After watching Bryce improve as much as he did this year, it makes Reich look that much worse. That idiot insisted on running his O and couldn't care less what his players were capable of. 

His coaching career should be over, who would hire that idiot now?

I think this just solidifies even more how much we NEED to focus on D this offseason... (not that most anyone disagrees)

BY just finding the open guy at all times. And Coker with the high effort plays, great catches in traffic, etc...

I was honestly happy to see Canales not get cute. He just kept with what was working and Atlanta didn't stop it. So many coaches outthink themselves and lose games; Canales did not do that today.

Man, what a crazy game!  The Panthers offense had to be nearly perfect.  Atlanta didn't punt.  Way to play!

The draft with be the draft.  Whatever.  

I'm so happy to end the season with a win.  Yeah, we still have a lot of weak areas, but this is one heck of a way to send the Falcons home.  I'll take it!

I assume there goes Carter and Graham now or do we still have a shot at one of them 

the draft is both predictable and unpredictable. a lot can change from now until april. undisclosed injuries discovered, measurables not living up, deeper tape study on these prospects. Every year some guys move up the ladder and go down. so anything is possible!

No one can deny Young finished the year with a bang. 5 iwins with this defense says something being right where most thought was a reasonable first year for Canales.

Probably his best game of his career, too. Play calling was on point.

Just think, Harbaugh called US and we said “nah we want Frank”

No way. Only way to find quality players is to have the best draft picks EVER!!!!!

This! You can build a SB offense with day 3 & undrafted players. Just use patience to select the rare freak or pedigree offensive player like Randy Moss or CMC in the 1st round. Ride a vet 28 to 32 yr old QB. When the defense is loaded with young talent, go after a luxury 1st rd QB pick like Mahomes or Roethlisberger if the vet QB can't get it done in the playoffs. This has been the championship formula for decades that the Bill Walsh tree keeps rolling out.

I can’t say enough about what coker has become for us. Amazing.

 

its not easy to carve a starting role as a udfa. Especially in your rookie year. Im sure that says more about our roster not having talent but the young man has shown up.

      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

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      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.
