Maybe I can help you through whatever issue you're having. I've got a pretty good track record of helping folks resolve home improvement/repair issues on here...

The fridge gets cool but never cold. And the freezer gets really bad iceburn which I think is because the rubber seal along the side doesn't seal completely and things melt-freeze-melt consistently.

From what I've read about the fridge is that it's probably a sensor.

The rubber seal is an easy DIY fix once you order the correct replacements. Have you checked the temperature setting for the fridge to see if any changes you make are having any effect? If you change the internal fridge temp control and the temp doesn't seem to be changing, then you're right, there's a sensor going bad.

Ive dealt with a ton of fridge repairs Since I'm pretty handy and it cost so much to repair, it's usually not worthwhile after 75-90 to figure out issue, 25-200 for part with compressor not working or low on freon being worst plus the cost of actual repair.

I can offer some advice if you post model number, but some quick basics. Usually all your air goes to freezer and a little passage toward back middle brings enough air to fridge part to make it cool. If you have ice in freezer, that most probably eliminates most of big stuff, ie compressor, freon, etc. If your fridge is not getting cold and you're getting some melt, what can happen is ice will block the passage from freezer to fridge. I also had this happen when one of my tenant spilled something liquid in freezer and it froze in passage.

If you're getting melt in freezer and your seal is bad, those are fairly cheap and easily replaced, most just snap in perimeter of door after pulling out old one.

Finally, what do you mean by "ice burn"? If you're getting buildup of ice in freezer, it could be a bad defroster assuming its a frost free which almost all are.

One of the easiest things to do without any work is put all your food in cooler with some ice to empty entire fridge, unplug it and leave door open with a fan blowing in it. Give it half a day to defrost completely and clean.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

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

      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, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. 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.

      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.
