I don't think there is any chance.  I think the moment he sent that tweet that was critical of coaching, Canales immediately went back to a 50/50 backfield.  

Which stinks because Rico was my fantasy gamechanger that was putting me over the top

Best timed?  Yes.  I always hope for a late season bye and it was perfect this year.

Also, likely the best bye we've had.  At least I don't recall another where Panthers fans were able to have that much shockingly good fun watching the bad guys lose, nor one where it moved us atop the division.

 

Despite the lows, this season will always hold some of our all-time favorite Panther memories:

There is, of course, the (not just one, but TWO) shocking upset games,

Our Black Friday best bye ever

Not just sweeping, but completely shutting out the Falcons in one game and setting our passing yards record against them in the second game,

Rico's insane two-game stretch, even calling his shot before Dallas.

 

Crazy bi-polar season.

Hunt hasn't yet been designated to have practice window open.  I dont think he plays any more thos season.

 

"He's getting closer," Canales stated. "We're not gonna open up his window this week. But he's getting closer, he's getting stronger and would love to see him back at some point over this next stretch."

I hope we don't rush him back, even in the middle of a playoff push. Not worth losing him for next season too.

And as a Hubbard owner my season was shot anyways.  By the time he started to come back my season's over.

Rosenbloom- back

 Mays- back

Horn- back

 Cherlus - back

Moehrig- back

a week of rest with only 4 weeks to go

 

 Way better then the early byes we’re accustomed to getting, dare I say one of the best timed bye’s in franchise history

Only if we take advantage of it. If we come out and stink it up, meh…

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
