kinda agree with this. I just don't think it's as much physical as we tend to think. It's his reluctance to push the ball downfield that irks the heck out of me sometimes. Like just give your guys a chance. What's the worst that can happen?

OTs early but really good IOL is almost always available 4th round and beyond. Heck UDFA is a great time to pick up guys that need a year or 2 before you pencil them in as starters.

Coker made Thielen expendable. Now that he's back, there really isn't a place for Thielen anymore. Still a really skilled player, but his athleticism is no longer NFL-WR level.

The 2026 draft is going to be OL heavy. Team needs everything. Unless guys are willing to take cap friendly deals to stay, they'll be traded a year early or released when the cap hit isn't crippling. That's the NFL.

vs Matt Stafford's actual wide open that sailed out of bounds:

Stafford missed that same throw to his TE earlier in the game. Lofted it right out of bounds. And he was actually wide open. TMac was far from wide open before the ball was released and the CB was in perfect position. The pass was in a place the CB didn't expect it to be for that pass.

Come on LG... That's literally every QB in the NFL's Achilles heel. Brees and Brady too.

I don't know. Still think they could upgrade the LB room. Standup and Edge types.

They could really win out if Canales keeps his head on calling plays. They just beat the Rams without Jaycee, Moehrig or Rozeboom on defense. Running game is waking up and finally looking like what we thought it would be before the season started, with a great 1-2 punch running the ball. Bryce isn't focusing on TMac as much now with Coker getting back up to speed (he's really our best WR right now, but TMac has the higher ceiling). I think this opens everything up. If they can start taking some deep shots to Jimmy Horn, I think we'll start to see their best football.

It's ok to say the player you don't like had a good game, but you still don't like him. Especially when he's breaking positive records for your favorite team and helping to win games. Yall funny sometimes. Not funny haha, funny weird.

Nope

Yeah last night was just a bad look for Bryce. Had every chance in the world to show us... something. Nothing to do with physical limitations. Nothing to do with defenses having him figured out. It's just him being wildly inconsistent and playing too conservatively for today's NFL. I think Canales understands they could have won the game with Rico and Chuba, but he wanted/needed to see if Bryce could step up. He did not and this could really be the beginning of the end of his time in Carolina - at least as the unquestioned starter.

Canales is calling too many conservative pass plays instead of just handing the ball to Rico

How was that not DPI? He was holding has arm down.

This secondary is on their a$$es!

Makes no sense. Rico getting at least 5 yards a carry and then you stop giving it to him. And then you just take him out the game. Canales is blowing this game.

That was the playcall. Canales is getting too cute

Jesus Dave. WTF?!

This ain't hard. Run Rico.

Run the freaking ball!!

Run the freaking ball!!

Defense is gonna have to score tonight. Let's go!!!

What the Fug!!!!! How?!!!

Man Canales is getting way too cute today. Way too cute.

Run the effing ball!!!
