Coach Bates talks about the Panthers season

Assistant special teams coach Darren Bates returned to his podcast, Raw Room, and spent ~15min early in the episode reviewing the Panthers' season. Panthers' portion starts at the timestamp.

For folks that have problems with XL's accent (or accents in general), put on closed captions because DB's Memphis accent is probably going to beat the dog poo out of you. 💀

Love coach Bates, I actually watched RR before he was a coach for us too. Love his energy, and you see him on the sideline every game chirping guys up. He's got that dawg energy!

This team did not quit. That tells me everything I need to know about Canales. We got our guy at HC and QB, lets get it! 

 

Even if Bryce isnt "the guy" he is playing well enough now to be at least a placeholder until we are ready to compete. 

Lets see him put a full season of good ball together before claiming him to be the guy.

Nah, IMO he is the guy. He just needed to get his mental right and he did. Not worried, that boy ballin.

Agreed, and I think that really comes with alignment of vision for the team too. It's been spoken ad nausium, but when we tried last year to blank check the best coaches available at their position, regardless of their relationship or fit philosophy-wise with Reich, and it was a train wreck. Not defending Reich, but I bet if he got to pick his coaches, it might have worked out better cuz you can't keep changing things mid-season and expect the team to be on board, especially with all the infighting and rats in the room sneaking off to Tepper. One voice, one vision where everyone is on the same page, even when we were down 1-7, they never gave up, and kept pounding the drum of Canales vision, and they eventually turned to page.

Here's hoping we keep this momentum into next season, I'm feeling glass half-full on it.

    • I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
    • I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
