I speculated about a power struggle over the D after reflecting on Canales saying he was pushing  for the young guys to play and watching the next couple of weeks. 
If I were a coach and a subordinate defies me by playing a player I would cut the player and tell him okay now you have to play the young guys.

Trading up for DJ Johnson was pre-planned

The Panthers' trade up for Oregon pass rusher DJ Johnson received a lot of criticism around the league and especially around the city. He only had one full year of playing the position and only posted six sacks. That said, the combination of his freakish athleticism and raw power are what gave the front office conviction to go up and get him.

More interestingly, Frank Reich told Fitterer and Dan Morgan in the video to go back to his office at the end of the night to look at the whiteboard where it had Johnson's name circled with a note beside it to trade up. This shows that they didn't panic when pass rushers were starting to fly off the board and just aimlessly traded up to make sure they got one. They went up to get a guy they liked and planned on doing so.

 

 

 

 

go to minute 32  "good player"

 

we are so fuged

Unpacking that whole dynamic is really something. First of all how everyone there is so used to David and Nicole Tepper just being completely involved that it's just another day. Then Dan Morgan just being a complete and utter yes man to his former best friend Scott Fitterer. At the end of the day all of these people are just sycophants to ownership. Nothing will improve until they completely remove themselves from the equation or sell the team.

The Nicole Tepper piece is not a joke btw...

Chief Administrative Officer of Tepper Sports and Entertainment and wife of owner David Tepper, Nicole has played an integral part behind the scenes in recent years. From establishing a healthy culture within the organization to attending pro days, Tepper's been a highly-acclaimed member of the Carolina braintrust.

Establishing a "healthy culture within the organization" they said.

      Would you swap keeping Burns for Horn?

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Burns quit on his team, full stop. Burns was and continues to be a liability in the run.    JC has never looked this bad before the concussion. He always was a very solid tackler, from what I remember.  I’ll take the overall body of his work over his current down stretch. I’ve never had to question his heart. The FO has royally screwed up roster management in many other deals but retaining Horn continues to be the right move. He will be back to form next season.

      I get it. I was making a joke that we have zero chance of winning.

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      Did Bryce play bad? Yes. Did the whole offense play bad? Yes.  Was Canales bad with his playcalling? Yes. Now with that being said I don't put this loss solely on Bryce Young. The seahawks are a much more talented team than us and to win in a scenario like that you need some luck which we didn't have that day.  Bryce has shown this year that you can win with him at QB but the problem is that he doesn't have the ability to elevate the rest of the team around him. Bryce was a number 1 overall pick who we traded a haul of assets to get going into the end of his 3rd year the expectations need to be much higher than 54 yards passing.  It's been nice to get some wins this year and have a chance to make the playoffs and Bryce has played a part in that but at some point the front office needs to see that you can't keep giving Bryce a pass for these low production games.
