The keep getting pounded mentality is still alive and though...

Really bad optics, but I get it.   Zero chance to win with only some stat padding and/or injury as the possible outcomes.  I could see at least pulling the starters and running the ball with the backups instead of kneeling it out.

There wasn’t zero chance, and that’s the problem. Was there a good chance? Certainly not. But you’re teaching your team to give up when they THINK something is UNLIKELY. That’s not Panthers football. That’s not Keep Pounding. It is also an even bigger problem because much of the head coach’s messaging revolves around finishing, how you finish, etc. He just lost his message with that move.

Yes, with probability there's never zero chance, but come on dude, we have sucked all game and were supposed to score 3x in just over 2 minutes with no time outs?  This ain't Disney.

So put in Dalton and run FB dive three times like every other team in the nfl

I would have had zero issues with that, along with the other backups in there too.  Our luck, Moton tears his ACL on a Dalton QB dive.

Ive never seen something that rose to the level of cuckoldry as I did today.  I’m not a Tepper guy, but I’d drag Dave Canales into my office by his ear and verbally abuse him for hours.

That should never under any circumstances happen AT HOME in front of the HOME FANS.

Very near a fireable offense.  Don’t ever ever do that poo again.

did not want to risk injuring our franchise elite deep throwing Qb ...just saying

The real question is... If we are down 10 with 2 minutes left against the bucs/in the playoffs, does Canales kneel the ball to run the clock out again?

The answer... Probably, because the dude is an absolute moron of a head coach
