Season is done

 

need to see if there’s ANY improvement (doubtful)

 

having him at the helm is a guaranteed #1 overall pick, it’s the least he can do for us

That'd kill my gambling odds.

At least with Dalton back there bookies have to give you somewhat respectable odds. I'm not sure they'd even take your money if we started Young with this defence.

Definitely. Our focus should be on getting these guys reps with a competent QB. 

I was a little down on Sanders because he seemed overwhelmed by position. I didn't realize he's on 21. However after watching Thomas look like a turtle running a route on that interception I'd rather see Sanders in there more often just to keep Thomas off the field. 

XL is showing growth and that TD should be a "GOT MOSSED" highlight. This shows there in potential. Coker was a good find and will continue to grow. I am hoping Brooks comes off the IR and gets some snaps. 

All of this goes to waste if we put Young in there. We need to suck it up and admit it was a terrible pick and move on. Trade him and let him restart somewhere else. Young's happy feet will hinder the growth of the rest of the offense. 

Sanders I was down on too but I am losing sight of an important point, as well. He's a fourth round pick. 

He really shouldn't be expected to be much more than a backup player and his blocking appears to be much improved from his time at Texass.

Brooks I really care very little about for this year. Chuba is doing very well so Brooks is not needed. If he is healthy, fine. If not, there is no rush.

We have Offensive players that need development. I don't give 2 shits about Bryce or the first pick. The pick doesn't matter if we take a QB and once again don't know the quality of the receivers we expect him to throw to. 

Try to win every week. We're not going to win many, if any, but we owe it to the future of the team to allow as many players to progress as we can.

Agreed. This is why I am still on the Morgan bandwagon. Though each pick may not have been the best player available I believe each player has a huge upside. 

As XL gets more reps he is going to get better and better.  That catch in the endzone was top level. 

Brooks was clearly picked for the future and not 2024.

Wallace has been thrust into full time duties and though he has made mistakes I think he was a great 3rd pick and will be a mainstay in the coming years. 

And as you pointed out Sanders was supposed to get spot duties and sit back and learn. He wasn't expected to be our #1 option at TE.  If it were up to me I. Thomas would never see the field again and just let Sanders learn by experience. 

Coker a UDFA, he may turn into AT replacement in the slot. He's got great hands and can get open. 

While 2024 season is so painful to watch I think slowly but surely we are heading in the right direction. 

2025 off season we address the defense.

I'd like to see Bryce play some once we are eliminated from the playoffs. 

 

I am genuinely enjoying getting a look at what our offensive players are capable of. We have learned so much more about our receivers, our offensive line, and Chuba Hubbard the past few weeks with Bryce on the bench. We are also learning a lot about the lack of talent on Defense not being able to blame everything on an anemic offense that has the defense on the field too long.  I think it's better for our scouts and evaluators to let Andy play. Everybody knows Andy isn't the long term solution. Bryce has had a chance. Now he has to wait for it to be the best thing for the organization to get another shot. I'd bet we see just that once December rolls around.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
