Bryce Young benched

I was one that said to wait until enough actual games were played before we made any rash judgments...

...but total yikes. I was not expecting this level of flat-out poor play. You're not getting me to play devil's advocate on the benching because I can't stomach another awful offensive performance. Or at least, I really hope a switch makes a meaningful difference.

Too early to say this but I'm going to anyways. Ultimately, any and all blame goes to David Tepper.

Mistake. I’ve known he is a bust since early last season but bench him now? Ride him to the #1 pick. That’s the least he can do to pay the franchise back. The QB whisperer did his magic in 2 games??? Maybe he sucks to. This franchise is beyond pathetic. 

That does it, a round of sucks for everyone. And don't make it a toothy one either, I hate that......

I don’t want to take a QB in this draft, I want the #1 pick so we can hopefully trade back 5 spots or so and pick up additional draft assets to fill all those holes

Definitely don't want to reach for a QB in this draft - only if there is a consensus #1 pick at QB. 

But, I do feel like this team is lot more rookie ready than last season because of the oline. Hopefully we'll see where they are regarding WR and RB by the end of the season.

You can't destroy the development of other players because you want to keep playing Bryce for the number 1 pick.

We’ve destroyed the development of players for 7 years…I don’t see what 1 more year to try and recoup draft capital is going to hurt. Hell it can’t get worse.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
