Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

[Jay Roosevelt]

He's almost certainly gone, but I will say McDaniel did seem to get the most out of Tua at QB.

I feel like Tua is basically what Bryce's ceiling is with an actual innovative offensive mind calling plays for him. Tua has better size, but they both have similar arm strength limitations.

Sounds eerily familiar. 

Yea the Dolphins and us are like this

Also one of the things that might keep McD around all year is their offense (as putrid as it is) is designed very specifically to protect tua and take advantage of their track star wrs and rbs. 

they probably don’t have the personnel to just line up under center and run the ball like happens with most interim head coaches.

Someone has to pay the blood cost of losing to the Panthers, happens every rare time they win. Carolina Reapers…?

The Panthers are the lone bullet in the chamber of NFL Russian roulette.  If you lose to us, it's over.

Easily. Caleb Williams looks more and more like a Jameis Winston clone every week.

Easily?  Jayden Daniels was offensive rookie of the year last year, and Bo Nix looks good as well.

Easily may have been a bit much, but I think Maye ends up being better than Daniels. Nix will be solid, but not elite long-term, IMO.

Fair enough, but these things are so hard to predict.

They'd never do it, because it really would be insane to do, but if I'm the Commanders, I'd seriously consider trading Daniels after this season, especially as he'd get a HUGE return for him.

He's RG3 part 2, with his body type and style of game, I just can't see how he holds up long term, he's going to end up having a seriously injury prone career.

It would take some massive balls (or pure insanity) to pull the trigger on trading him, but I do think 5 years from now it would be looked back upon as a smart trade.

A coach and GM would never survive a year or two after making that trade. You’d lose the locker room on top of losing the majority of games. 

If he ends up being injury prone that isn’t a coach’s / GM’s fault. If anything you’d be more likely to keep your job if he’s injury prone as it gives you an out for the season(s) spinning down the drain.

Oh 100%, totally get it, I'm just saying I can't see how he stays healthy with the way he'd built and the way he plays

bryce coach killa young kills any coachs career playing for them and against them.

Tua has a much better arm. Threw that long TD to waddle. What’s Bryce’s longest completion this year and what’s Tuas?

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was less than thrilled after the Miami Dolphins lost against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 27-24, dropping their record to 1-4 on the season.

"He was really frustrated, just like I was," head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. "We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was really the extent of it."
