Yea, I think the oline has played above expectations especially considering injuries, it was more specifically in response to the comment saying bryce was behind the highest paid oline as a way to knock bryce.

Yeah, this is definitely not the game for Bryce haters to rage at Bryce. Long drives for the saints+ poo play calling on offense lost us the game

This loss wasn't on Bryce defense and that wack zone got shredded. 

Canales trusted Bryce to get 1st downs on critical 3rd downs. Bryce decided he was a running QB. Go check out the ALL 22 and see what Bryce missed and how open the play call was on those 3rd downs. Canales trusted Evero to win the game if Bryce and the OL couldn't deliver 1st downs. Seems this is the way you want a HC to maneuver a team with the lead in 4Q. If the QB can't execute the plays and decides he's running it, and the DC can't call a defense to stop a rookie QB, you can't put it on the HC.

I think the the concern is that this was a good game for BRYCE STANDARDS.  The problem is and forever will be is that Bryce standards will only get you so far and a lot of other things (some you just named) have to go right for those standards to be good enough. We needed more than that today even with the playcalling and defense whatever else you want to name. In the end, The game was close and winnable. I think that's what folks keep pointing out and that's the best way to explain it.

Franchise QB over everything else.

You can always hire another DC.

You can't consistently overcome your #1 pick being outplayed and swept by a guy the league resoundingly clowned them for drafting. He ain't the guy. It is what it is.

We're at least a year away from any chance of making a permanent change at quarterback, and probably longer.

While we're waiting on that moment, we definitely need to shore up other areas.

You have to pay for all-22 yeah? I'd love to look at some of them but I don't really want to pay to get pissed off lol

      Panthers have a Jalen Coker problem.

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Jalen is the most productive receiver in the league per routes run. now obviously this is just routes run/total yards and the scheme can play havoc with this calculation but he’s in good company. Puca is number 2.  im not sure that x axis is relevant, but my god Metcalf is just getting mugged.     Per next gen stats Jalen reached the top speed in the playoffs. Newton’s first law of motion stays winning. Coker was also the best looking player on the field against the rams. To me he looks just like a young anquan boldin.  Coker made just over 830k in 2025. He is an Exclusive rights free agent in 2026. This means if the panthers tender him with a one year contract based on the league minimum, he has to play here or nowhere else. He’s not allowed (wink wink) to negotiate with other teams   In 2025 the ERFA was 1.03 million, or 3.1% what Joe person claims Bryce Young is worth annually. three years is the cutoff to become vested in the NFL pension, with higher benefits per year accrued after that. For those that have never heard of a pension, back in the day before boomers “two in the heart, one in the head’d” future generations, your job handled your retirement.  Three years of service also unlocks a whopping five years of health insurance; big deal for a player who still qualifies for his parents coverage. Great system, NFL. Roman gladiators were treated better. Electro, I just became a fan when Bryce got here and I can only name three people on the team. Why does this matter? NFL players don’t make money for very long. 40% never get a second contract. A season ending injury can happen at any moment, especially when your qb is a blimp commander who can’t see over the offensive line. Ickey was in line for a massive payday that he absolutely earned. He lost generational wealth (Chris rock joke here) with that patellar injury and who knows if he’ll ever play the same again. He’s certainly not going to get that new contract which is rough but it’s the way things go. Coker absolutely should not play another down for the Carolina panthers without a new contract. He just had a huge coming out on the national stage and has the numbers and tape to back it up. He's the best wide receiver on the team. Yes I know tet got (a very chintzy) thousand yards but Coker is pound for pound the better player. And that’s saying something because Jalen loves him some orange chicken. If he was a free agent this year he’d be the top WR on the market. Panthers have a lot of (honestly very easy) cap choices to make. For whatever reason they’ve already verbally committed to Bryce’s fifth year and are floating a three year extension. They’ve started hemorrhaging offensive linemen, soul of the team JJ Jansen will need his 1.4 million if he comes back, and of course you gotta lock down Leadership Council stalwart Christian Rozeboom. I would argue that instead of giving the worst qb in the league over the past three years another fuging dime you lock up and reward Jalen Coker. This shows the rest of the team that production is valued, regardless of draft position, and keeps Jalen in the building and team training program. Again, Jalen likes to eat. Will the panthers recognize this? I wish I could say the panthers head coach is good at evaluating wide receivers but….yeah. Also Canales let him clear waivers to begin with. Anyway Jalen should be the top contract priority fug Bryce fug Canales Hail Satan

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By Navy_football · Posted

      The padded practice restrictions have definitely impacted the game. 14 padded practices during the 18 weeks season and no more than one per week. That's crazy to me. But... As for Legette, he probably is in the best place possible to learn under those restrictions. But drills will only go so far. And it really isn't drills for him. It's knowing all the little intricancies of how to be a WR. That only comes from game experience, in my opinion. Being put in different situations at game speed. Hopefully he puts everything into this offseason. I'm cheering for him. This team needs him.

      It's because he's too dumb to know how to use either
