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.

That would also make them part of the problem. Your almost there

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.

      Mike White or Hendon Hooker coming back?

      By strato · Posted

      Absent proof that he absolutely  concurred 100% with his superior, there is nothing that can change my opinion.  Also, I would appreciate it if you would not lay the motivation for that opinion on wanting Morgan to succeed because he is an ex Panther. I do want hi. To succeed because of that and just because he is the GM of my favorite team, but I have enough independent thinking ability to separate my feelings down what Insee.    I said many times before Morgan ever made GM or before Bryce was chosen that I could not believe and ex player could endorse that decision. I was speaking of Reich but also a MLB? Really? I feel like any ex high level defensive guy would be salivating at the prospect  of facing a Bryce in a game.   Whether an ex Panther, a Giant, a Buc, whatever jersey they wore.

      Stats clearly reveal that the Panthers are among the least efficient passing teams in the NFL

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Years ago there use to be a website called Cold Hard Football Facts.com. I used to hang out there to read the articles and their interpretation of the football data. After the midseason point, when teams had generated enough data to set trends, these guys could predict the winner of game 75% of the time using nothing but statistical data. They said the single most important piece of data for passing efficiency is Yards per attempt. "I think" they said any team at 7.0 yds/attempt or higher would usually be among the top 10 teams in the NFL year in and year out if even if they only had an average defense. The lower the number, the least successful the team. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/passing/table/passing/sort/yardsPerPassAttempt/dir/desc If you toggle the column and arrange it from best to worst the data clearly proves their point. Nearly every team above 7.0 this season (16 in all)  has a strong chance of making the playoffs with the possible exceptions of Washington and Dallas. Washington has been decimated by injuries this year and Dak's excellent season is being overlooked because the Cowboy defense can't stop anyone in 2025. The teams below 7.0 are clearly the tier 2 and tier 3 teams in the NFL with the exception of Denver which is currently sitting atop the AFC West at 8-2.
