First half summary.

its a failure of Dave Canales.   Simple as that.  -2 yards for your starting O.   We once again head into a season with a starting O that flat out isn’t ready for the season.  

Canales should tear his plans up and play these dudes next week 

I mean I doubt it would matter all that much, but if he sits the starters next week then bet your mortgage on the jags week 1.  You cannot clean that type of poo show up in practice

I get what you’re saying, but I just think the overriding factor for me is it just feels like we’re constantly spinning our wheels.  If that is what we were looking for, we had Zane Gonzalez.  We create our own problems and then spend years trying to fix them.

I don't disagree. There's often turnover in places there shouldn't be before there's turnover where it needs to be.

I would about bet on 2 series for the starters Thursday.

Didn’t he say the plan was just to run them only in the first 2 and sit the last? 

I might have that wrong.  Hope I do or he junks the old plan.

But the it’s just going to be a repeat of last preseason.  Where his starters only see success vs backup units going in

Yea 3rd game is usually the bubble guy showcase

You're attaching conventional strategy to a coach who often laughs in the face of that. I could very well be wrong but I bet he comes out and says "we weren't sharp, we'll look at the tape and assess it," then the starters roll out there for the opening series.

I bet they won’t play at all.

Probably not but they should. If nothing else just to embarrass them and he'll if I was Canales I'd straight up say it. If my starters are playing like third stringers then let's treat them like third stringers.

Meh, I'm not panicking on the offense yet, especially since both teams opposing beat writers said we looked good in joint practice. Everything we have run is very vanilla, and unfortunately it looks like Canales is one of those coaches who doesn't care about preseason games or effort, which is disappointing. Defense though, continues to look rough and that should be one area in preseason where you just go out and execute

Don't know if I can watch more.

Every commercial break, my service talks about a San Fran documentary pulling Montana for Steve Young and a QB controversy, then Micah P, and then maybe season opener with Rams.. and then some other boring generic European soccer clips. And repeat if the break is longer... 

Gah..  I prefer the US commercials. I want them. Bad. 😂

I think it all is starting to crystallize for me today…  preseason, even in bad years, used to be exciting and fun.  Watching bottom of the roster guys churn and trying to figure out who should and would stick and who deserves a spot.  Watching guys compete.  But as someone said earlier in the thread, the cupboard has been bare for so long, that as shitty as most of the first string is, once they sit, we are so talent-deficient that all interest goes out the window.  Even where we have interesting guys like a Renfrow or Horn Jr., who is gonna get it to them without throwing them a hospital ball?  Plummer?  Other than that, across the board we are so bad that it’s not competitive.  Who cares who sticks as the 53rd man when the 45 or so above them are barely NFL-worthy.

God, we are horrible.  Way worse than we ever have been.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean, you see the games on the first page right? 167, 235, 171, 121, 103 etc etc. Am I a tad small? I guess if we are needing perfection, but hey this is a BY thread....... Id say in the majority he does have around 100 yards for 55 minutes, does that help? Just like the numbers they reflect hes playd very poor in nearly 85% of those game leading into the final minutes. I will also give this, he could had more GWDs if not for the defense choking.  I feel this is sooooo very clear to people that watch the games. Even the pure only 100% BY fans or his relatives should be able to see this as well.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By countryboi · Posted

      you always push in to the weird position of defending people I dont really like, but you don’t know any employee is a bad fit until it plays out. A lot of folks here were excited when Rhule was hired. He’s clearly good at selling himself, he keeps landing head‑coaching jobs. We also don’t know that Tepper was the driving force behind picking Bryce. The general feeling at the time is that he was the best player, The Teppers part is mostly rumor we’ve treated like fact. And it was 3–4 years ago. Most of us have changed our minds on Bryce like ten times since. Lastly I don’t think he’s calling the shots anymore. He seems looped in, not leading. I worked for the Panthers for about eight months, and I almost never saw him in the office. Dan Morgan and Brandt were there every day. That’s anecdotal, not proof but it suggests Dan is doing most of the work. if you asked me today if the Panthers are going to pay Bryce, I dont see it. He has not played well enough to heavily invest in him.
