  1. I don't mind the read, chuba had a blocker with green in front of him. But that throw. Jfc that was terrible.
  2. Wtf. First time in his life Burns has played the run. That's like his 6th or 7th stop at the LOS. If he did this consistently the Panthers probably would have paid him what he thought he was worth.
  3. Now we get to watch them drive down and score the go ahead TD with seconds left so Bryce can throw 3 yard check downs needing a TD.
  4. Classic defensive meltdown. Classic bullshit officiating. Classic Panthers.
  5. Also, shout out DJ Wonnum. Dude has stood out today.
  6. 5 steps back on a shotgun snap lol. Bryce continues to be what he is, and that's not an NFL qb. I had hopes those first 2 drives and after getting pressure one time he's reverted back to the same poo that got him benched.
  7. If Bryce is throwing for 300+ yards a game every game Canales wins coach of the year and were picking in the middle teens. Believe it when I see it.
  8. The biggest hurdle to trading Bryce isn't the compensation but the salary Cap implications and the acceleration of his remaining money. Almost 10 mil in dead cap for a team that has 1.3 million in cap space. Hes not going anywhere this year. Barring a miraculous turnaround down the stretch he also won't be here for training camp next year.
  9. Deserve? Tough word. Nobody "deserves" anything in the NFL. Bryce still showed the same flaws he's shown his entire career. His physical limitations are what they are. The two point conversion, he drifted back and to the right causing the sack because he's 9 yards behind where the pocket should be. The big 3rd down conversion over the middle to XL was a duck with no zip on it. The 3rd down play XL got hurt on was late and had no zip. Gave the defender time to get him behind the line of scrimmage. That said I will credit him for making the deep throws today. That pass off David Moore was about as perfect as perfect can be, as was the sideline strike to XL. They ended up being 0-2 with a pick in the stat book but those were winning plays right there. More of that. Good things happen when we push the ball deep. It's no coincidence that the running game picked up in the 2nd half when we started pushing the ball. The game as a whole was a C+ for him. We win this one going away with Andy imo and Dalton is still going to give us a far better look at evaluating our receivers because of his arm talent but I think if the team isn't in danger of revolting like they were week 2, you put Bryce out there in Germany.
  10. No doubt that Bryce is the coach killer but Frank did get the benefit of year 1 Bryce with no film on him and his deficiencies. Those averages got a LOT lower after our Bye week and a big reason why he didn't make it through the season. Id think the reason they haven't lost all their games by double digits is their defense, which is why I'd argue they don't have the worst roster in the NFL but that's semantics I guess. Offensively though, hard agree. Trash offensive roster full of JAGs. Enjoy the rest of your evening brother.
  11. If you take out the 2 games that Bryce started this season and look at our last 4 games (to better judge what Canales wants to do) against Reichs first 6 its not even close. This years offense leads in all of the following: Total YPG 359 > 294 Scoring 22 > 18 ppg Rushing YPG 130 > 98 Passing YPG 229 > 196 Is it still a small sample size? Yes. Are the offensive line and weapons better than 2023? Yes. Is this still the worst roster in football? Yes. Is the 2023 defense on pace to be one of the worst defenses in the history of the NFL? Also yes. Canales ain't the reason we're not winning games right now.
  12. He doesn't coach the defense and made the ballsy (and correct) choice to bench Bryce after 2 games. Not sure wtf more you could ask out of a first year coach at this point in the season. We've been in the last 2/3 games with Andy at QB this season and won the first. If this defense could get more than 2 stops a game we'd probably have beaten Atlanta and Cincinnati. The offense shouldn't have to play perfect football and score every possession to have a chance to win the game. We've got a ton of problems and holes to fill going into the off-season/draft next year but I feel pretty comfortable (and relieved) in saying that Head Coach is not one of those.
  13. As someone who just popped their hamstring 2 weeks ago, they're a bitch. Nasty bruising and swelling but the fact he was walking without crutches or assistance is a good sign. Means its likely more a low grade to moderate tear (strain) rather than a complete tear detaching from the bone. I'd bet he's out for 3-4 weeks.
  14. Hey now. That's Panthers legend Darius J. Butler. Let's put some respect on his name.
  15. At least he's a fan like the rest of us.
  16. Steph would be my guess. Does seem vague. Wonder if there is some behind the scenes talk of selling the team. I'd believe it when I see it.
  17. None of last season matters and Bryce undoubtedly shares some blame in why there have nene 3 coaches and playcallers. Oline combinations? Every team has different combos throughout the season. Injuries happen. All of those issues are masked with good QB play. Bryce is damaged goods at this point. An average QB would be moving the ball in this offense. A number 1 overall pick should be thriving in it.
  18. Justin Fields looked pretty damn good Sunday but there is a good chance he never gives up that starting spot and plays himself into a long term deal in Pittsburgh. The Vet QB market doesn't look that enticing this year. If they don't go the reclamation project route with guys like Zac Wilson, Trey Lance or Justin Fields there really isn't much there. One name to keep an eye on would be Drew Lock. Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to trading late round draft picks for a guy like Sam Howell either.
