The real question is are any football people making this decision or is it Dave and Nicole deciding the future of the franchise again?

No. What myself and many others want is for Bryce to show some form of consistency. Vs Atl he has the best game of his career followed up by shitting the bed on prime time. Most of his games have been bad with the occasional good half performance thrown in here and there. What I and many other "haters" were calling for was a single complete year of relatively consistent play from our QB to be able to say with certainty, extend him or cut him. We're in the same place now as we were st the beginning of the year. QB purgatory. Who knows what he is? The only thing you can say with any certainty is he's consistently inconsistent.

Bryce has been protected from competition unlike any other QB in the NFL, probably ever. We've consciously hurt our team to keep any other QB who might play better away from this team. Andy Dalton and Jack Plummer were not the 2 best QBs available for camp this summer. Id argue they weren't in the top 60.

I believe David Tepper is the worst owner in the history of sports. The only thing he's proven so far is whatever he thinks, do the opposite. DC is here because any other legitimate hire turned down the offer to coach the Panthers. He wasn't and still isn't ready. Morgan is the remnants of the worst GM office in Panthers and probably football history. An independent 3rd party decided he was the best candidate based on what exactly? Certainly not his history with Fittershits. Ultimately I think Tepper quadruples down and offers Bryce a 45m AAV extension for 5 years and sinks the Panthers even lower than they are now. Bryce is not a franchise QB but people see a game like this and think he's got "it" while ignoring the majority of his career where the only thing he's brought is PS level QB play.

Monday was a relevant game on national TV and Bryce poo the bed with a turd larger than he is.

No it isnt. He's been the worst QB in the NFL since entering thr league. Anyone with common sense is not signing his 5th year option. Tepper is making him the highest paid QBin NFL history.

If we pick up the 5th year, Morgan needs to be shown the door.

Entertainment business the same as WWE. They can script outcomes all they want to. It's not a sports league.

I don't want either one, but Bryce has been given every advantage possible to be successful and could be replaced by virtually any backup in the NFL and likely a few PS players and we'd get better results. Evero's defense has shown up and done their part more times than Bryce has this season. Yes the scheme sucks. He's got a defense with starters that probably wouldn't be on a roster on other teams. Neither one are good. The defense has given Bryce opportunities to win games and Bryce has poo the bed repeatedly. Bryce hasn't given a dominant offensive performance where the defense could have an easy day. Bryce should have been left in SF last week. If we're being honest, Bryce should never have started an NFL game, ever. But this is a comparison of turd vs turd. It doesnt matter. They're both turds. Flush em both.

Im not a huge Evero fan but he's done ok considering he's been given virtually nothing to work with over the past 3 years, while Bryce has had every resource thrown at him and still looks like a PS QB.

Evero gonna get some looks this year at a HC spot. He's gotten a defense with a whole bunch of JAGs playing hard all season

I make the stuffed potato mix then pipe it onto a sheet pan into 4” discs so crispy on the outside, creamy inside.

It’s a lot easier when you’re surrounded by the best players in the country week in and week out against teams that don’t have that luxury. It’s like playing schoolyard pick’em ball when you get to pick your entire team first.

We weren't outbid for Luvu. He left for less money than we offered because he hated Evero's scheme. He wanted out of here. I thought the shout out to Charlotte and the fans(that's how i took it) was classy though.

I get what you're saying. Changing the coach doesn't solve the biggest, or in this case, littlest, problem. No coach is succeeding with Bryce as his QB. Whatever it takes to get Bryce out of the building is what it takes. If DC has to go to get Bryce out of the building, here's a gift card to Uhaul, because ultimately, that's what's best for the team and the team is what matters most.

I don't think he was a good one to begin with. He was probably the best of a couple willing to take the job under Tepper. Tepper got turned down by Steichen, Johnson, Ryans and who knows how many others before he offered the job to DC. This job was always a retirement fund for anyone willing to take it. Win or lose, you still win.

I'm not a Canales supporter. I have no idea what to make of him at all. I'd like to see him for a few games without Bryce or Dalton. I don't know how you call a decent game with either of those 2. The worst starting QB in the NFL over the past 3 years and the guy the guy backing him up. Design a game plan around that poo.

I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency. I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason. I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails. As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?

Busted plays happen all the time in the NFL. Your QB is supposed to be able to recognize them and adjust on the fly. Bryce had the option to throw into traffic or beat 1 man with a blocker in front to the end zone for a score. Easy call. Run for the score. Sure. Tremble ran the wrong route. The point is, Bryce should have never thrown the damn ball.

Sorry. Wrong route or not, that int is on Bryce 100%. He had a ride open run to the end zone. Elite processing says follow your blocker to the corner for an easy walk in TD. Situational awareness.

I guarantee that was part of the pitch when they drafted him. Guaranteed starter from day 1 his entire rookie contract. Judging by the QB room and how they've played it so far, they're holding up their end of the bargain.

I gotta be honest, this feels like more than just bad coaching. This feels like proving a point. I'm really beginning to wonder if the only way to get Bryce off this team is to prove he can't step up when it matters. No coach can really be this stupid can they? I've said for a long time there appears to be some sort of mandate from higher up that is forcing Bryce into the starting role and keeping him there regardless of what any metric or eye test says. Now whether that's Morgan or Tepper at this point, this feels like Canales may be trying to prove that Atlanta is the anomaly, Bryce isn't the guy, and he needs a new QB, and the only way to show that is to get humiliated on prime time, since the only thing Tepper seems to respond to is national embarrassment. Of course, I could be 4d chessing this thing way too much, and if I am, maybe I should be the next HC for 50m bucks. If I'm wrong and Canales really is this stupid, lawd help us all.
