If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa?

That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.

[The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]

Both those guys  were thrown into the same role they had failed in up to that point. 

They needed a reset, not to be immediately thrown back into the fire. 

That's what I think about that.

Brother, if you watch Daniel Jones play football and think to yourself, "Man, that's Cam Newton!" I mean....what really more is there to say?

We are not on the same wavelength with this take. At all.

Did I say that? Once again, you have to childishly misrepresent my data so you can pound your chest without stats/data to argue.  Have you followed his career? Nope--just watched the Giants lose and blamed the QB.  sure, he has not played well of late--but the whole career tells a different story--one that you intentionally ignore because the facts I shared were stunningly revealing.  The difference between Cam and Jones is statistically slight--Jones was on worse teams--that is not subject to debate.  the rest is your opinion-why are you attacking my statistics and data because it disproves your opinion?  Here is what we know--there is no answer--you do not know--and all I am doing is providing data that suggests we should kick the tires.   I know it stings, but the point was not to say--"Man, that's Cam Newton."  There you go again.  You do not understand the point--Statistically, draw the line between the Greatness of Cam and the suckage of Jones--you can't, and that is why you simply provide no stats.  Why attack people who disagree with your uninformed and unsupported opinions?  To me, that is insecurity--hope it works out for you.

The only responses I am getting after providing statistics to put opinions in perspective seem to be from people who get angry and attack stats and people whose opinions differ from their own.  Have people on the Huddle ever overreacted, exaggerated, been wrong about players before?  Sure they have, so an alternative opinion with statistical support should not cause you to attack me or my views without support or an alternative point of view.   I think Jones, in a better situation, could be good--that should not upset you--to be honest, I don't give a crap if you twist my words and deny stats and data--so move on.  I have a different opinion.  Take some deep breaths.

walked into a room full of mouth breathers.  I knew comparing Jones to Cam (and the numbers were parallel for the most part) would piss them off.   It did.😀 I haven't broken the news to them yet that I have stats that prove Santa is not real.  Saving it for a rainy day.

Who is thinking, "We are good with Bryce" that has a functional brain?

Jones is also clearly a broken toy. We don't do well with broken toys. 

We have a new regime, where the HC has arguably done pretty well with "broken toys" as you call them.

Couple years back, wife and I were in a Target store early December. Saw an older guy with white hair, long white beard/ mustache, small glasses, basically the whole Santa aesthetic, sitting on a bench near the entrance.

Mom walks in with a daughter, I'd say four or five years old. Little girl sees this fella, gets excited and points him out to her mom 😄

Occurred to us that probably happens to him a lot this time of year.

Name one bust QB Dave Canales has ever rehabilitated?

"Bust" is a matter of definition. What you consider a bust, others might not and vice versa. Suffice it to say that he helped Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield resurrect their careers (as has been well publicized), and both of those guys praised Canales for helping them. He is now in the process of helping Bryce Young become at least serviceable. 

Not sure why you'd ask that question, as it's very obvious. Canales may or may not be a lot of things, but he knows how to connect with QBs on some level that helps them improve (and maybe even succeed).

It is still too early to crown Canales but he has a track record with a couple of guys that trended up when working with him. One, right now. At the same time he and Idzik also have strong WR background. That is a good match for our situation so I want it to work, and think it could.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
