to add to the organizational integrity part, if we don't do everything we can to be competitive we risk not only the next #1 pick not wanting to come here, but also quality FAs and coaches.  It was already out there that some coaches didn't even want to interview here bc of Tepper.

Been saying that for a while. It's not a legitimate strategy to trot Young out there for the rest of the year and I sure don't want those people around next year if that is what they are doing.

DC sitting Bryce would get thr other players to buy in and show me a reason to care about his future. As it stands he is a placeholder to the next Tepper failure.

The scary part is that Bryce looks, at best, as bad as he was last year. At worst he has regressed. You expect rookies to struggle, but you expect their second year they'll take steps and show clear signs of improvement. We've not gotten that. 

The run game is there, but it gets shut down the moment the pass game is utterly useless. They can just focus on stopping that and pressuring because Young can't see and he can't make good decisions with the ball. 

Bryce being this bad this early in year 2 is writing on the wall. I'm convinced that Canales is under clear orders to either start Bryce no matter what or he has a number of games he must start Bryce in. No coach worth his salt is sticking with Bryce after these two games. 

Tepper will be looking for a scapegoat by week 5. Canales is probably already on the hot seat because “there’s just no way I wasn’t right about this guy. He was unstoppable at Alabama.”

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By MHS831 · Posted

      With the exception of knowing our obvious needs and who we were talking to along the way, my question is this:  How did so many people start on this Jalon Walker frenzy?  I think this--everyone wants to have a voice, make a prediction.  Now with social media and 24 hour tv, networks, etc.  it is more like a middle school grapevine than it is a process where people actually dig for real evidence and reasons.  Speculative journalism is lazy, and since there are now 2,348.356 podcasters with basement studios blasting nonsense into our phones all day, I think they just cut and paste ideas.  Yes, coaches lie and mislead, but I don't think Morgan or Canales did.  You are only as reliable as your sources.  Was Morgan more deliberate this year?  I think he heard the gossip and decided to downplay WR.  He said, (paraphrasing) "We like our QB room.  We will probably add to it at some point."  Not a lie, but definitely downplaying things. I was convinced that we needed a blazer to keep safeties honest, but to be honest, I am not sure that we have the QB with the arm to keep safeties honest.  We have Coker who is 6'1", Theilen is 6'2", and Legette is 6'3" and now TMac is 6'4"+.  It seems size has more value than blazing deep speed.  If I had known they thought that, I might have gone with TMac all along--I thought he was not a good fit.  And if you look at the Panther guide and consider the talent they met with in the first round, there was only one offensive player--TMac. There was another quote that Morgan made that might have been a bit revealing or at least directive. (Paraphrasing) "We want players that were productive in college."  Well, TMac was very productive. In 2023 and in 2024, he averaged 108.8 yards per game.   He is also a great artist.  Drew this portrait of Bryce Young from memory: Many people spent 3 months absolutely confident that Jalon Walker would play edge here. We had a need at edge, but with Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones, were we OK if we drafted a second round Edge? Was Walker the answer?  Unlike Hunter, he is a versatile player who could be awesome in the right system, but if used as a pure edge, he is not a top 10 player.  I was convinced that we would sign Jalon and as much as I like the kid, I could not feel good about the pick.  Mykel Williams scared me.  Both might be great players, but I could not see it.  So was Scourton productive? He was as a Jr when he was standing.  When asked to be other things, he lost his edge (pun intended). In essence, I think we got the best pure edge when you take away the other things he was supposed to do.  Walker's productivity was based on his versatility--something he would lose as a pure edge--so we would not really be meeting needs at edge.  Scourton, on the other hand, is better when not asked to be versatile.  Princely had 10.5 sacks in the SEC.  It simply makes sense.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      I think they will too. Renfrow will use this opportunity to get in shape and get paid for it. After he's cut he will probably get picked up by someone after preseason.
