All in all this is something the Panthers should have been considering months ago. You always operate with the sense you are doing what is best for the team. Having another young QB with legitimate potential on the roster (not a UDFA afterthought like Plummer) after Bryce's struggles last season should have been a priority for someone who talks about wanting dawgs.

That's why I'm saying don't expect anything from Plummer.  He was chosen because he would not remotely challenge Bryce.  He is bad, folks.

The guy who has played 2 games and thrown for 0 TD? Seems like a small sample size to make a bold comparison.

Different types of QB's. Howell is a less accurate, gunslinger type QB that has high TO's. That's just who he is.

Typical Winston/Favre type. If this were a different era the Winston/Howell gunslingers would be lauded. But, alas, in the modern NFL being TO prone is anathema to the typical offense.

It's not that Howell doesn't have talent but backbreaking TO's just limit your usefuleness. Reference Howell's year or Winston's 30/30 season. The same reason you are in the game is the reason you might immediately be out of it.

I am not saying he isn't an upgrade over what we have(versus Dalton is debatable depending on how you look at it) but it's very unlikely to lead us to prominence as a franchise.

I really thought you'd get a boner from the mere mention of Howell...lol

I don't wish Tepper's Panthers on anyone I'm a fan of. Going from Ron "we don't need no sticking pass protection" Rivera with Eric "what's a running game?" Bieniemy at OC last year to Tepper's Panthers this year? I mean... YIKES

It's entirely plausible that the Panthers aren't as bad as we think and Bryce just made everyone around him so much worse that he drug them down to the worst team in the NFL. The defense for sure isn't as good as previous years, but I have a feeling that competent QB play will revitalize all the players on both sides of the ball and we suddenly look like an average 8-9 team

That’s fair but doesn’t answer why he still wasn’t the most talented guy on Washington’s roster.

It's possible. But everyone seems to suddenly get a lot better when they get away from here.

Ron was a total slope head....He squandered 2 perennial HOF'ers careers. Dipper has never created a culture here....the culture is I'll throw my billions at it and it will be alright. Dipper is to nfl ownership what Bryce is to QB'ing ...fk him.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.

      zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious
