So when are these players gonna step up and suggest replacing #9?  Maybe that's the only way to get it done.

From what we can tell he still hasn’t lost the locker room. He better stop hurting the team with stupid fumbles if he wants that to continue

Canales purposefully doesn't give out game balls.

That's not stopping the players from doing it (reference: this week's locker room vid). Player-led recognition helps build team rather than being an award from the coaches. 

small obs from this week's video? Thought I saw Tep in the back of a shot. Present (which is fine, especially after a win like that), but on video definitely quiet

Sometimes players see things from the field coaches cant see from above. When I was an OL I would often come out after a series and talk to coach about small shifts the defense was making to cheat one way or another and how to adjust plays to take advantage. I suspect many players do the same. Different perspectives allow for different calls.

Im fine with this, I want the guys determined.  People are only critical because we've been ass for so long.  We loved the fire of players wanting stuff like this when we were good.  This is Cam Newton from the atlanta game back in 2017.
 


Its ok for the coach to hear the players passion and let them take charge.  It works 2 ways, it lets players take ownership over the team, makes them FULLY responsible for their actions, but flipside, if it goes wrong, next time it happens, the coach will just go "remember that time".  Its just like any business at that point.  If you want employees to work hard, they need to feel invested in the product and just like that its good that the team feels like they have a stake in the game.

For all the talk of a "dawg" mentality the last couple years. That is precisely it. You want players with the confidence to do this. Those are building blocks.

Yeah but I want the coach to also make adjustments proactively

      Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
