4 to 6 games into the season, do we know this teams identity?

What I have seen are resilient players who fight for 60 minutes. A defense that needs to be turned loose and play man instead of zone. A defensive  line who are solid and what I have longed for from the Panthers for years. And an offense capable of coming back and scoring in the last 2 minutes.

There does seem to be some resiliency with this team. Saw it in the Arizona game. That would lead one to believe that these players believe in the process Canales is trying to convey. That being said, it is a very fickle league, along with the locker room. It's up to these young players to evolve the process! I like what I'm seeing from some of our young players. Handling adversity is also a part of that. That's where the leaders/emerging leaders in the locker room come in. Just keep playing with tenacity!

The young guys clearly believe, and damn so they fight hard!

This looks like the very type of offense Canales had been saying he wanted to have from the beginning. Also a bit like when Wilks was the interim coach. If it nets us wins, then I am not complaining.

Cowboys and Phins have defenses on par with the 2024 Panthers.  I think that has a fair amount to do with Rico Dowdle looking like prime Adrian Peterson out of nowhere.

We can't control who we play against. We can control what we do with the ball. If your back can go off like this, then yeah, feed that guy while you can.

True, but the rest of the schedule doesn’t feature the Phins and the Cowboys defense.  A weak practice squad RB just went off on the Phins today.   

the formula the last 2 weeks isn’t going to yield the same results as we keep going.  Odds certainly favor the biggest factor being horrific defense playing a bigger role than Rico being Adrian Peterson suddenly 

We still are going to have to figure out this pass offense.

Just like with Wilks, the more talented teams will likely beat us. But at least we can compete and beat the people we are suppose to beat. Raise it from there.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
