"Canales decided to make a change"

I *hope* this was a Canales decision. I'd ask for proof, but the fact that any decision was made is a positive move in general

No doubt this is a Canales decision. Tepper would have never benched Bryce after all we invested in him unless the HC (and possibly the GM as well) came to him and said "this HAS to be done."

No doubt those boos at home didn't hurt either. I really think some key players spoke up too. It had to be done.

Andy Dalton is not better than Bryce Young. You'll see. Panthers are not a QB away from competing. We are a good 5-6 players and a legit coach away. 

Andy Dalton is better than Bryce Young. I think most UFL QBs are at this point.

The Panthers are not a QB away, and yes probably are a good 5-6 players away from being competitive, but we are a functional QB away from not being the complete and total embarrassment we've seen the last 2 weeks.

The defense will still struggle. We likely won't win more than 3-4 games, but we'll at least be good enough to know where we need to improve to actually be competitive in the long-term. With Bryce we were not going to get a fair evaluation of the receivers, the OL or this coaching staff.

Dalton at least gives is that.

It was Bryce or bust this season.  Obviously they weren't taking the possibility of bust seriously enough. 

So let me get this straight - they brought in ZERO competition for Young this offseason and have benched him after two games?

This franchise, I fuging swear to god.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
