I will belive it when I see it. Brining in no one who can play at a backup level doesn't convince me that DC isn't blameless in all that. They literally resigned a guy they knew had so little left after watching him break last year and the year before. 

I'm the same way but I think the heat has finally  showed some cracks in typical Coach speak. Job security  is starting to creep into the picture and the next step in these scenarios  is generally   I NEED MY QB.

Reporter 5 is the one that stands out for me.  The coach speak answer is some form of 100% we do followed by bologna.  But he didn’t do it. 

 

Coach speak is one thing but the amount of absolute nonsense he said in those interviews makes my head hurt.

It's not corporate buzzwordy, sleight of hand stuff.....it's just barely coherent babbling.

I don’t know that he’s telling us anything if he’s emphasizing get the ball out within 2.7 seconds and turnovers that’s going to inherently cause play calling to be conservative.  No I guess it’s possible that if he has Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen back there, it wouldn’t be so concerned about getting the ball out quickly.

That isn't the coaches decision ultimately

If true then that's stupid because our line is playing pretty well

Bryce leash is down to 1 link and a  bad showing Sunday coming is definitely  a nail in the coffin. Ironically  Bryce generally  does ok vs Atlanta but the heat is on. Regardless, the QB room is going to get a remodel next offseason. Wouldn't be surprised  to see Mike White start a game before the seasons up. 

I think we will see White at some point. Once they pull the plug, you can go with Andy and they may a game or two. However, I imagine you want to see somebody not named Bryce Young or Andy Dalton run your offense for once.

White is competent. He’s a 30 year old, very tall, athletic guy who has started before. Has plenty of arm strength and mobility. Has had good and bad games, has won and lost games. 
 

Not the future but the perfect guy to use to measure your offense- if you’re going shopping this spring.

Listening to it, that’s how it sounded right after the game when I was ill and ready to chew thru my hat.

Reading it now, I can see he’s actually trying to say something.  But we all know unless youre about to get fired or can’t be fired you don’t get to say what you want.  He really is telling us what the problems are while remaining diplomatic.  He has to.

Im not trying to absolve DC from anything, but I couldn’t imagine having to try to win football games in the scenario he’s currently in.  He signed up for it, but damn.  That’s a tough spot.

When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them

This part of his answer is the most direct shot at Bryce. 

The Saints were daring us to do anything/everything we could from a vertical standpoint.  THey completely sold out on stopping the run in every aspect.  

Their gameplan showed Bryce ZERO respect...and they were absolutely on point in their gameplan lol.

And if he’s blame sharing, he’s obviously doing it to protect his confidence. Bringing somebody else in this offseason would have done the opposite 

Yeah there is no way they could have brought anyone in that could actually compete with him for the job. For both of his parents being in the mental health space (I think). He's about the most mentally fragile QB I've seen

Yeah it's his friend he works closely with that nominated and hired him. It wasn’t his decision  100% but pretending he didn't have any say is just disingenuous given the setup.

What did you want them to do? Their starting QB is so fuging fragile that any competition would have completely crushed him. They needed to give him this year to prove it. Obviously hindsight proves a poor decision but I understand Morgan's decision. Sure Canales can give input and he might have but ultimately like I said it isn't his call

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By hepcat · Posted

      I didn't hold my tongue...I was out on Bryce LONG before he was drafted by the Panthers. Bryce's game did not translate well to the NFL. I vividly remember the 2022 Texas vs. Alabama game as the prime example of why Bryce would never translate well to the NFL. That was one of the best defeses Alabama played that season, a big chunk of players from that Texas defense are playing in the NFL now, and Bryce struggled all game. If Quinn Ewers didn't get hurt in that game, Texas would have won and the entire Bryce narrative changes.  If anyone wants a reminder, here's the highlights of the game. He looks like EXACTLY the same QB now. Nothing has changed.

      Did they have a backup QB active who has a "broken thumb' on his throwing hand?  Yeah that's on Dave too. Im not even sure they had another active option or why Dalton isn't on IR yet still.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There is something quite similar though about the losses to the Cardinals and Saints. The blowouts tell me something different - I think the team losses confidence against complete teams rapidly.  That is a coaching aspect, but also young players.  Tbh, I can live with that for now if they beat the teams they're supposed to and give a good fight in other games (as they did). But the Cardinals and Saints games were stories of the offense either giving the game away or being unable to do ... Well, anything. While that is on Canales, too, both those games also featured standout (or truthfully standard) performances from our QB early and sometimes across the entire game. I do think it's hard to evaluate Canales when he has a QB that can't or won't execute an NFL offense for huge stretches or entire games. But there are signs of concern. Still, the very fact we had a win streak being a predictable as we were indicates the team has come along. And most of the team showed up vs the Saints, and I really think it's clear that was an incredibly winnable game with a different QB.
