I think folks need to bump their breaks. 

teams will get film on Dalton and what Canales is doing with him.  There were lots of free rushers today and it thankfully didn’t hurt us.  Crosby was hurt coming in.  

this isn’t the norm of what the Dalton era will look like.  We need to see that and then decide 

Dude Dalton has 15 seasons of film, look what Canales scheme did for Baker and Smith....

 

Sure you probably won't get this production every week but he's not gonna just fall off.

Need to sign one of the young FA QB’s this offseason to see what Canales can do with them

Who are you thinking? I don't really have much interest in any of these QBs. Wouldn't be completely opposed to bringing Darnold back but if he continues like he's been playing he'd get paid big and even though I think he got a raw deal here I'm not really convinced he should be a longer term starter for any team in this league. Fields could be interesting but he's just not a franchise QB as a passer either. Maybe Lance but there's a reason no team was interested in trying him as a starter and the best he got was Dak's backup

Drew Lock was with Canales in Seattle. Wouldn’t be surprised if they went after him

I wouldn’t even be opposed to Wilson or Lance if Canales wanted them. Just give him someone with a damn NFL arm

Yeah, in other people’s offenses.  That’s not the same thing.  It doesn’t do any good to study Dalton in Marvin Lewis’ offenses….who was on the sideline. 

this was all talk about before the game….when it was said Andy would likely have a good day.    It happened.  It’s an advantage.  But that goes away.

Maybe. It's ok to enjoy this for a few days.

Well, its not like he is going to just completely Bryce level fail out there all of a sudden. He wont light it up every single game but my god man, look at what we have been used to. I would say just take it a game at a time and try to get our young offensive guys some good development and have someone ready to go (Besides Bryce) if Dalton gets hurt or cant go.

I say keep Andy as the bridge.  As I've suggested elsewhere, see what Detroit wants for Hooker or what New England would take for Milton as a young prospect with a high ceiling to develop.  As far as the draft, we wouldn't be pressed to take a guy next year, and I'm not super informed on the college crop, but what I've seen outside of Ewers or Arch, I'm unimpressed.  So, if we can take one of those guys without having to maneuver to do so, cool...  if not, be patient and get a guy who has the tools physically and just needs polish and time, and there's a lot of those guys who aren't #1 overall picks.  

 

And also, dump Bryce immediately.  If the rumors are true and a team offered a 4th, you take that poo and run.  I would like a 3rd, but I don't know why any team would offer even a 4th at this point, but end this nightmare ASAP.

I'm not opposed to adding a guy like this for cheap because why not, but wouldn't want any part of that being the "plan" at QB. Dalton or other vet and high upside rookie in '25 or '26 should be the main plan. Wilson has been just as bad as Bryce, Lance is interesting but more as a flyer than a significant part of the plan.

I'm with you, next years FA look rough. I think we need to look at potential 2026 FA we could trade a later round pick for this year. I have always liked Davis Mills. Big, strong QB that looked serviceable on the bad HOU teams. he has some experience under his belt, I would love to see what Canales could do with him.

My plan is simple

We likely still end up with a top 3 pick this year (schedule gets tough from here on out outside of a few games)

Trade down to a QB needy team. Pick up an extra second this year and first next year. 

Draft the best edge at like pick 7-9, James Pierce is my current choice but that's subject to change. With our two second round picks pick the best NT, CB or double dip at edge 

Next year 2026. Draft Nico high. Draft best WR with extra first round pick. 

Profit.

    • Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
    • my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.
