I think former players are justified in using the term we when referring to former teams, especially when they spent their whole career with them

Devil's advocate:  I played for Winterfield in Pop Warner.  I do not call them we.  

 

Seriously:  I had the same thought,

His play calling and time management at times has been suspect but the organization has been extremely stable under his stewardship. Not sure how you can disagree with Kuechly on that point.

Stability in terms of culture and whatnot sure we are night and day from the Rhule foolishness. In terms of playcalling and in game management and needing to somehow reflect on the fact he should have kept the hot hand going when Rico Dowdle was playing as well as he was ehhhhhhh. He's also led us to the 30th and 26th passing offenses the last two years. And he needed other teams to do the lifting for us just to win a pitiful iteration of the NFCS. Dave Canales has as much to prove in his third year as just about anyone else in the league.

That is true, but I cannot overlook what he has been given at QB. 

A question that is likely to never be answered: what plays would he call if he had a QB that isn’t so limited?

Dave Canales has been HC for his current team longer than half of the league.  So, when you look at it that way, it is stable situation.

Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement.

Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

This whole thing is good but I time set it to start when they shift the subject to fits, schemes, etc. 

I am really big on continuity and they address that on the way out of this little conversation. 
 

It is a lot about the combine at first and Luke is just so good at communicating and smart about stuff, I would listen to him talk about most anything. I watched the whole thing.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By frankw · Posted

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "

      this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
