Just wanted to share a rumor today I saw on walterfootball.com. I know some people don't like this site but this guy knows someone in the Panther's org bc last year he called them not selecting a DT leading up to the draft. He even mentioned that they would not select one and they didn't even though everyone had Fletcher Cox mocked to us.

So take it with a grain of salt.

Here's the link:

Here's what was said:

"April 9: Sheldon Richardson and Xavier Rhodes are the favorites to go No. 14 to the Panthers, but Tavon Austin and Kenny Vaccaro are also in play. - Panthers source"

but we have yet to meet with 3 of those guys, so the next 2 weeks should be interesting.

If you go by the list of players we have met with or are scheduled to meet with, Austin is the only guy.

This seems to be a popular opinion with the anti-Richardson crowd (in particular), but the reality is that we have no idea whether or not we have met with the other guys. We only know what the media tells us, and they only know what they have been told (usually by the agents). Not every meeting is advertised. Also we surely met with them at the combine, and I am sure we attended their pro days. So it isn't like we have ignored them, even if we haven't had a formal meeting...yet. Not to mention that the biggest part is the scouting and research that the team does.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
