The decision to put BY in timeout is the right one for a number of reasons already discussed.  I actually think it is best for the team, but also the best for BY.  However, it seems like it has become a very negative distraction for the Panthers.  You cannot listen to any sports show without the pontificators giving their opinions on how the Panthers are a terrible team and all the negative stuff around the decision.  This absolutely cannot be helping the team.  

My question is this:  Why didn't Canales just announce that BY woke up with some soreness in his shoulder and we feel it is best to sit him this week against the Raiders?  It would have avoided all of this negative PR and allowed the team to focus on the Raiders.  Reich pretty much did this last year against Seattle with the phantom ankle injury.  This would have taken the national spotlight off this and the media firestorm.  The Panthers go into LV with Andy and if he plays well, then you just stay with the 'hot-hand'.  Why make such a big 'announcement' that we are 'benching BY'?

A week won't fix the problem nor the PR hit. Who cares what the talking heads say. Have to do what's best for the team.

This 100 percent. Tepper is a terrible owner and has made terrible decisions and seats have been putrid. However I do find it funny that there are all these media outlets defending Bryce. He is not an NFL QB and would be shocked if he’s in the league 2 years from now 

They’re already setting up the narrative that the Panthers David Carr’d him

These media outlets don't want to admit they were wrong, don't read what defensive Coordinators say about him, and/or don't watch panthers games

This decision is not about beating the Raiders, this decision is about getting the QB room right and also about keeping the locker going in the right direction. This is a good move by our coaching staff and finally showed some competence from a team that has not displayed much know how over the past 6-7 years.

Good point.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
