Writing on the wall tells me this has been about Canales and Morgan having to convince Tepper his players are not good for the team. Canales can manage players like Dalton, Thielen, and Chuba, but they aren't going to make for a winning foundation. They've had to prove early in the offseason/season that Tepper's favorites like Bryce, Miles, Johnson, Ekwonu, Mingo, TMJ, Thomas and Tremble are not the answer. Canales wasn't afforded the opportunity to chose his QB for his system. Why would Tepper want competition for Bryce? Canales is showing he can produce quickly with his players in XL, Coker, and J.Sanders. I hope Brooks shows the same level of quick development under Canales. I'm sure Morgan is wrestling with Tepper to replace the defensive side of Tepper's failures. We're witnessing an internal struggle of the owner needing to be proven wrong by Canales and Morgan before giving them their QB, RB, OL, and defense. A long process, but Tepper's been conceding to Canales and Morgan. Did you notice Ian Thomas has been sent to the bottom of the depth chart? Progress. When we see a new starting offense of a Canales QB, Jonathan Brooks, XL, Thielen, Coker, Moore, and Sanders then we can begin to evaluate Canales. Also, need to fix the OL pass blocking issue for a Canales offense to consistently work.

I have no doubt DJ was another Tepper player favorite Canales had to prove was bad for the team.

I'd say it was more a message to Tepper and his meddling with coaches. I get the feeling Payton didn't agree during their January 2023 meeting with the direction Tepper wanted to take the offense and their personnel before they blew up the entire franchise for Bryce. Canales has had zero power. He is working with Tepper's pieces. Ian Thomas is a prime example. No way does Thomas remain through 3 coaches and 3 GMs. Ownership has to be the main factor and Payton wants Tepper to know publicly that he failed this franchise, the fans, the players and the coaches.

Bryce, Evero, Ekwonu, Horn are all next up before Canales. If Canalea goes, then Dan Morgan goes with him. Need to stop piecing a team together and hope a championship culture appears. Let Canales choose his QBs to run his system and let Morgan reset the entire defense with both Canales and Morgan choosing their DC. They get 2 years to show progress from that point.

Bryce stans are pleading for more misery? Do you not see week to week what rookie and 2nd year QBs are expected to do? Josh Rosen would be an upgrade over Young. There are QBs sitting on other teams benches that are better than Bryce. Give it up. He's done. How many starts do you afford a QB with ZERO consistent production before moving on? Josh Allen and Pat Mahomes just hit start 100. Young is at 20. Are you going another 20? Montana only needed 6 starts. Brady needed 10 starts. Jayden Daniels needed 7 starts. CJ Stroud needed 9 starts. Do you see how these QBs make it known they can lead and turn around a bad team in year 1? There's many more like this, and remember there are only 64 QBs to make a championship game in the past 35 seasons. How many starts did it take Delhomme and Cam? Cam was on his way to RoY and PB by week 10 on a Jimmy Clausen rebuild. Clausen was done after 10 starts. Is Bryce that much better than 2nd round pick Clausen?

When UDFAs come in and outshine the drafted receivers, it's time to rethink your scouting department

Why does Bryce have a C on his jersey? Gift from the Teppers?

I'd rather have 55 year old Todd Marinovich at QB than Bryce "Super Bust" Young

How did Bryce fool so many people? Some of us saw exactly what he was coming out of college.

Crushed store brand chips pulled from the store dumpster out back

Clowney is just watching the game now while on the field

Perfect underthrow for the INT

That looked like a football move and control

He's jump passing again for 2 yard passes

If that's the pocket to step up in, doesn't that mean the LT is suppose to push the defender to the outside and not shuffle into the pocket? Are you excusing the LT from letting a defender cross his face easily into the pocket?

Do you not pay attention to the pass blocking? That was awful. Horrible feet and hugging. Always an easy path to the inside gap on an island

Ekwonu escorting the defender to Bryce. Those feet are awful in pass blocking. Another drive killed by Ekwonu

Coker looking better than TMJ, Mingo & XL in just weeks. Guarantee you Josh Vann would have been shining like Coker if given the chance. Had to waste time on TMJ and Mingo.

Bryce still thinking his HS and college gimmick play will work?

Trade value on Bryce drops even more after this game

Letting Hekker pass over Bryce at that spot on the field says it all

Bryce hanging his head again

Ekwonu has to kill a couple drives a game

The Panthers would be more competitive if they purged the roster and filled it by raiding every teams practice squad

Is Young the worst 1st round QB of the past 10 drafts? I'm thinking Josh Rosen, Paxton Lynch and Mac Jones are all better. Huge miss by trading the big bag.
