The Bengals are a real NFL team when Burrow plays. Amazing what a great QB does for the entire team.

Shaq Thompson is playing well for the Bills. Panthers could have used him this year. Good locker room guy too.

Derek Carr posted on the huddle when David was with the Panthers. He was just a teenager then. I wish the David Carr experiment would have worked.

And Dan Henning was the best OC

They should have kept Burns

Only way the Panthers win is if the Rams pull a Packers and don’t take the Panthers seriously. Panthers have too many backups playing on defense and do not have enough firepower on offense to score points.

What NFL level coach would come to Carolina to take over this team knowing Bryce is still the QB? The new HC would have to promised he could pick his own QB….however there is a recent Panthers history of that promise not being fulfilled and that HC was fired after 10-games. i also think the interest in this job would be limited due to Tepper . i would rather stick with Canales and get a new QB then bring in a new HC and have the same QB.

Trading McCaffrey did nothing to help the Panthers get better. Not only is he a great player, but he was a leader in the locker room and a great fan favorite. Of course the Panthers squandered the draft picks. I would add DJ Moore to the list as well. What a stupid decision to trade him. There has been so little talent on this team over the past five years that letting their best players go always seemed stupid to me. I would add Burns to that list as well. Getting a 2nd for Burns did not make the Panthers better because they still have to replace him. Losing Luvu and getting outbid for him was stupid too. Not keeping Reddick, and Chinn were also mistakes. They’ve had some good players over the past five years, but they’ve just let them go

Run the ball

And Seefart dumped Buerlein to make Lewis the starter. Proceeds to cut Lewis in the preseason, starts Weinke, the team wins the first game and then proceeds to go 1-15. Seefart gets canned and In comes Foxy and Jake and the rest is history.

Isn’t XL the player Nicole Tepper told Canales to trade-up for during draft day?

Agreed on letting Canales pick his own QB and hope Tepper allows it. Timing is everything and it’s a shame Darnold or Baker were not here when Canales arrived.

I am not convinced a new coaching staff would have any more success than the current. The stink comes from the top which is the owner. This team has looked horrible since Tepper has been the owner and through multiple coaching staffs they have all looked bad. I have a hard time believing that is a coincidence.

I hope you are right but I don’t trust Tepper.

Tepper will never hire a coach like Payton nor would a coach like Payton work for Tepper.

I am not sure the Panthers can do any better than Canales as long as Tepper is the owner. I am convinced he is still meddling and influencing football decisions. Frank confirmed this was happening during his brief stint and I see no reason to believe it has stopped. Tepper can fire and hire as many coaches as he wants but the results will be the same. He is the problem, as no competent coach or GM wants to work with him so all we get is leftovers.

4-3, to another 5-12 season

Ladies and gentlemen- the Tepper Panthers are now playing .

And 2-3 of them came from the Panthers

Pretty sure Tepper wanted BY regardless of the coach. Unfortunately for Panthers fans. I am confident Reich did not want BY.

But he was left handed. how about Nate Chandler. The converted DT. Gentleman was a genius.

Dan Morgan

Yes, But at least with Clausen he was one and done, and the Panthers did not spend valuable resources around him to pretend like he was the answer. Panthers only spent a high 2nd on him, and missed. Since the BY trade-up, the Panthers have made bad decision after another. Almost as if to justify their bad trade-up decision.

The Panthers did that last year with the picks to trade up for Bryce Young. They gave what turned out to be the #1 pick in the 2024 draft to Chicago. What a terrible decision Tepper made to push this trade up on his team for the 2023 draft. It will take years to recover as we are witnessing.

It seems that Bryce is overthinking it. Pre-snap reading he’s over analyzing can’t seem to pull the trigger to get the play started. That’s why they’re always rushing to get the snap off.
