What I really like about Hubbard is if the hole isn't there he puts his head down and makes one. Several times yesterday it looked like he was going to get dropped for a minimal gain and he grounded out extra yards. That type of play opens the entire playbook.

It will be interesting to see who is still available at #4. There could be a player someone drastically needs and will be willing to give up a nice haul to get him. Getting an extra round one pick in 2026 would be nice.

First of all, I think we should fix as many areas as possible other than QB going into 2025. Young has played well the 2nd half of the season and needs more evaluation. I think DL should be our focus whether it is Graham or Carter with our 1st pick. I wouldn't be sad if we used our 2nd round pick on another D-Lineman. It will be much easier to get a WR on a one- or two-year free agent contract than to pick a WR that could be JAG. This also gives XL and Coker another year to develop. Our free agent picks in 2024 for the D-Line were, IMO, designed to complement Brown. Once Brown went out those players were mediocre. We need to have insurance in case Brown comes back and doesn't perform to his pre-injury play. Sadly, I think we should move on from Evero. He doesn't seem to have the heart for this team.

Here's the thing that bothered me about Canales play calling that bothered me. Olsen said it several times during the game. Why wasn't he calling play action more. Having Young in shotgun wasn't helping our running game and gave the defense time to tee off on Young. I like Canales but play action needs to be more prevalent in our offense.

Canales's game plan was horrendous. Dallas came at us from all directions and the ENTIRE team played poorly. Maybe a bit overconfident. This game reminds me of the beginning of the season. We'll see if we rebound next week or Bryce just had 3 good games.

As a fan why watch if you just want them to lose? While I understand that you want a higher draft pick, I can't turn on the game and hoping to lose. Especially this week. I want the Panthers to destroy the Cowboys.

I was believing that he was a bust but his performance against TB, KC and Philly has put me on his bandwagon. I just hope Morgan realizes that our offensive line has to be as good as this one is. Young will never be able to carry a team like Cam had to with a mediocre line. As players retire and move through free agency Morgan has to continue to give Young a great offensive line. IMO this will determine whether he'll be a franchise QB.

It's only meaningless to fans that are looking for our next draft pick. NFL players don't spend their lives working to be the best to intentionally play 50% to ensure a high draft pick. Each week when the whistle blows I want to see us win. I am not upset too much if we give a good effort and lose but I want us to win. The Cowboys are a Hated team in Panther nation and hoping we lose to them shows you're not much of a Panther fan.

I'll stick with Bryce. Winston seems to go blind sometimes. He throws pics that a pee wee leaguer could pick off. Sometimes he just doesn't see the defender.

I'm excited about Young's direction but I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon that he's turned the corner. 3 or 4 games only says he's done well for a small period. MY opinion is, if he finishes the season doing well, we don't draft a QB in round one and he's QB1 going into the 2025 season. If he plays questionable than all options are on the table.

I'm very optimistic about Young and hope he continues to improve. What I like. Seems to be trusting the play and getting the ball out quickly. Trusting his weapons and those weapons seem to be improving with him. He has a good offensive line and this must be our number one priority as long as Young is our QB. His height is not much of a problem. Equal amount of batted balls. His confidence grows each week. What concerns me. Will defenses figure out Young and he reverts back to his old self. Would still like to see him stretch the field more often. This is just a string of good luck.

Based on the last couple of weeks we shouldn't waste a top pick on a QB. If Young reverts back to last year and weeks 1 and 2 the rest of the season than of course we should entertain a new QB. We need upgrade our defense. More D-linemen help and linebackers. Our depth is terrible.

It's hard not to think this way. Jones played himself into a nice payday and then disappeared. I think he's earned to right to start 2025 but any regression should trigger Daniel Jones flashbacks. Young's future will go as his offensive line goes. If Morgan and Company believe Young can be our franchise QB they better ensure we have a great O-line in front of him. I have seen major improvements since his return. Trying to be mistakes free and making good decisions. He made some terrific throws today.

Honestly I think our next win will be against Dallas. They are in shambles. They are, IMO, worse than we are. They were expecting to be a playoff team and we are in rebuild mode. I'd like to see us competitive against our remaining schedule and go from there.
