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.

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
