Dan needs to churn

Well, it's not like a newsflash that we need depth. But after today, I think it may be worse than we imagined. Talking about churning the bottom of the roster, hell we probably need to do a little more than "the bottom." It's reminiscent of last preseason as far as I'm concerned. Dan Morgan needs to be extra active during final cuts,  and perhaps remake---at least reimagine some position groups at the backup level.

IDK why people consistently fight against the idea that this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history.

It just is what it is. No reason to freak out.

Evaluate the players in 2025, move on.

I mean, I can't say that people are  "consistently fighting" against the idea as much as we're waiting to see how things turn out, especially in regards to rookies and second-year players. I mean, if we blow, we blow, but I ain't 100 percent accepting that we're going to suck based on a few preseason snaps. I have way too much experience watching the NFL for that. Hell, some guys ain't even playing in earnest yet.

You can't have credibility about churning the bottom of the roster and retain Dalton and Plummer. 

Yeah, that's kind of the point, but we must remember that we were so gutted as far as talent that rebuilding will take extra effort and won't happen overnight.

The last time we only scored one touchdown in preseason, 2010. 
 

Game three better be right or we are screwed again, and Bryce is gone. 
 

unpopular take, see what the Browns want for Shedeur. Run him as third QB for the year, see what you have with him next year. If he doesn’t work out, he doesn’t work out but if he does, you basically offset some of the cost to get Bryce. 
 

I know it’s preseason and I’m trying not to overreact but it doesn’t look good fellas.

Maybe the entire issue is……all the Fitterer era folks shouldn’t still be running the show.  Which they are. 

Fit was just Tepper's yes man and fall guy

but its hard to build a good roster when you trade away all those first and second round picks/DJ Moore for Bryce and then use the remaining draft picks on TMJ, Mingo, DJ johnson, Matt Corral

It's insane to be trading for a #3 QB. 

Ride this out, move on to 2026.

Well unfortunately there isn't much to actually churn because if we're being honest Dan hasn't exactly been great at drafting. I mean every year we look at our picks and put on our homer shades but he really isn't breaking the mold after the disaster that was Scott Fitterer. And as bad as Fitterer was it's not a good sign that even he made a better attempt at bringing in QB competition over the years than Dan did this year. Now that stings.

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
