Shaq going down sucks b/c he was playing really well, but I'm 100% onboard with letting Wallace start going forward.

The goal for the defense should be to try to improve & compete in spite of the injuries, but also with an eye towards next season.

I'm hopeful Canales can do much of what John Fox did in his 1st 2 seasons, but in reverse.

2002: Drafted Julius Peppers, rebuilt the defense

2003: Signed Jake Delhomme & Stephen Davis to complete the rebuild of the offense

Not saying we're going to be in the SB next year, but I think with how well the offensive rebuild has went, we should be in playoff contention next season if we're able to make the necessary improvements on defense through the draft & FA

I was just realizing a similarity between Canales and Fox. They both came in resetting the standards for player expectations and telling them about it so they can get to work.

I was at On3’s Elite series event recently where the top recruits in the country come to speak with media. His brother was there as a recruit, along with his folks. Though everyone there was wearing hats and shirts to their college commitment, his dad was decked out in all panthers gear. I got to talk to him for a while, and it was really cool. Great family and they’ve already got a lot of love for the Panthers.

It was obvious that he was exhausted. It really does take a few games to get into "game shape." Practice doesn't get you there if you're an every down starter.

It is also being thrown into the fire and having everything elevated in the moment. He went from back up spot snaps to Shaq, Josey going down and then he's thrown out there with task of leading the defense against the Bengals. 

I firmly believe though that the reason we are getting such crap football across the league is because these players are out of shape due to reduced practice time during training camp. Two a days are necessary and yeah it sucks players union, but it is a right of passage and they are being paid well. It has hindered rookie development, OL development, and offensive cohesion across the league.

I agree have been saying the same stuff. They're coddled and not driven to get them tough and in shape.

I actually think some of the soft tissue injuries could be linked to ramping it up too quickly.

Great points all around. Probably another contributing factor to why so many rookie QBs are failing early and turning the corner down the road. Usually on another team.

They have very different running styles. I hope Brooks can become a homerun back. It's sorely needed.

yep, kind of like Dwill and Stewart. both brought something different. whatever worked killed opposing defenses. eventually both would.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
