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. 

Maybe but I see it as just frustration. If they only had 2 or 3 wins I would agree with you but my guess is these guys thought they were close before the Saints game. I'll give it a few more weeks like that and see how he is holding up. Tepper probably is the most disappointed which we both know rolls down onto the staff in the worst way.

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 

Or sign a washed Dalton who they watched for 2 years have 1 blah game before coming g apart. It's not hard, go find a playable backup. It's the NFL and not a pickup game of ball. What's hard to understand about that. 

They also had the preseason where they saw Dalton was completely washed and dumped Plumber for Hooker. 

It was a crap decision  and now they have to eat it. Hindsight has nothing to do with it. They gave a washed QB a 2 year contract.

I honestly didn't completely hate re-signing Dalton at the time but preseason was a massive red flag. The response should've been "oh poo, we desperately need a backup QB". He looked BAD.

I was very vocal about it before they resigned him. By the preseason it was too late and now it's just excuses.

He was neither healthy or very good the last 2 years. 1 fun game of simi functional play and then a nose dive into looking really old. I just don't get the mystery here.

Again they sign a playable back up and Bryce would have been done. They are working with a pussy as qb1 and they tried to make it work.

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.

no doubt.  I have zero faith in Bryce Young.  But if the Panthers employed me tomorrow and a reporter point blank asked me if I believed in player Bryce Young being able to do doing Y.....I would at least lie and say yes and then say a bunch of gobbly goo about it's not just about him.   

I thought Dave choosing not to endorse his belief on Bryce when asked straight up there was either he spits SO MUCH bologna he forgot the technical right bologna and isn't even really listening to any questions....or water is just so wet he can't directly lie when it is that narrowed down.

We could've sent a 5th and 7th to Seattle in exchange for Howell and a 6th after seeing Dalton look completely washed for two preseason games but we sat on our hands. Not saying Howell would be our answer but 99/100 Panthers fans would be foaming at the mouth to see him start over Bryce right now if we'd made that move.

There are fans still hoping to see Dalton lol so hell yes we would be doing exactly that. 

It's crazy and I just don't see anyone that doesn't deserve blame for this situation they find themselves in now.

The play calling and now the words have been strongly suggesting that Canales is trying to navigate his way through a lack of a QB.

Yeah, it reads as a coach being forced to play a QB who can’t do the things he wants him to do, so it’s almost like a game of chicken with ownership.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
