Derrick Brown is the Leader of this Team

Make no mistake, the offense is potentially salvageable this season, the defense absolutely is not.

If we could keep them off the field with some sustained drives that resulted in TDs instead of FG's I think that would at least keep us out of the top 10 worst defenses in the NFL. I also think they'd play harder if the thought they could win if they could hold the opponent to 24 points or less.

I am sorry but if you watch that game and look at our roster, this D is going to be very bad.

We did not play a difficult offense yesterday.

If the injuries to Wharton, Bobby Brown, and Patrick Jones keep all or some of them of them out for a significant amount of time… this defense might compete with last year for worst of all time. Just shameful with or without Derrick Brown. Dude has 0 help out there.

I think Canales gets too much blame as well. He was hired to "fix Bryce". At least for now, Tepper isn't going to let him bring in a guy who has a legitimate shot at taking his job. Bryce is limited in his talent, which limits what Canales can do in games. We've all seen plays where guys were open but BY failed to see them or made a bad throw. Put Cam Newton in this offense with the exact same players and we'd easily average 3 TDs a game and probably contend for the NFC South. Take the same team and add in Greg Olsen type talent at TE...we'd win the NFC South.

I think you are right... BY is not Canales "guy" he is working with what he has. Hopefully BY turns into the guy but if he sucks this year next offseason we are QB shopping. I think Canales is our coach almost no matter what next year regardless of this years result. 

Not to derail the conversation, but time also allows us to forget that Cam was never a great thrower of the football.

You know what they say about good intentions.  By stacking the offense for Young and basically ignoring the defense, Bryce is going to have to play catch up nearly every game all season and we can all guess how that's going to work out.  He's his best in a lead and can lean on an effective rushing attack.  I just don't see that happening very often with this mess of a defense.

I do feel bad for the defense and even Evero to an extent.  Derrick Brown is going to need to be a one man wrecking crew.

100% agree the offense constantly puts the d in horrible positions.  Give them a decent offense that isnt constantly turning the ball over and the defense would look alot better.

We ran the ball well yesterday. I thin kif we can get a lead we can maintain it. Yesterday just looked like everyone was trying to hard to make plays and then made mistakes. 

Evero.. Im willing to give him the season to see what he can do.. but he needs to make this a top 20 unit to not get fired.

Ok that pretty much settles that we cannot pay him. If we have to have a stacked offense and a stacked defense for him to succeed it's impossible unless he wants to play for the league minimum.

Dan Morgan talks about wanting Dawgs, he got B*tches instead.

We are going to blow up the team again and trade everyone ain’t we?  I have been a fan of this team for almost 30 years but I’m not being entertained and I spend way too much money on this team.  I might finally walk away from football and save poo ton of money by not watching that eyesore on Sunday.

Not much to blow up or trade. I stopped spending money on the Panthers and it's been wonderfully liberating. As for what we witness in a season skipping some games and enjoying life a little is what they call self care. Seasons used to fly by and now it's a marathon.

Are you sure, because I keep getting the feeling it’s Nick Scott
