Hard to say when this season hinges on the QB and he's been so underwhelming. 

I'm not sure how long of a leash Bryce is on so it's hard to tell whether the stuff I hate about the playcalling is on him or Canales. It still seems like they're trying to force him into the scheme instead of designing it around what he can do but that might be to evaluate him. So Canales is like Reich but with a much better run game, which in turns opens up the playbook a lot more.

Morgan I'm calling a wash so far.  The ground game improvement and the draft are enough for me to forgive his missteps.

For a first time GM being dealt 2 7 offsuit and having Tepper as an owner? In one offseason he has solved (hopefully) our o line disaster and made games at least watchable. Draft and offseason brought in some very promising young talent. 3 promising rookie pass catchers??! He got something for mingo. Mike Jackson for peanuts. He has avoided an OMG WHY?!! Type of move. He signed our homegrown RB, and actually got him to stay, for reasonable coin. 

Overall positive moves. He’ll have a chance to hire his own DC in the offseason and hopefully convince Tepp to go back to a 4-3. 

So positions in most need: 

QB, D line, LB. That’s not too shabby. If we get a solid DC, go heavy in the draft on drafting DLine and roll with a bridge veteran QB, this team could be surprisingly competitive. 

It seems so far that he has an eye for talent. T would never of signed off on Harbaugh or Payton, so we got Canales. I can’t put that on him. 

Being a former player, he understands intimately, locker room culture. Players universally respect him. He knows problem children. Signing Chuba showed that we retain ‘our’ type of guys. 

I think he has done an admirable job, all things considered. We knew it would be a bad year, but telling me in the offseason that we’d be set on the offense except for QB? I’d still be laughing.

I think that things are going about as expected.  The Draft Class is looking pretty decent.  The FA class has been a mixed bag, but might get better the back portion of the season.

Dave Canales has been a rookie HC with limited play calling experience.  I'm not a fan of him playing "best chance of winning QB."  You've got to ride Young through the season and trade him in the off season unless he suddenly learns to be an aggressive QB.  Canales will start off really well running the ball, but he abandons it too early too often.  He tries to get cute instead of doing what works.  Those are things that will improve with time.  When he was hired, someone said he was a year too early.  I thought that seemed pretty accurate.

For me, I think the Panthers need to stay the course.  Let people make mistakes, learn from them and improve.  We've been too kneejerk since Tepper bought the team which has led us to being one of the biggest laughing stocks in the NFL.  As the kids say, give them time to cook.

I am very pleasantly surprised. I said this in another thread, but the bottom of the league is absolutely terrible this year. I'm not sure how much I value some of these wins, but, at least they aren't losses. 

Our organization has been so nonfunctional, I'm not sure you can really evaluate either of these two. Dan Morgan has done some things I love. Canales has done some things I love. We are nowhere near league average though. So tough to say. I don't find either to be fireable right now. The measuring stick is the w/l record, and that appears to be improving from last year, for whatever that's worth. Going into this season I thought we were a bottom three team in the league, and then Derrick Brown got hurt, making us even worse. I think we have overshot my very low expectations. 

But we are not even playing the same sport as the best teams in the NFL right now.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
