Winning in December against a team fighting for the playoffs is a meaningful win. It shows everyone playing hard for the coach and each other. It matters. Also, the talk about stopping the run? I think it will come through loud and clear in FA and the draft.

I think we are seeing one of the Panthers' greatest coaching seasons in our 30 year history. 

Bryce was horrible--how he is approaching average.

The defense was not really addressed in the offseason and we lost Burns, Gross Matos, Shaq Thompson, Derrick Brown, and Action Jackson from last year. 

On offense, Canales benched Bryce after 2 games.  most of us thought he was done.  Teams offered conditional seventh rounders and the brain trust on the Huddle was shouting, "Do IT!!!"  Canales stayed with Bryce.

On offense, we lost our starting center early, our #1 WR, our #2 WR (AT), our #3 WR (Mingo), and a former second rounder (TMJ).  For much of the year, we have had XL, Coker, and Moore at WR.

This team was getting blown out early on--with wins against powerhouses Vegas, the NY Giants--then November happened.  A win vs the Saints, and heart-breaking losses vs. Tampa, Kansas City, and Philly--all playoff teams (probably). 

This team has gone from a joke to being competitive.  A few players away from being relevant.

I cannot think of a better coaching job--except maybe 2003.  And this team is likely to win 4-5 games.

Think about it.  A rookie head coach with a positive attitude has done this in about 15 games.  I am sold.

Are you using the BY scale for HC Dave??

I don't know if I see or feel the same, 30 years?? the best?? 

Like you said fox came here in with a 1-15 team and in two years they were in the SB. If Dave can match that, Ill agree with you..

 

My take, he's similar to BY, better than I thought- growing, learning, etc. I honestly had the expectations at 1 or 2 wins. 4 wins and BY is passing around 200 with 1TD and no INTs in his good games. Both are young and I still don't believe, but next season will show if the team building a new or just another GM, HC, QB reset....

There's a lot of culture building going on:

From NBC Sports:  Half of Carolina’s wins this year have happened in overtime. Quarterback Bryce Young now has five career wins; four have come via game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime.

In it and fights to the end and learning how to finish.

Culture right there. That's what we want to see at this point and heading into next year.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By TD alt · Posted

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
