I wouldn't expect us to lose every single game for the rest of the year even with how bad we've been.  Mostly looking at the divisional match ups remaining + the Giants. 

If that does happen though, I'm not entirely sure Canales and Morgan will be here in 2025.  

Yeah, I know people keep saying Canales is safe but.....1-16 might change that. Especially with someone like Tepper at the helm.

This team is not winning another game this season and you can take that to the bank.

Now we just need a few of these other 1 win teams to win a game or 2. I don't even want to share the top spot. 

I'm not sure about the other bottom feeders but Carolina ain't winning squat the rest of the way. They missed their window. Someone would have to throw the game for the Panthers to win.

On the one hand, it's definitely hard to see us winning another game since we do appear to be the worst team in the league by a wide margin.

On the other hand, evidently the Panthers only exist to steal joy from it's fanbase so it's completely conceivable we'll somehow win a couple of games at some point just to keep us from getting #1.

Even if we lose out the remaining season, firing Morgan and Canales solves nothing and will only further damage Tepper’s bad reputation as an impetuous, impatient and incompetent owner. This team will continue to suck until we get this roster in better shape. Period. Any coach or GM would have a hard time making chicken salad out of this,…well you know.

Honestly having pick 2 or 3 might save us from a bad decision, so that tells me we'll have the first pick

Morgan doesn't need to be.  Neither does our scouting department.   You can never turn around a team devoid of talent until you can consistently add it through the draft and we haven't been able to do that in a very long time.

I have been seeing what has emerged as a theme lately. The scouting thing. I don't think anybody really knows a lot about it. So you can say what you want who can correct you? 

This might be the most involved thing I have seen on Bleacher Report but it is a good read.

    • I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.  
    • We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.
    • I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
